I bought this for my bike ride but it was left for very little use (only in Morocco became used). In a backpack, this would take up a little space and add weight, but in bike bags, the weight of the product is not such an important criterion.
I wouldn’t pack the product with me for an ultra light hike.
If the cleaner is used in humus-containing water, the filter will gradually become clogged. Blockage manifests itself as an increase in resistance during pumping. In this case, the filter can be cleaned with a bear tongue, which in turn improves the water flow.
The water purifier comes with a gauge that can be used to monitor filter wear and to know when to replace the filter cartridge. The dirtier the water is filtered, the more often the filter should be cleaned and then it will wear out faster than when filtering cleaner water.
If you want to extend the life of the filter, you can use a pre-filter to protect the water end of the hose.
