Je zegt dat hij leeg 290 gram weegt, maar ik heb gelezen dat dit enkel de filterbehuizing met een droog/leeg filterelement is. Dus zonder slangen, voorfilter, gewicht, koolfilterelement ook ?, tas, sleutel, etc. En dus ook zonder het alle water wat er in zit zodra je hem in gebruik hebt gesteld en erin moet zitten toch? Zou je alle zelf willen wegen? Waarschijnlijk komt hij compleet zoals je hem meeneemt op reis en nog zonder water erin op zo'n 450 a 475 gram uit en vol met water wat je adviseert om dit te doen iets van 600 gram? Zou je dit willen wegen? Dit is immers heel iets anders dan de 290 gram wat je van internet haalt en niet zelf gewogen hebt.
Thanks for the video, I've got a couple of questions: Do the carbon filters reduce flow rate when they need to be replaced or just lose effectiveness? How much force do you need to use to detach the hoses? I wouldn't want them to fall off while using if they got bumped or something. Did the filter cartridge come in foil? I saw on their site they say unused shelf life for filters is "at least 10 years if foil sealed", 3-5 years otherwise.
Hey, thanks for those great questions. The carbon filter will impact flowrate when they are more then overdue for replacement. They loose there effect after a month in use but later it will start to impact flow rate. You don't always need the carbon,it's more for chemicals and heavy metals so it's not always needed depending on your water source. The hoses are firm attached so no worries there so far,maybe after some years they loose there strength but I would just cut of that part. The filter is pre installed so shelf life is between 3 to 5 years so if you buy this with prepping in mind,I highly recommend getting an extra sealed filter and extra carbon discs. I hope I answered all your questions,let me know if there is something more I can do for you. I wouldn't mind a thumbs up on the video and maybe even a follow 😁 greetings,Angelo
Thnx for sharing and it was explained very good! Little thing to improve (if i may say 😁) .. you might have zoomed in more when you were pumping up, so i could have seen the working better.. Looking forward to the next video X
if you are going to store the filter wet for a longer time, how do I do it? and does it also apply to carbon filters? in practice storage for a year wet how can it be sterile?
@@AndreasNilssonSweden Hi Andreas, thank you for this good question. This is how I do it. I filter a little bit of tap water. Then I close the waterfilter without pressing the blue button in the bottom. Before that I remove the carbon disk as it is only good for a month when you activate the carbon. When I take the filter out if storage,I first filter some tap water to see if all stull works well, then I press the blue button,remove the filter, install the new charcoal tab and reinstall the filter and again filter little amount of water,just to have the filter standing in water again. I always have some water in the filter to prevent the filter from drying out. Hope this advice helped you, don't hesitate to contact me for follow up. ✌️🤠
@@Becomingwildman thanks for the good answer, it sounds like this is the system I will buy, I currently have an msr miniworks ex which is about 10 years old but I don't think it cleans properly and that it doesn't have an active carbon filter and that it doesn't remove viruses which in itself shouldn't be a problem but better to be safe than sorry.
@@AndreasNilssonSweden indeed, the added carbon disk is great but its not for viruses as the in build filter takes care of that. The carbon is for heavy metals, chemicals and taste but it will never clear it out completely. But still it's more than what other brands offer. I'm mostly using the jerrycan of Lifesaver for many years and I highly recommend this brand.
@@Becomingwildman are you saying that from day one you activate the carbon filter, so that you let sniff him water, that this carbon only works for maximum 30 mre days from that moment? So aslo when you only filter this first day just 5 litres with it and no other days and no other litres after this? And if you let dry this carbon filter directly after this first day, that this also not working anymore when you want to use it 30 days later? And is this for every activated carbon filter like so? So also for the actived carbon inside the Miniworks EX or the activated carbon in the Katadyn Hiker pro where is activated carbon inside the filter? An also for the Pure Clear water filter who says that you can use this filter for 2 months or 200 liter wher also activated carbon is inside this filter?
Great review and from a beautifull office
Cheers matey, can't complain about our local spots.
Thanks for the good video
You got new subscriber 💚
Sweet, thanks for tagging along
Thanks Angelo nice review 👌🏻

Does this need to be backflushed if clogged?
Hi Nelson. No not at all. If this filter stops working,then it's time to replace the inner filter
if you are going to store the filter wet for a longer time, how do I do it? and does it also apply to carbon filters? in practice storage for a year wet how can it be sterile?

@@AndreasNilssonSweden The MSR Miniworks EX does have activated carbon in it. But it is inside the ceramic filter so you can not change it on his own.
