[pct-l] water filters

[Charlie & Nancy Zapp]

I have a Pur (old name now it is Katadyn) that I have used for close  
to 10 years.  I am very satisfied with it.  It may be a bit heavier  
than some of the other filters, but it has outlasted many of them on  
the AT.  I am planning to use it next year on the PCT.  The filter  
elements have gotten a bit expensive ($35-$40) but a little care in  
pumping you can get quite a bit of service out of them.  If I didn't  
have this filter I would consider one of the ceramic filters with the  
field cleanable element.
Piece of Work

Hey, what water filters have everyone found useful, or not worth the $$ 
$, etc.?  Sorry if this has been posted in detail before.  I imagine  
it might have, but maybe with new technology it's worth addressing  
again anyway.

Thanks!
