LOL. Touche Monsieur...

I'm not sure how the "forcing it through" affects it. I know I have't seen a gravity filter
in use in rock flour laden glacial streams. I've seen plenty of pump filters - and in the
right conditions the ceramic plugs up so bad it basically can't be scrubbed clean.

But then again I'm in the jungles of Mexico, what do I have to worry about? Brum.


I think that's the crux of it - your water problems are entirely different from mine. You certainly don't have glacial rock flour to contend with, and when I'm up above treeline I don't even bother treating - something I'd probably never do where you are <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
