Chaz,

I have been using my Katadyn mini for a siphon filter for a couple of years. I found that when I was on the trail and needed water in a hurry, a siphon only system could be two slow. I made a water bag out of sil-nylon. In camp I hang the bag from on a tree full of water. I place my intake hose into the bag and have a piece of cord to tie the filter off as far as possible below the bag. I place the outlet hose onto a cap with a hose barb that fits my MSR Dromlite. I pump some water to get the siphon flow started. This is one of the first things I set up in camp. I usually get enough water for dinner and I leave it work overnight. In the morning I have a full water bag for breakfast and the days hike, if there is no water until my next camp.
