New User of a MSR MiniWorks Microfilter

[Diadora]

To start with, I'm not 100% sure if I'm posting this question in the right location, but since I'm new to the msg board I figured someone might be able to point me in the right direction...

I have hiked in the Adirondacks quite a few times, but I have always used a water treatment solution like this;



Recently one of the local shops in Montreal was running a special on MSR's MiniWorks EX Microfilter and I figured I'd pick one up.

The only question I have, is should I still use the water treatment solution after using the filter or would the Microfilter be sufficient in the Adirondacks?

Tks,
Brad

The filter is fine. you don't need additional treatment.

Perfect - Thx!

I have used an older version of the same filter without any other treatment, many years in the Adirondacks, without ever a problem.

I also have the same filter, been useing it for a couple yrs. never had a problem w/ it, i always add chlorine drops though just to be sure.

I've used that filter all over the world with no problems. The only thing I don't like about it is cleaning it all the time and the slow pump rate. Other than that it's great.
