rabidApache Report post Posted August 19, 2006 Yeah newbee, I'm sold on the MSR brand of cem-filters, can clean and reuse many a times. Don't know how many gallons until cartridge change, but I can pick one up for ~$30-40 at any outdoor store. Very easy to use and maintenance is a snap. Names like KATADYN, MSR, and PUR ya can't go wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
