COUESAZ Report post Posted October 22, 2006 I think that pur is now katadyn filters. They look just like the old Pur. I had a Pur and it is now my brothers. It uses the same filters as my katadyn does now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rygo72 Report post Posted October 24, 2006 My dad gave me a First Need Deluxe Water Purifier by General Ecology and I had it for 10 years. When it got stolen 2 years ago I bought a new one. BTW the First Need is a purifier and not a filter. Check out the difference between the two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatfootdoc Report post Posted October 26, 2006 Bret, I have the hiker and love it, never had any trouble with it and it is not really that slow to fill up a canteen or a water bladder. Carry it with whenever I am in the woods and never even notice it. AG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
