Water Filter Hiking
how do i wash a water filter?
i picked up a hiking water filter at a garage sale. its a simple one with a pump and a tube on each end, one going to your water bottle, the other goes in the river/dirty water.
i was wondering how i can clean it out?
i took the pump apart and theres a what looks like a hot tub filter, but smaller of course, and it has a small plastic film around it that you can take off. do i need to get a new hot tub filter thing or plastic film or what?
if its expensive to buy the filter part, wouldnt i be better off just to buy a whole new one?
You should definitely buy a new filter for it (they’re only good for so many gallons and you probably don’t know the last time it’s been replaced). Take it in to your local sporting/outdoors store and they should be able to tell you what you need based on the brand, size, age, etc…
Filters are not cheap though, it may be worth it, if you plan on using it a lot, to get a brand new one that will last longer and is more technologically advanced.
