Here's what customers have to say
The water filter is praised for its ease of use, fast flow rate, and ability to provide clean, filtered water for large groups. It is described as lightweight, compact, and durable, with useful features like a quick-connect hose and in-line shut-off valve. The filter effectively removes sediment, bacteria, and other contaminants, delivering safe and great-tasting water.

Great gravity filter for group
I love the Katadyn BeFree filters for use with smaller 1-2L collapsible water bottles for personal use and have been just as pleased with this 10L setup for filtering water for a group. Speed of flow is great especially if filtering from a flowing/clean-ish source. Filters are easy to clean out if they become clogged or flow slows down.

Great for large group camping
Like the other Katadyn filters, this will filter at 2L/min, and is fantastic with the gravity feed and the weight is great also. The material feels durable (I've only used it in situ a few times), and the clear side window for keeping a visual eye on how much water is left is nice. The main con on this bag, is you have to have the filter on it while you fill it, which means it is nigh on impossible to completely fill it without getting the filter in the dirty water (unless you have a small waterfall to fill at). For this reason, I would recommend the 6L over the 10L.

Good filter
Used this on a western hunt for water filtration. We had clean water from a stream but worked well.

Great, high capacity filter
Used on a lengthy raft trip to filter water as we went so we wouldn't have to bring so much on the boat. Worked well and the capacity meant we did not have to refill so many times to top off the jugs. Only issue is that it did seem to flow slower than advertised but possibly user error. I would purchase again if needed.

Perfect for a Group!
Easy to fill, easy to use, and no worries about contamination! The clip to stop water flow was really nice. I think a point of failure could be the hose, but worked well for one multi-day trip so far.

Filtration at its Finest
This is the mack daddy of lightweight filtration devices. I took this on an 11 day float hunt in Alaska for moose and my filtration time was cut considerably. There's nothing worse than needing water and having to wait forever to complete the task. I would highly recommend this filter. My previous trip, I took a Sawyer filtration system, which is made by an amazing company, however this unit ran circles around it from a production standpoint. I also love the 10L capacity. I could fill all of our water containers off of one fill. I can't recommend it enough.

Easily clogged
Used this on a week long hunt in pretty clean water supplied by a slow flowing spring. The filter clogged almost immediately. Required constant babysitting and took hours to filter a full cycle. I’m sure it would work fine if you were super picky on where you are sourcing water from. I’m skeptical to rely on this system again.
