*by H***R on September 28, 2015*

The Vario is a great unit, but remember it is not optimally a water FILTER, it is actually a PURIFIER. Using this unit in really dirty, sediment filled water is sometimes necessary though when on the trail. This cuts the life of the filter dramatically, as it gets clogged. This replacement filter is great to have when you get home. A bit pricey, but well worth it for clean drinking water on the trail. I love my Vario, and this stock replacement filter comes with new o rings and even a bit of silicone.
