Thx for posting this! Just picked up this combo up for my new solo filter. Tried going solo with just a trailshot this year and it was too much work for a main filter. Solo my Platypus 4L is overkill. This looks like it will be perfect. Thx again.
Have you had any issues with your Katadyn Be Free? This past week my buddy and I took it out to Dolly Sods for a 4 day hike and the flow has significantly dropped. This was the second hike that both of us have used it. Our first trip about 4 weeks ago they were both great. After that hike he cleaned his real well when we got back and I did not. My first use this past week in Dolly Sods mine barely flowed at all and his seemed to work great. Eventually mine started to flow a lot better. But after a few uses both of them started to slow again. I know the iron is heavy there in Dolly Sods, but it is very concerning.
Alex Banks no it's been very reliable with moderate use. Was your water source particularly mucky? I had a MSR Trailshot that got some dried up mud in it after the first use and basically stopped working.
So does the solid lid on the seeker fit the small bottle that came with the filter? The website said the seeker is 42mm and the befree 1 liter bottle is 43mm but then it said that the filter will fit both bottles so I’m confused
