They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

yeah I did my "test" spacing them out a bit, couple of liters and then an hour or two later a couple of more, etc
definitely need to be getting more than 6 liters on a full recharge! Full charge overnight. Treated 3 liters over about 2 hours. Almost at the end on liter #4, the low battery light came on. It's on it's way back for a refund.

Yeah I got mine from Amazon so they are replacing it. I figured that would be quicker. If the replacement does the same I'll call Kataden.

That sucks Ed. Obviously they have some real duds out there. My Explorer (6-7 years old) had never had an issue-ever. Sucks the Lightweight is having issues

I’d rather find out at home than in the backcountry.
But it does suck because it’s a useful tool if it works.

So my replacement went tits up after 11 cycles. It's going back too. Question is I want a UV filter. I'm expecting freezing temps and don't want to deal with a frozen filter. Is the Adventurer a solid unit? I can deal with batteries. I just want something reliable

My adventurer is 5-6 years old and never had a hitch. CR 123 batteries are a little spendy, but it’s been dependable

I really like the Platypus/MSR Gravity filters, I have found that they are a lot quicker to filter than the Sawyer ones. They are a bit more money, but seem worth it. would be interested to hear if anyone else has used both, how they have compared for you.
