Hello everyone.
Questions here about a MSR water filter.
I have had this filter for about 5 years and in the last 3 I have never used it. Acutely in the last 3 years I have only gone camping once.
I just pulled it out of the storage tote that I had my entire camping gear in. Camping trip this weekend. :wings:
The porous filter has a reddish color to it and the last I remember it was white. Should I toss it or is this normal? If not what happened to it? I scraped the porous material to see if was on the surface but it is all the way through.
The last time I used it I took it all apart cleaned it and let it dry for several days before reassembling and packing it away but when I pulled it out tonight it had moisture in it and smelled swampy. Cleaned it and is now drying as we speak. Is this from heating a cooling over the last 3 years?
Other then the reddish filter it everything looks very good. Is their anything else I should do as maintenance?
Thank You
