I really like this for two people and have found that running it inline with a bladder works great. It is not hard to suck water through it.
This set up allows me to fill one platy very easily by either hanging it or squeezing and using the other with dirty water in it and filtering it inline.
Hanging it works very fast. It filled the 2L in less than 4 minutes with just a bit of squeezing at the very end of the fill.
Plugging the nipple into the mouth piece of the second platy works surprisingly well and there was only a tiny bit of leakage when I squeezed it but everything coming out is clean so it’s no problem.
It is also easy to burp the bladder if it gets a lot of air while filling by just taking off the nipple and sucking the air through the mouth piece.
For going solo I will just use it in line.
With the nipples on both ends of the filter it is easy to back flush or dry out just using the platy to squeeze air through it.
Being able to open the end of the platy to fill is a lot easier and worth the weight penalty of 2 ounces for me.
Having the endless supply of water with no batteries made me sell the Steripen and with the in line ability to grab dirty water and go this is the perfect set up for me.
The squeeze is a 0.1 micron filter.
