Default Making a gravity feed water filter system
Been looking to get a gravity water filter. Thinking about just buying a filter and using a drybag for the dirty water. Anyone every do this. Was wondering if the replacement filters for like the Hiker Pro would work for this or will they need the pressure from the pump to get the water to flow through the filter? Seems I could but one together for less then the 90 bucks for the Base Camp Model.

How about a swimming pool filter, they use sand?

Not sure how big those are and what is the weight like for these. Need it to filter down to .3 microns

Hiker pro filter is the same filter katadyne uses in their gravity bag.
