MSR Announces The Guardian Water Purifier

MSR unveiled the Guardian Purifier which they dub "The World's most advanced backcountry purifier". It offers full viral protection and physically removes viruses, bacteria, protozoa and particulates.

You can pump 2.5 litres per minute and the neatest feature is that it uses 10% of its water to flush the contaminants in its filter back into the source. This would mean that you wouldn't have to scrub the filter (as you do with the MiniWorks EX) or backflow as you do with a gravity style filter.

The Guardian Purifier will treat 10,000 litres before needing service and its rugged construction can withstand a 6 ft drop.

Price and availability will be announced soon.
