DON'T DROP IT LIKE I DID!!
I installed the new cartridge in my very old MSR Waterworks filter and it worked perfectly. Parts of the old filter that are no longer needed with this new cartridge: paper filter in the bottom, o-ring at the top and metal mesh screen at the top, you can throw those away.Now for the really bad part. I went to take the cartridge out of the housing to let it dry after my test. I pushed on the bottom of the cartridge while holding it over the kitchen counter. The thing popped out all of a sudden, bounced off the counter and smashed to smithereens on the kitchen floor!!!! I literally had this thing out of the box for all of 10 minutes before it was trashed.I had to immediately go online to buy another one because I am going camping in 3 days and will depend on my filter. Big time bummed at the extra, extra expense. Good filter though...In case you are wondering what it looks like inside there is a ceramic outer layer with a charcoal layer inside. See photo.

1.0 out of 5 stars Neuer Filter ist sehr "dünn"
Reviewed in Germany on August 9, 2023
Habe mir die neue Kartusche als Austausch geholt.
Warum auch immer ist diese Ersatzkartusche in der Mitte aber viel dünner als an den beiden Enden.
Die originale Kartusche die damals bei meinem MSR Miniworks Ex dabei war, war gleichmäßig dick.

Angeblich soll dieser Filter unbenutzt sein, aber der Messring ist schon vor dem ersten Gebrauch kurz vor dem Durchrutschen... hier bin ich wirklich enttäuscht.
