Anyone have experience with this filter.(quality, flow rate, etc) Thinking of using it as in-line and/or gravity.

Wal-Mart? No kidding?

How much did you give for it? I've not seen them for sale there.

The wal mart in my area has totally revamped their camping department. They sell Eureka tents and packs, water treatment ( drops, tabs, and the sawyer line of filters), and a few other pretty cool things. The wal mart I went to had the in-line bacteria filter alone, the bacteria filter kit ( includes tubing adapters, polycarb bottle, and clamps), and they also had the in line viraus and bacteria filter. The filter alone was around 27 bucks I think( not sure exactly as I bought a few other things to make my bag). The kit was 40, and the viral/bacteria filter was alot more. They also offer all of these on their website. I tried it last night in line gravity set up with a bag full of pond water. 32 oz. in i min 28 sec. effortlessly. If gathering water in the field is never a problem, this is the definite way to go.
