1 febrero - Katadyn Vario water filter cracks

I noticed that the Katadyn Vario water filter we have been using has 2 cracks in the spindle that holds the pump handle. For now, I have bypassed the ceramic prefilter which prevents water spraying all over the place but the filter cartridge wears out faster. That doesn´t matter now because Jen will return the filter to REI when she returns to the states. It did have a number of innovative features, like pumping on the upstroke and downstroke and the combination ceramic and glass filters. Unfortunately, the design was not robust enough for our purposes.
