The Filter did not come with a hose for filling containers. It worked fine for about 5 gallons of water(crystal clear Colorado mountain stream water) I cleaned the ceramic filter with the supplied scraper which made it impossible to filter after that. After several attempts to get it working, I gave up and drank the water unfiltered directly from the stream. It is a poor design that needs work.
