Here it is

It makes a nice change to actually get a reply and thank you from someone O0
We get new members coming on the forum now and then asking questions, you go into great detail and spend lots of time replying, then they never post again,
This makes me and many others reluctant to reply,
Have a great trip and let us know how ya go on with your filter,
Would be good to see s trip report from ya GoPro

The filter arrived from Amazon on Saturday and I got a pack of the 'O' rings from Wilko's too. I don't know if they have updated it as when you look in the end of the filter where the seal is, its got three lugs on that seal that push into the thread that look like they may stop it falling out. Not sure if this is an improvement or they wear away after a few attachments.


Thanks again for your help and advice  O0

Sure here you go, let me know if it's been updated? Be good if it has as it's a sign they listened to their customers or worked it out themselves.

I've used a Lifestraw for a couple of years now, as far as I can tell it works fine, no plans to replace it yet.

Are you sure the sawyer in the picture with the new seal is a mini because those seals have been used in the larger sawyer squeeze for a long time?.
