I plan to spend more time in the Rockies where sometimes the only available water source is loaded with fine silt that'll eventually jam a filter (like one site last year in Yoho).

For you locals in mountain regions, what's your lightest and quickest set up for filtering out glacial flour and silt?

This video seems the best, using water wizard. Adds a 3L cnoc vecto, eye dropper, and coupler to the load out and maybe a second 3L vecto as the catcher

Edit. questions I should have asked up front to get to the heart of the issue. Based on field experience or tests, when purifying clouded glacial flour water

- how many liters before 1 micron filter jams up?

- how many liters before water filter gets so slow to be an impediment, even with back flushing?

- how many extra water tabs or aqua mira is needed and how long the extra contact time?

in the absence of reliable guidance for these, water wizard floculant seems like the lowest risk choice
