 wish these were not soooo expensive Jul 04, 2010
i had only used my miniworks ONCE, was cleaning the filter as recommended, and accidentally broke the ceramic insert. MAJOR BUMMER. nevertheless, it is a good unit and good small size, so i am replacing the ceramic part, and will have to be verrrry careful in the future. wish they weren't so fragile!
 It works with the old blue-cap MSRs Jun 24, 2010
I've got an old circa 1994 MSR "blue cap" and ordered this element because like a dummy I left the other one in the pump wet and it grew "stuff".
At first it was a little hard to seat and after I got the cap screwed down, it leaked real bad all around the threads. I was about to return it when I decided to call MSR. They were pretty helpful and said it should work and maybe my o-ring was the problem. And they were right, I replaced the o-ring (using the maintenance kit) and gobbed on a nice amount of silicone lube. It worked! Not believing it, I took it out and put it back together again and it still worked, problem solved...Still wish the top of the element had an o-ring though.
So now I have the element out DRYING before this gets stowed in my disaster kit. If the seal does fail in an emergency I'm sure the JB Weld I have will seal the cap...permanently ;)

replacement filter May 11, 2010
The filter fits and works like the original but cost quite a bit less. I'm happy.
