need you to weigh in on this /out/
i have had the msr miniworks for 3 years with zero problems. recently however, i was being a lazy faggot and instead of sanitizing after a backpacking trip by boiling the pieces, i stuck the chamber and pump head in the microwave for 1 min and walked away.
well there was a little plastic-y thing in the pump that melted and now the pump is ruined. i was reading over the warranty on this and it said its not covered by misuse or improper handling/maintenance. however, i tried searching for a pump head on ebay and amazon but i cant find the piece.
should i make up some bs to try to have this repaired by MSR or should i ask them if they will sell me a separate pump head? im afraid they wont want to sell me a pump head and ill be out of a water filter/$70

You tightass fuck. 3 years, and it shits itself because of your stupidity, and you won't just spend the $70 on a new one?

Send it in they might fix it. What do you have to lose?
Also you could just use it as a gravity fed filter if the pump thingy still lets water through.
But yea I am like destitute poor but 3 years from a 70 dollar water filter is pretty good just buy a new one. Hell my replacement cartridges are 40 bucks.

If you're poor the one thing you can't afford to be is careless. Take better care of your stuff anon.

Try the truth. It worked for me. I asked MSR customer service if I could buy the little wire wrapped pre-filter for a gravity filter project I was working on. I told them (honestly) that I own a MiniWorks filter, but the part was not going to be used on it. They sent it to me at no charge and even paid postage. Nice people. Good luck.
