Troy,
Thanks for the quick turnaround. I have a few more minor edits, in the same EDIT/Edit/Comment format. None requires a re-write so after making the revisions you may upload to http://tinyurl.com/5vrxa7 http://tinyurl.com/5vrxa7
When you do so be sure to click the "Owner Review" box. Also, please delete your Tests/OR folder copy.
As this is your second Owner Review, you are now officially a Newbie and eligible to apply to test gear. Congratulations! To do this, you need to (i) complete a tester agreement (you can download one from the BackpackGearTest.org website), and send it to Kathy Waters (address on the website), and (ii) join BGT’s sister Yahoo group, backpackgeartestERS, and watch for Test Calls. A hint – keep posting Owner Reviews. That will earn you credit with the Test Managers.
Cheers, Richard

### Manufacturer: Katadyn

EDIT: Katadyn Products Inc. [Here – and only here – we require the manufacturer's full legal name. You can usually find it on the copyright notice on the home page.]
### Capacity: 200 gal (750 l)
###
EDIT 200 U.S. gal [BGT's approved abbreviations, which are mandatory, are listed below the conversion table on BGT's website. Though now rarely used there is something called an Imperial gallon, which is slightly more than a U.S. gallon.]
### It also comes with a 36 in (91cm) output hose that can be attached to water bottles with openings that are 2 in (5.08 cm) or greater ###
Edit: (5 cm) [Better to round off]
### It all fits nicely in a black, zippered bag that can easily clip to a backpack. ###EDIT: to my backpack [You can't speak for all backpacks. ]
### I have filtered approximately 100 g (379 L) which is around half of the manufacturers listed capacity. ###
EDIT: 100 U.S. gal [As above. "g" is the abbreviation for grams.]
EDXIT: manufacturer's [possessive, with an apostrophe]
### I used the Katadyn Hiker water filter to refill water bottles and bladders from the Buffalo river which was very clean and clear. ###
EDIT: Buffalo River [upper case R]
### and rivers I have filtered water from has had very clean appearing water.###
EDIT: have had [rivers . . . have]
### Makes water taste great ###
EDIT: I should have flagged this the first time. Strictly speaking the filter doesn't modify taste, but allows the water to filter without adding any chemicals (such as iodine). So "No chemical taste"
### Short hoses makes water access difficult ###
Edit: Always or just sometimes? If the latter "Short hoses can make water access difficult."
