I wouldn't recommend using an in-line filter for a non-pressurized fresh water system. Use an external filter, like a Brita Water Pitcher instead.

Most manual pumps won't do will considering the pressure required to pull water through the filter. The filters are really designed for PRESSURE water system to PUSH water through them, not for small manual pumps to try and PULL water through them. Most pumps don't like to pull water against much resistance.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
