<p>Of course for a colossus you have to remove the liquid first.</p>
<p>But after, the MSR gravity filter filters more than 1.75 liters per minute (that's what they said, I didn't tried yet)</p>

<p>Tried a gravity filter and it was too slow for me and it required elevation. with the pump I just drop the tube in and pumped into a bucket, didn't even have to move the lamp. Yes, it was a little work at about 5 minutes/gallon. filtered it twice.</p>

<p>There is some gravity filters. No need to pump.</p>
<p>I just ordered a cartridge. I'll let you know if it works.</p>

<p>I used a PUR water filter I got from REI a few years back...used it for camping. I think it was 1 micron.</p>
<p>Instead of removing the Humungo cap, I drilled a hole and glued a standard garden hose fitting to it. It's real easy to access the liquid now.</p>

If you decide to filter it use the msr filter pump without the carbon filter. Its kind of hard to find the one without the carbon filter these days, but its needed. If you filter it only do it one time, maybe two. Do not melt the wax and remove it. Multiple tamperings can weaken the glass and cause it to break.

<p>I filtered mine in about 3 hours...worked out great! Before filtering it was so bad I could not even see the goo. I used a water filter into a bucket and then back. Filter is shot tho...</p>
<p>Good luck and let me know if you need more info.</p>
<p>Cheers, Jethro</p>

The guy was not a collector. He got the lamp from his ex-roomate as a patrial payment on rent past due. He was only asking $225, but after talking through texts for about a week, he came down to $200 and a chainmaille cuff for him and an art glass necklace for his mom. How sweet huh? Since I make art glass beads and do chainmaille also, it was a sweet deal!!! I had to drive about 75 miles one way, but I had other things to get done along the way. So it wasn't too bad. :). I'd have driven a lot…

I'd have driven a lot further if I had to. It's still pretty cloudy, but I'm gonna do what Erin said and give it at least 2 months before I start worrying.

<p>I wouldn't touch it...for now. Run it for 1-2 months and see what happens. Matt is indeed the only person on here who owns and runs one of these (that I know of), so you're right to ask him questions.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Don't open it! </p>
<p></p>
<p>And yes, take it from someone who bought a cheaper filter... it wasn't worth it. MSR is the way to go, but it's going to take FOREVER to filter that thing. </p>
