My friend is going camping and wants me to find a filter thing for water. I have looked all over the net and no luck. She got this from a fishing store in Bishop California and wants it again but we don't know the name. So it is a water filter that is maybe 6" high by 3" or so across. It is round and made of fiber the kind of thing that has folds from top to bottom. white in color with a little spout (nipple) on top that hooks to a hose. So I guess you have 2 containers one that you drop this filter in with dirty water and another on to recieve the clean water. from the hose.
I have no idea how this works but that is how I remember she explains it. She said its great and you don't have to pump. Okay!!!! I don't camp so I am probably explaining this all wrong....
So all you campers does this sound like something you know about and where we can get it from....
Thanks

The only kind of water filter you don't have to pump is a gravity feed filter like this one:

http://www.backcountrygear.com/catalog/accessdetail.cfm/KAT1500
You fill the bag with natural water and overnight it fills the container below with filtered water. For use if you dislike pumping.
Some people make their own gravity feed filters using the replacement cartridges from other filters, so the filter element could be of various designs, if this one doesn't look exactly like you describe?
On the other hand, for use during the day you could use either a hand pump filter like my favorite Kataydyn Hiker: http://www.backcountrygear.com/catalog/accessdetail.cfm?PRODUCTS__ProductID=KAT1205
or Aqua Mira water purifying tablets: http://www.backcountrygear.com/catalog/accessdetail.cfm?PRODUCTS__ProductID=MCN1001
