Despite some algae, the water quality here at Bathtub Spring is quite good this year, but my MSR water filter is having problems

A reliable source told me to expect good water here this year, and I thank them greatly for that! I filter a couple of litres of water in the fading sunlight before returning to camp and ending the day's hike.
