I've got the one from the states as well, didn't even think about using a strainer.

Unless i'm reading it wrong, but the way it's written the strainer is detachable. There's nothing like that as far as i can seeArthurPS What did you do about the US charger, did you buy an adaptor or a new charger?
I bought one from the states, charger was not fully charging battery so I bought a charger that trickle charged, now works a treat.The backback hasn't got an inlet strainer but it has got a cap strainer on the outlet. I keep rinsing the backpack and cleaning the strainer out evey couple of days.
