Are you really surprised that your $20 chinkshit filter crapped out on you?
Anyhow, most folks seem to go with Sawyer filters these days. Fairly cheap and very small/light. Probably won't last as long as a MSR, but they're less than half both the price and the size.
Basically you fill one of the pouches it comes with with dirty water, then hook the pouch up to the filter and squeeze it. Clean water comes out the other end. Just make sure you don't ever use the dirty water pouch for clean water as it'll undoubtedly contaminate it.

Chinese stuff is usually high quality and militaries never issue bad gear. I'd say it's legit.
