@TomZentra thanks for responding, and thanks for sharing.

@chitown1966 Water purification requires 3 stages: filtering, virus removal, and taste improvement. You can buy products that do all these things for hikers. Most hikers only filter their water. Using a SteriPEN alone is a bad idea. Without filtering you will drink dead mosquito larvae, animal excrement, and other nasty stuff. Use a charcoal filter to improve taste and remove chemicals, such as petroleum distillates, fertilizer, and insecticides.

@TomZentra thanks for your response. so why buy this if it isn't 100%? just asking. Is there a 100 percent or close to it, water filters for a backpacker/ Hiker?

@chitown1966 Boiling won't remove chemicals. You must use a charcoal filter to remove them.

um how much did you pay for it

@3318ryan Most bladders are well over one liter, but it seems like it would work just as well if you multiplied the time by the number of liters.

@chitown1966 Boiling wouldn't remove any chemicals. If you get your water from a clear, swiftly moving stream, it should be fine.

what about chemicals? water is sometimes full of harmful chemicals found from factories. Id still boil the water

Can you use the steripen for your bladder system that is over one litter?

@OliviaSST I also think the technology is trust-worthy, though one must remember to take precautions not to re-contaminate sterilized water with excess water on your containers lid, etc. But for longer trips in the back-country, I will still opt for a water filter as heavy metals, pesticides and other chemicals are finding their way into waters everywhere, and sterilizing obviously does not help.
