RIDICULOUSLY COMPLEX !! I have a UV Serii-Pen (less than a minute using standard rechargable batts AA or AAA) ... And I have both Aqua-Mira tablets (one per liter) and Katadyne and Aquamira filters, from Ranger-Straws up to Base Camps. I also carry Chlorox and a (wood or esbit or alchohol) stove system.
And, I am about to add potassium permanganate crystals, which only takes a few tiny crystals per liter. The MIOX system, described here is just "silly" complex .. dependent ... no effin way

@UTUBELO I'm sorry, but you have been misinformed. A microfilter can only filter bacteria down to one micron. Which is is sufficient for use outdoors in the US. To eleminate virises you need a purifier. Bleach, iodine, Miox solution, or UV light, are the most reconized way of killing or sterilizing virises so they can't reproduce. You can also boil water for 5 min to be safe. If you are wondering which is nastier, a virise can infect a bacteria.

Or just buy a Steripen and make your life much easier.

does it make the water taste salty?
-
What about volume of water, do you use the same solution for a gallon? Or increase the wait time?
-
9 minutes for that!!!!!

@solobackpacking I already said the same thing as you many posts back. People will buy it because capitalism thrives on the ignorant and uninformed.

Go to MSR website...you can buy them for 139.99
Uhh, nice review, cept you were wrong about the purifier vs. filter thing. Almost ALL water FILTERS will filter out viruses and protozoa such as giardia, and crypto.

@UTUBELO Some water filters can filter out viruses and such, but a good majority do not. Protozoa, girardia, and crypto are the main ones that filters can get, but viruses are smaller and require a much finer filter or purification. My MSR filter is .2 mirons and will not filter out viruses.

I believe I got it from either amazon or an online surplus and survival store. I'm sorry I don't remember where though.

@tunfalk Yes. It is a much better filming environment than outdoors. I am going to post some videos of outdoor usage in the future if I have time.
