Can I use this to filter warm or even hot water? I'm going on a trip to Africa. For a climb, some suggested to treat water even after the water is boiled by the accompanying staff (the reason is at high altitude the water might not have been completely boiled to bateria free level). Thanks.

Yes, sir. Works on hot water and on cold. I've taken this filter on many trips before I sold it to a buddy of mine. It's a great filter.
