One note. The micro-filter in this bottle is 0.3 micron.

Geoffrey is right. The only reason why a 0.2 micron filter is needed is for certain bacteria. Giardia and Crypto are easily filtered out with a 1 micron filter.

The pore size in this filter is 1 micron, which is small enough to filter out crypto cysts (which are usually in the 4-7 micron range).
