i've been doing quite a bit of digging around for a water filter that i can depend on. I have been running into the term 'microns' quite a bit. I am doing an Isle Royale trip in a few weeks and am wondering if this filter will be okay to use by its self. On there DNR site it says a filter should filter .4microns or less for bacteria and 25 microns or less for tapeworm. Will this filter do the job?

For the record Sue, a micron is 10^-6 meters.

A Katadyn would work well too. This model filters down to .3 microns. Katadyn models will filter down to .2 or .3 microns depending on the model.
