Is this the only filter I need to use or do I still need to use Micropur tablets ? Assuming a North American water source.

Assuming you follow the instructions for use and keep the unit serviced and the filters clean, you can avoid the tabs, unless the water source is really quetionable! Personaly, I still carry the tabs as backup in the event of a pump failure or in the event I mis-place a part in the backcountry.__ IT HAPPENS!!! I have put a lot of water through mine on many backcountry trips and also some trips in civilized countries without fail or tabs. It works!!!
