Has anyone used this filter in conjunction with iodine? When I am abroad or in really sketchy areas I currently use polar pure to kill the viruses and then use my MSR water works filter to remove the particulates and the iodine taste. I'm just wondering if this filter removes the chemical taste?

The problem with the sweetwater is that it only treats about 75 gallons and I think it still imparts a chlorine flavor when I have used it in the past.

The best thing to do is to add five drops of MSR Sweetwater Purifier Solution per liter (MSR AutoFLow's bag is 4L so if full, it will need 20 drops of the solution) for 99.9999% purification of the water. These drops should be added AFTER the filtering is completed. By doing this, you will not be able to taste the solution nor worry about viruses in the water. The filter will take out Giardia, Chrypto, and Bacteria, and the Sweetwater Solution will easily take care of the viruses. No need to worry about taste or bugs!
