Will this filter leptospirea that causes leptospirosis? Apparently this is a bacteria found on the north side of Kauai in fresh water streams. Blogs are saying filters don't work...seems like 0.2 microns should filter a bacteria, right?

I'm heading to Maui next month, so I've been looking into this also. It looks like a filter does not get rid of the leptospires. you need to either boil the water, or treat it with tablets.http://www.leptospirosis.org/topic.php?t=15
