This purifier is the best ive had. It uses electricity to basically create clorine from salt to put in the water. It works great, is about the size of a mini-maglight, is incredibly light, and even though it uses clorine it doesn't make the water tast bad. The only draw back is that since it is not a filter it does not remove silt from cloudy water. It is great for clear water from rocky streams or lakes. If you want to go fast, light, and compact this is the filter. If you backpack through areas with silty/cloudy water, I suggest the MSR miniworks.
