This purifier is a bit larger and more expensive than other compact purifiers but is without a doubt the best one I have ever owned! Unless something new has recently hit the market, it's "the only non-chemical water purifier certified to EPA Guide Standard for microbiological purifiers against bacteria, cysts and viruses." (REI). I have used this in Thailand, Korea, Iraq, and all over the US in some pretty nasty water. It's done a great job every time in giving me clean, healthy, and good tasting water. Make sure you pick up a Nalgene bottle as it screws directly into the base of the purifier making the whole process much easier. I wouldn't trust my health and safety to any other purifier and never leave home without it!

Also, note that this has been updated to the First Need Deluxe XL (not sold here.) Both are almost the same except that the XL now filters around 150 gallons and has an improved flow rate of 2 quarts per minute. The new XL replacement cartridge is backwards compatible with the Deluxe.
