handy, but..

I like this product; it's small and very easy to use, and awesome for traveling in places where you want to treat the water from the tap. In the backcountry, I guess I prefer a pump...I found the taste of the water we treated with this to be overly chlorine-y. We might have been overdosing it, though. At any rate, I'm glad I have it, and continue to use both methods depending on the needs.
