Lite & easy. Never gotten sick and never waited 4 hrs for anything. Almost 2 years ago went on a 10 day'r with lady friend and she is paranoid about getting sick from water after Mexican water ruined her vacation there the privious year. She had a pump filter and a U.V. pen and we used the same water sources, she got sick on day 9 with the works, you know, jumping behind a bush every 50 yards. Over a week later, she was fine. Hiking the desert and South we drink from some pretty nasty water sources and maybe I have a cast iron gut or this thing works really well.
