MSR MIOX Purifier w/ Batteries
Good product

The MSR MIOX Water Purifier is a small, easy to use solution for those who need pure water while out on the trail or in emergency situations at home.
I bought the MIOX Purifier for emergency preparedness purposes, but I can tell that it would be great for use away from home, too.
I have practiced with it and found it easy to use and the directions quite clear.
My only concerns about it are the slight addition of sodium and oxidants to the water, and the fact that it does no filtering. However, I am thinking that running the water through a coffee filter and then an inexpensive, basic sort of charcoal filter would help with that.
