Whether you're questioning that swamp water in Florida or traveling into interior Africa, rest assured you won't have ANY kind of little guys swimming in your water with your SteriPen. This thing delivers clean water FAST... killing every kind of living organism with virtually no wait time... in under 2 minutes you have a whole liter... 48 seconds makes 16oz. Yes, the batteries weigh a bit... but I just went over 10 days through Glacier NP with the same set of NiMH rechargeables. Those evenings we stumbled into camp after an exhausting hike... after we ran out of water a mile or so ago... man, you can't beat filling up your bottle with creek water and then in less than a minute sucking down pure water as everyone else waits and waits as they're pumping and pumping for every drop. It's funny how many friends you make at the water hole when you show up with this. Perfect for group trips when volume counts. Because of its sustainability (no need to buy more chemicals or filter replacements over time), I use it not just for backpacking but especially traveling through developing nations where gear accessibly is impossible. Team this puppy up with those NiMH rechargeables and you've got years and years and years of clean water anywhere on the globe. Just be sure to warm the batteries in your pocket before using if the temperature is dipping towards freezing.
