[pct-l] Water filtration

[Rees Hughes]

There has been considerable discussion on the list serv about various
options and approaches.  After years of using a variety of pumps and
filters, I have become a fan of the Steripen.  It is lightweight, simple to
use, with no impact on the taste of the water. The downside would be
reliance on batteries (although there is a solar recharge option which does
add some weight) and, like most methods, challenges when purifying murky,
turbid water.
