Clean and Safe Water!
Weighing in at only 1.4 pounds, this water filtration kit is the best. It easily pumps one quart in less than two minutes and attaches to standard `screw cap' plastic hiking bottles. Made out of a ceramic element, it catches even the most miniscule particles and prevents passage of any kind of microscopic parasite or germ. You can actually test this by filtering dark blue dyed (RIT, i.e.) water through to crystal clear water. The core is made out of black carbon, so any odors or chemical tastes are removed. The intake pre-filter sits just two inches below the floating inlet foam to avoid junk floating on the water surface. It is easily cleaned and compact. You can take this virtually anywhere and be guaranteed clean, fresh tasting water. A must for any serious backpacker, as fluid retention is extremely important at all times.

Clean water and get a work out all at once!
I've owned this filter for 3 years. I've yet to do any maintenance other than cleaning it per the instructions. The filter is still in good shape and the pump mechanism is still working great.
I believe, if memory serves, it takes 35-40 pumps to fill a 32 ounce Nalgene bottle. You'll work up the need to replendish fluids just from the exertion of using it.
I guess that is my only negative, it takes a lot of pumping to fill a bottle.

MRS Miniworks water filter
Although I haven't had the chance to use this product as yet , I have read an awful lot of reviews written by people that have used this filter . After inspecting it pretty thoroughly , I believe I am safe in saying that It has all the makings of a well made water filter. After all, if it is used by our military , it must be one of the best because of the tough tests that they run them through before they are issued . I plan on using mine in emergency situations and camping trips. Only down side that I see in it is , it does not filter out viruses .
