steri pen
excellent at cleaning clear or clearer water, however when it went head to head with my MSR hand pump other than a bit more work i could pump a bottle of water just as fast as scooping up the water and them cleaning it. Will I stop using it heck no it is real cool and light weight.

The Greatest Water Purification System Ever
I spent Memorial Day hiking in the San Gorgonio Wilderness with my wife and a friend. It's always beautiful there but this trip took a turn for the worse when I found that my water filter had cracked. This happened in a dry year when water flow in all the creeks was pretty low. Happily, some friends shared their steripen with us and I was amazed at how quickly we were able to purify water with the UV light. It takes about 45 seconds per quart. They had purchased the full system: steripen, pre-filter, and Nalgene bottle. It weighed considerably less than my filter even with batteries--under a pound. I'm sold and am purchasing my own. You can get the steripen and prefilter (good for removing particulates) separately, which I will since I have many Nalgene bottles, but if you are looking for a good all in one purification system, this is it.
