Regardless of which filter you may be using, after running the water through the filter, it should either be boiled or treated with SSKI.

Just common sense.

What about a few drops of bleach (I forget the scientific name of pool shock)?

I’ve used the katdyn pocket filter since mid 80’s all over the world while active duty an never had to do such. Some of the newer types and brands are not as good as the katdyns in my experience an opinion.

Never had to boil it....if processed through the katdyn.

Now all that said with gamma globulin shots an a crap load of immunizations also had something to do with staying well aside from suspect water sources.

I have two of the expedition grade katdyn filters as well as a few of the ceramic pocket filters. Other brands are cheaper yet.... Not worth the trouble when it comes to getting sick.

Stay safe....
