My friends experienced what apparently was a stomach virus problem on a trip down to Venezuela this past spring. When they returned home the diagnosis was viral, not bacterial. I stayed healthy. Probably lucky. But I also tried minimizing exposure. Filtered the water first with a Sweetwater unit, then MIOX the water and let it rest for at least 6 hours before consuming. This was a windsurfing trip so mass and volume of gear was not an issue. Carrying an extra 8oz of insurance was worth it.

Any recommendations for a lightweight, compact water PURIFIER?
