From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Aquamira Water Treatment Drops are a great and inexpensive way to treat water while hiking or traveling, also great as an emergency back up. Aquamira uses stabilized chlorine dioxide, a more effective germicide than iodine, and is free of iodine's unpleasant taste. Treats up to 30 gallons (120 liters). Water Treatment is stabilized chlorine dioxide and contains no chlorine or iodine.Formula works quickly and efficiently by releasing oxygen in a highly active form to kill odor-causing bacteria without unpleasant taste or odor."

"Use McNetts Aqua Mira Water Treatment Solution Kit and enjoy clean water on your backpacking and camping adventures."
From Massey's:
"They are very effective, purifying water against parasites, bacteria, and viruses. There is very little taste produced in the water, after treatment. It is easy to use. It is relatively inexpensive. It is very lightweight and compact. One Aquamira Water Treatment kit includes two, one-ounce bottles, that treat up to 30 gallons of water. Aquamira Water Treatment Drops are useful for anyone who is on an outdoor adventure and needs larger quantities of water treated against virtually all sources of waterborne diseases. It is also a good idea to keep a kit at home, in case your water supply becomes contaminated and you can't safely drink it."

Pros: lightweight, compact, usable in freezing weather, no pumping, no batteries required
Cons: not good for water with lots of silt/dirt (unless you like drinking that stuff even though it's sterilized) or water with man-made chemicals (such as being downstream from a farming area)--use a filter for these situations; small 5-minute wait time for chemicals to react before dumping into water, slight chlorine taste
I've messed with a variety of filters from hand-pumped to gravity fed and I'm happy to say I'm done with that for the most part."
