I did a lot of research before buying this filter.

I have used it while hiking the Inca Trail in the Peruvian Andes, filtering water from springs and fountains on the trail and never had a problem. (Everyone else was spending money buying bottled watter.) It worked really well and pumping is quite easy. I highly recommend this filter as it seems to be (the only one?) on the market that gives pretty complete protection. I recommend getting a Nalgene bottle or some other container that mates with the filter - makes filtering much easier.
