User Review: MSR Miox
Rating: ![]()
Price Paid: $79
Purchased this unit for two uses. Primarily for traveling out of the USA and use on backpacking/camping trips where the water source will be relatively clear.
For traveling over the last two years I've taken along a Sweetwater filter and the MSR MIOX. The water sources have been not clear, little funky smelling and potential viral contaminate. Clear and clean tap water to drink. I found that by letting the water sit for a day the pool smell and flavor is reduced or disappears. For camping I still prefer the Sweetwater.
Positives are: Compact, relatively light, simple to use and effective against bacteria, protozoa and virus. A water purifier.
Negatives are: It's not a filter. So sediment, color, odor, chemical in your water can be a problem. The lithium A123 batteries do not last for a long trip (3-4L/day x 30days). Bring spares for an extended vacation.
4 Stars, not 5 because of its limitation of maybe having to drink unclear water and residual chlorine taste.
