[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2588942, member: 9374"] Nothing short of a charcoal or other absorption filter will remove dissolved contaminants or chemicals like fuel, etc., in water. The LifeStraw will filter down to [B]0.2 microns[/B] (not 2 microns.... 0.2) and the Sawyer Mini will filter down to [B]0.1 microns[/B]. It does work on nasty water... but not necessarily contaminated. Check out the YouTube videos of either and see it taking dirty nasty brown water from ponds and such to clear, clean drinking water. One of the reviewers on Amazon for the Mini works in Fiji and has been using the higher-volume versions of the Sawyer for over 5 years and says they are as good as day one. I've never used either of them, but I just ordered a Sawyer Mini based on the smaller particulate filtration and the 100,000-gallon rating. I will check it out when it gets here Thursday and post my thoughts. And on YouTube, there are people literally drinking [B]POOP WATER[/B] through theirs. Damn. I'd say that says a lot for their confidence in the product. :ooh2: [/QUOTE]
