I have used the same water filter on three hikes of the AT. 18 month's of
daily use.
I used a Katadyn PF Pocket Filter, it filters up to13,000 gallons. This filter
is $$$. When I got my filter, the selecton was the Katadyn or First Need. I
have hiked with other hikers who did not theat the water or used tablets. I
have seen both types come down giardia.
REI has good information on selection of chemical treatments, filters and
purifiers.
