Re: [pct-l] Not about guns

We use a PUR Explorer, and have no iodine taste at all.  Actually,
the way it is put together, the water passes through the (optional) charcoal
filter, then the iodine filter, then through the main filter cartridge.

The quantity of iodine is very small - no color at all.  We know we
don't really need that quality of filter, but think the price is worth
it.
