Mountain Safety Research Miox Water Purifier

The MIOX Purifier represents a revolution in water treatment. It's ultralight, compact, and easy to use-with no pumping, maintenance, or iodine required. Developed in conjunction with the U.S. military, the MIOX Purifier offers unrivaled ease of use and reliability for purifying large volumes of water, making it ideal for outdoor recreation, travel, and disaster-preparedness. It works by creating a powerful dose of mixed oxidants (MIOX), which is then added to untreated water, inactivating all viruses, bacteria, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium (which even iodine doesn't kill). And since the MIOX Purifier needs only common camera batteries and salt to operate, it's maintenance-free, delivering more water, more easily than any purifier ever before.

Don't fall for the deceptive spin. This purifier is a chemical purifier no more, no less ("no nasty chemicals" right...). The electrically charge reaction essentially makes chlorine out of salt "MIOX." The solution is a chore and it is no more reliable than the UV alternative which are easier, less messy, ingredientless (save for batteries), and as light with the introduction of the SteriPen Adventurer (CR123 batts instead of AA). In my opinion this device became obsolete with the introduction of the SteriPen Adventurer for individual backpackers. For large group or base camps this unit has the advantage or rapidly preparing large volumes of water with the drawback of requiring proprietary ingredients. Check out the SteriPen Adventurer before you make any decisions. I almost bought this unit, but am very happy with my decision to go with the Adventurer. No regrets.

Smaller than Expected
I saw this in a store yesterday, and I was amazed at how small it is. For some reason I thought it was going to be bulky like all the other filters.

Awesome
This is an awesome product! I've used it now on two multi day backpacking trips and swear by it. It weighs next to nothing, easy to use. All you do is put salt in the chamber, add about a teaspoon of water, shake it up, and push the button a prescribed number of times. It tells you when its done and you pour the Mixed Oxidant solution into your water bottle. Weight 30 minutes and your good to go. I backpack in areas where all the mountain streams are clear water so I could see wanting a filter if your in a dirty water area.
