More About Sweetwater Microfilter
The Sweetwater Microfilter eliminates over 99.9999% of all waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of common protozoan parasites such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. It comes with a stainless steel prefilter, two color-coded silicone hoses, foam float, water bottle adapter, cleaning brush, and carry bag.

Purifier vs. Microfilter
A water "filter" generally claims to reduce or eliminate protozoan parasites and bacteria.  A filter is adequate for remote wilderness seldom visited by people.
A water "purifier" also removes or inactivates viruses and is therefore ideal in any situation.
