Got 2 very similar ones. Even though the Katrdyn (not sure how it's spelt because I'm too lazy to look it up) are pumps and very effective, these are smaller and lighter and idea for short trips out and about. The larger pump filters are okay, but for me, they seem better suited towards longer stay trips. However, in those situations, I'd opt for boiling and charcoal.

I was raised on city water. I am immune from most bugs.

theres no bugs in city water. bugs cant live in chlorine/ fluride solutions.

I'll keep with the millbank bag method, never failed me yet!

well they certainly cant call the water near me H2O they would need a Cl in there somewhere and an Fl somewhere else. and probably an So somewhere.
theres definitely Na in there cos I test for it when doing a water change.
Theres more letters meant to be in our water than a post box

City water has been filtered 7 times by different people.
Probably why it tastes so sweet.
Nothing to do with the chlorine or fluoride.

sorry scientist in me has to say Fl is not Fluorine (which is F)
FL is Flerovium was reported informally in January 1999 following experiments towards the end of December 1998 involving scientists at Dubna (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research) in Russia apparently using isotopes supplied by scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA. Only one atom was identified at that time and the claim only just been ratified. The results of calculations suggest that flerovium will not form a tetrafluoride FlF4, but could be isolated as a water-soluble difluoride FlF2

That's NOT filtering
