Water filter from PWGazette

Anyone ever bought the siphon filter from them? I bought one and wanted someone else's opinion.

I converted it into a gravity filter like a Berkefeld, using 4" PVC and lots o' fittings.

I've never heard of these guys. They don't list the filter's absolute pore size, which would be a red flag to me and the filter doesn't remove viruses (I don't know of any that do) so you still need to treat the water chemically. I looked at Dalton's page because they use Dalton filters and you need to read Dalton's comment at the end of the page. They rate Katadyn's "Pocket Filter" as the safest.

I have a GSI and NCI filters and a H2O-to-go straw. I would still treat any water, I got from the wilds, if at all possible.

I prefer the boil method. If I do not know the source of the head waters, I filter to remove chemicals(or at lest part of them).

I do not even trust bottled water. I have a NCI filter hooked to my kitchen sink. I refill my bottles at home.
