Re: Filtering water

The MSR Sweetwater Solution is for viruses and the biologicals.

From the MSR website: "It inactivates 99.99% of waterborne viruses and eliminates over 99.9999% of all waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of common protozoan parasites, such as giardia and cryptosporidia."

Doesn't do anything to the chemicals. You'll need to filter them. Your Katadyn Pro should do that. It has the .3 micron glass fiber filter media with the activated carbon core. Pretty much the same as my MSR.

So throw the MSR Sweetwater Solution drops in the water, pump it through your Katadyn, and you should have 99.9999% pure, clean tasting water.
