The MSR MiniWorks EX Microfilter Water Purifier provides proven, reliable water filtration and purification for camping and hiking, backcountry adventures, global travel, survival situations, and emergencies. The replaceable Marathon EX ceramic element removes bacteria (such as E. coli. Shigella, salmonella, cholera), protozoa (such as giardia, cryptosporidium, amoebae), and particulate, and its carbon core eliminates unpleasant tastes and odors caused by organic compounds such as iodine, chlorine, and pesticides.

Works great, but needs a little bit of time. Provides clean, drinkable water. The only downside is that you have to scrub the filter every 3/4 of a gallon. With waiting for the 30 minutes for the chlorine tabs, we had a day’s worth of drinking water in less than an hour.
Box was a little battered up, but the unit seems fine. Hope to use this on my motorcycle camping trips when water may be difficult to come by.
Wonderful unit Used backpacking. Ran out of water and this system saved us
