Has anyone used the Lifesaver Filter? It's stats are remarkable, so's that price.
This MSR unit is supposed to pump around a Gallon per minute. Haven't used it personally. I know this is getting away from the main thread of massive volumes of water but it would suffice for a smaller group. Price is better than the Lifesaver.

MSR WaterWorks Ceramic Filter

Was: $129.95
Now: $69.95


The MSR WaterWorks Ceramic removes more kinds of organisms without using added chemicals. It is the easiest filter to use and maintain. It is cost effective, too.

Removes 100% of bacteria and protozoa (like Giardia). Also removes many pesticides, industrial chemicals, and taste and odor compounds.



Features:

Relief Valve: Vents untreated water back out intake hose. Allows easier, more consistent pumping. Won't spray or leak untreated water.

Activated Block Carbon Inner-Core: Removes many chemicals, pesticides and other dissolved contaminants. Improves taste of water. Removes odors.

Adapter Base: Fits an MSR Dromedary Bag or Nalgene water bottle. Insures integrity of filtered water. Easy-to-use, efficient design. No accessory kit needed.

Opposing-Action Lever and Floating Piston: Easier to use than fatiguing "bike-style" pumps. Patented design.

Ceramic Filter Element: Fine .6 micron mechanical filter. Easy to clean, for superior recovery. Enhances filter longevity.

0.2 Micron Membrane Cartridge: Removes 100% of bacteria, regardless of concentration. Most effective portable treatment available, without adding iodine.

Field Maintainable: Lets you troubleshoot and maintain filter in the field. Replacement parts available, for ultimate longevity.
