My daily drinking water in Vanuatu (not the Amazon but a Jungle by any other name) came out of a river with livestock and humans up stream from me. I used a MSR "water works" aka "ceramic"filter for 2 years and it was fast and 100% reliable. I never got sick it, it required simple preventive maintenance and the filter never went down. I know this has nothing to do with the topic of the thread and I apologize for that but I could not let a bash on MSR go uncorrected.
