Steripen Sidewinder is a hand cranked UV water steri system. Does not take out the chunks, but definately kills anything with DNA/RNA. I use a Steripen on everything I drink out in the field after I use a katydin hiker to get rid of any solids.

The sidewinder will process 1 liter in 90 seconds. The Steripen website has viseo clips of their products on action. they even have a Solar powered version that charger the 123 batteries. I have it and althought the steripen works 100%, the charging system leaves a bit to be desired. It is much easier to carry a couple of extra 123 batteries as you get about 200 treatments per set of batteries.
