OP here, thanks for some of the comments!
I have used a backpacking UV filter and it worked really well AFAIK....my plan with this is to go through a 5 micron filter with charcoal first and then a pass through the UV filter.
The comment about 'Heat' is interesting and I did not find that with my handheld unit, and the short life span comments are interesting as well.
I 'need' it because I would like to avoid buying bottled water and use a variety of sources from garden tap to river water on a long trip into South America and to just be able to fill my tank which I will also treat with bleach from time to time.
Thank you!
