While Steripens, MSR and Katadyn products, and chemicals are all popular for treating water, these are all practical for those who use water bottles vs. hydration bladders. For those who prefer bladders such as Camelbak, does anyone use and can comment on the Camelbak inline filter that filters water in the bladder before drinking it?
As a second option, does anyone use a regular pump filter and the $7 Camelbak device that inserts in the bite valve to pump clean water back into the bladder?
If neither of these, any other suggestions for bladder users and filters vs. chemicals. I have used the "Hiker" for years but do not like the cross-contamination risk of having two hoses. Want to avoid using bottles as part of the process as well.
