[Philmont]: Water Filters/Purifiers

Philmont issues MP1 tablets, but also strongly recommends the use of water
filters/purifiers. My questions for the collective experience are:

How important are filters/purifiers?

Are some water sources potentially contaminated with non-biological agents,
e.g., pesticides or other nasties that MP1 can't "kill?"

How many take filters/purifiers?

If you did take, how did you use? In place of MP1, with MP1, or other
circumstances?

Thanks,
