I sent these comments on to Katadyn to get some feedback and maybe some
changes. Here are some of their responses. FYI, their a sales group so
understand that. However I trust the source!
-Micro Pur is the only EPA registered & approved purifier, not Polar Pure,
not MIOX. They may claim to meet the EPA standards but they are not
registered and approved.
-MIOX instructions for Crypto are 4 hours.
-Crypto is the standard Protozoa for the EPA test and not Guardia. (this one
I am still looking into, has me a little confused, but makes some sense.
Crypto can kill you, Guardia just makes you miserable and to die of Guardia
you have to be pretty stupid.)
-Crypto is the most prevalent organism in the water according to the NCDC.
-EPA has a lot to do with the instructions on the Micro Pur packaging.
They are trying to re-think the packaging for Philmont.
