    Good
    This a great product its compact and very small i carry this in my hiking bag just incase i ever need water. One thing i noticed was the taste its not strong enough to make u sick but you can still notice it but with what treatment tablet cant you. So what me and my buddy's like to do is add flavor we use koolaid, crystal clear, and other products it takes the taste away and you have a good drink. Its a solid 4 see pic
