Dont see how those questions could possibly produce anything that could be used to justify any project.(unless you are making a battery operated one) Thats all I need, more spare batterries along with the dead ones in my pack.

Comment: I left my filter at home my last trip and used Polarpure. Found that I don't mind the taste at all, like the convenience and weight!
