most are super overpriced
just filter with a basic rig for dissolved solids and then boil it

you won't have to filter viruses unless you live in a 3rd world shithole, or take your water from a sewerage treatment pond. better to just use tablets or boil the water if you're really concerned, but in basically any normal /out/ing situation there's no risk of living viruses in the water

Isn't Giardia/aids/hiv a virus though, I could see that for HIV/Aids but Giardia will fuck you up.

giardia is a bacteria that will be filtered out by even a cheep sawyer mini

hiv/aids does no survive outside the body long and doesn't survive in water. few viruses survive in water and few are present in water outside tropical and subtropical shitholes and even then it's almost 100% due to urban sewer pollution, not actually /out/. this is readily googleable

Not OP but I figure I will ask this here, I have a sawyer mini I tested at my local creek, the water is delicious but after a few days it developes a musty type smell, I can see white flakes in the water to.

googling says the white flakes are totally harmless mineral deposits, but shouldn't the filter filter those out? If it filters down to .01 micron and i can see them with my eye how is it not filtering that out.

Giardia is a protozoan, it's big enough to be separated out with a sediment filter

I would suspect the minerals are making it past the filter and crystallizing in the water.

Plenty.
Hepatitis, rotaviruses, noroviruses, etc. But human viruses don't show up in the environment in appreciable numbers without actively infected people around. Most viral diseases require high densities of humans because they can't exist without a host, this is why Native Americans had no immunity to European viruses. Viruses from water are no concern while /out/.
