Seeking real world experience here, not hearsay.
I was at a gun show a while back and a gentleman there was selling Clearbrook portable water filters. They fit in a 22 oz squeeze bottle. He had an aquarium filled with grey-green pond water (live alge and everything) in front of him. He would dip the bottle in, replace the filter and cap and pour the water into clear cups, allowing you to try it. He drank the same water as well, mentioning that he would finish the tank (and make many trips to the bathroom) before the show was over. Based on experience, I can tell you the tank was definitely filled with plenty of both live and decaying organic material.
The reason I'm asking is I would like to add a very easy to use, no instructions necessary, emergency water filteration system to my emergency preparedness kit, and this looks like the ticket.
Does anyone have experience with these water bottle type filters? The Clearbrook filters have somewhat impressive water test results from independent labs which includes microbiological filteration testing (eg. cryptosporidium, Giardia, etc)...

Experience with other types of easy to use filters would be appreciated as well.
Thanks for your help!
