I suggest two fold, one of the gravity filters that use buckets stacked on top of one another..
such as this.. http://www.cheaperthandirt.net/prod...dium=organic&gclid=CNOh_5am67MCFeiPPAodCR0ABg
this would be good for a static environment where you are not moving location to location..
This one, is more for a hiking day in and day out..

But what I have gone to recently is just carrying the powdered pool shock which is very high concentrated bleach..
I buy the one that does not have anti fungus.. it makes gallons and gallons of bleach.
this is a calculator for using bleach to make water safe, but remember it does not remove the debris and as such I might use one of the filters to remove debris, add the bleach, and I also carry Mio or propel water additives to make the water taste better, although the Msr does remove the offensive tastes as well.. the bucket filters doesnt so much.

Although expensive look up the Berkey water filters. If you do go that route get the biggest one you can afford, you won't regret it.
From what I have read the Berkeys are the best.
<nevermind- Berkey does .5 micron>
I've successfully used (meaning I didn't get sick drinking lots of really black nasty swamp water!) filters from General Ecology (without any chemical treatment) and MSR (with aqua plus tables added for virus protection).
Which ever filter you get pick up a pack of coffee filters and put it over the intake hose. It'll cut down the crud going into your filter so you won't have to clean it so often.

Is this in case you have to leave and be on the run? If not, sink a well and put a good Bison pump on it.
