fresh water is supplied to disaster-hit regions could be revolutionized  after 
an Ipswich-based businessman invented a £190 bottle that makes  foul-smelling 
water drinkable in seconds."  It is a little pricey ... $386  plus shipping, 
handling, import fees and taxes. But a hiker would probably never  have to 
worry about pure drinking water again.  _Bottle  makes dirty water drinkable_

Switchback replies: I would think if this is really true, the price would  
come way down as production heats up.  That would be cool.  
 
One thing that I would be interested in is how the water flow is as you  use 
the bottle/filter over time.  Most of these bottle/filters work great  in the 
beginning, but as they filter contaminates, they slow up a  lot.
 
Thanks for the interesting info.
