I think this is a good point that is often overlooked.  If you only use a filter for your water treatment you are assuming that you *never* contaminate the filter's output hose or your water containers.  If you use a chemical treatment you are taking care of the water *and* your containers every time you treat.

Standard practice when treating water with chemicals is to leave your caps a little loose and shake the container so that the chemically treated water rinses out the threads of your cap.
