Katadyn (say cat'-uh-dine) water filters are known worldwide as the best available. They use a ceramic filter element with a pore size of only 0.2 micron (0.0002mm or 0.000008"). This ensures 100% removal of bacteria, protozoa, and cysts, including giardia, cryptosporidium, cholera, shigella, salmonella, E.coli, etc. Because of the extremely long life of the ceramic element, Katadyn filters produce safe drinking water at a tiny fraction of the cost per gallon of most other filters.
Katadyn water filters have an extensive worldwide testing history, which you can see here.
A note about Spare Elements
The ceramic elements are very durable in normal use, but because they're ceramic, they are somewhat breakable, particularly if they're dropped while removed from the filter for cleaning. If you intend to use your filter for backcountry hiking & camping, you can probably get by without a spare element, as you probably won't carry it with you anyway, and you can boil your water if necessary, if you carry enough fuel. But if you may ever be in a situation where you'd be really out of luck if your filter quits (a natural disaster or emergency situation, for instance), a spare element is a very good idea.
