A startup company has designed a three-stage, self-contained pump system that's not for backpackers, but might be of interest to boaters or car-campers heading into areas with sketchy water sources. Come to think of it, a group might conceivably lug one to share among many.

Life Can

The carbon stage would reduce organics, possibly including pesticides, etc.

Cheers,

It looks similar to a sawyer .02 filter with a pump and carbon element attached, and then stuck in a bucket. You could make that pretty light and portable.
