To be accurate, UV doesn't kill a darn thing. It scrambles the DNA of the organisms in the water, so they can't breed to critical mass in your gut and cause you to become ill.

I take a pump filter with a good prefilter for areas likely to have murky sources. When water is relatively clear, out comes the lighter, more multi-purpose gravity filter.
