From MSR's info sheet:
The MSR MIOX Purifier is the easiest and most reliable method for warfighters to purify water in the field.
Performance:
Meets the U.S. EPA’s standard for portable water purifiers. Kills bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.
Developed for Military Applications:
The MSR MIOX Purifier was developed for the U.S. military by the MIOX Corporation and Mountain Safety Research (MSR), with support from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The product is a miniaturization of MIOX’s municipal water purification systems, a technology that been proven to be safe and effective in providing up to 1 billion gallons of water per day to consumers worldwide. Prototypes of the MSR MIOX Purifier performed flawlessly during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and provided safe drinking water to Iraqi citizens during the war in Iraq.
How It Works:
The MSR MIOX Purifier uses electricity to convert salt and water into a powerful disinfectant. Operation is simple. Remove the cap, add a few drops of water, and shake to create a brine solution. Press the button, and the brine is converted into a mixed oxidant solution through electrolysis. Pour this solution into a canteen or hydration system and wait 30 minutes. The result is safe drinking water.
Ultra-light and compact - 1/4 the weight and 1/7th the size of a hand held filtration pump.
Easy to use - add water, shake, then press the button.
Can rapidly treat multiple containers of water at one time, so you don’t waste time pumping a filter.
Variable dosage lets you set the unit to purify anywhere from .5 L to 4L at a time.
Safety Indicator Strips increase confidence by verifying performance in “worst case water”.
