That's pretty cool but damn expensive! I think a few drops of bleach would do the same thing?

Or shave a few small pieces off of a chlorine tablet from a pool, easier to transport.

But bleached water may kill stuff before you drink it (hopefully) but you still are drinking it. Plus you can't drink it immediately, you have to wait a while normally

added time (hiking / recreation / war zone),

need for fire (desert / cave/bunker, heavy rain)

need to have a pan on you to boil in (added weight)

need to let it cool down (see time)

need to ensure it boils long enough (see time)

Plus you are still drinking whatever you killed with the boiling
