While I don't have a lab at my disposal to test the filtration/purification claims, I think it's important to have a few different water purification methods at your disposal. Whether you feel that iodine/chlorine bleach additives are more effective than physical filters...I believe it's a good idea to probably use a combination of methods.
Whether the area you're camping in is more conducive to UV, pasteurization, boiling, or iodine/chlorine bleach water treatments...I think it's a good idea to combine those methods with a physical filtration system. If you're pulling tap water in the US from "the grid" and not a well, it's most likely been treated with Chlorine Bleach already (unless it's post natural disaster / emergency, then assume the water in the tap is contaminated).
These bottles are great in that the filtration is part of the sport top. So, our family gameplan is to pull clear as water as possible (filtered through a cotton bandana or a coffee filter) into one container, treat it chemically, then pour the treated water into these filter bottles for a second layer of "water cleaning" and consume our water from this bottle.
May be overkill, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Ok, so I havent used the berkey sports bottles yet, but I do have a Berkey home filtration unit and its fabulous. I dont expect anything but greatness out of these. The seller was great too, thanks Lisa Decospace! She gives that little extra attention to customers! I also bought iodine since both of the items will be used in my survival bag. Fill the bottle with water, add iodine, wait 20 mins. put in filter and drink. No boiling/fire needed.

Product Description
The Sport Berkey® Portable Water Purifier is the ideal personal protection traveling companion - featuring the IONIC ADSORPTION MICRO FILTRATION SYSTEM. The theory behind this innovation is simple. The bottle's filter is designed to remove and/or dramatically reduce a vast array of health-threatening contaminants from questionable sources of water, including remote lakes and streams, stagnant ponds and water supplies in foreign countries where regulations may be sub-standard at best. This advanced technology was developed, refined, and proven through diligent, investigative research and testing performed by water purification specialists, researchers and engineers. The media within the filter element removes contaminants by a surface phenomenon known as "adsorption" which results from the molecular attraction of substances to the surface of the media. As the bottle is pressed, the source water is forced through the filter. The quality and volume of media used, determine the rate of adsorption. The flow rate or time of exposure through the filter has been calculated to yield the greatest volume removal of toxic chemicals caused by pollution from industry and agriculture. This exclusive filter element is impregnated with proprietary "absorbing" media that promotes IONIC "absorption" of pollutants within the micro-porous element, such as aluminum, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, and other dangerous heavy metals. The "Tortuous Path" structure of these pores gives it its unique characteristics. The Sport Berkey Portable Water Purifier offers a convenient and portable filtration system using medical grade technology.
