Check these out:

Berkey Water Filters
These supposedly filter out most bacteria, virsus, cysts, heavy metals and chemicals. They come in various sizes from backpacking to the Crown model that does 26gals/hour. Note that they cannot be shipped to CA until they are certified to be lead-free. There are several US distibutors.

This site has the 'Go" model for backpacking, BOB, etc. They also have a "Sport" model which is a bottle with a straw (listed under Accessories for some reason).

Big Berkey Water Filters

I have not used one of these. And, I am not affiliated with them in any way.

They do look like nice filter systems.
