DrinkPure Simple, Affordable Water Filter
Jul-26-14
The student-developed DrinkPure water filter is able to purify water more simply and efficiently than any water filter to date.The DrinkPure filter can attach to almost any plastic bottle and does not need a pump or reservoir. It is also very easy to use—simply attach it to the container of water to be purified and take a drink— and its high flow rates means users can purify up to a liter of water in one minute.
The DrinkPure features a three-filter system that includes a first-stage particulate filter followed by an activated charcoal filter that capture odors and chemical contaminants. However, it is the unit's ability to remove bacteria via its polymer membrane that makes it more reliable than any other outdoor-use water filter.

This looks really good, and cheap as well.
I wonder whether it could also be adapted to fit larger water containers such as 5 gallon plastic drums, (and similar containers currently used in many parts of the undeveloped world to carry and store water).
It may need to be scaled up a bit in size, so that it lasts longer, but I can see it fitted to a container, and then the filled container turned upside down. The pressure of gravity would force the purified water out the bottom through the "drinkpure" device.
