I'm wanting to get away from a pump filter. Not really thrilled about tablets as an alterate and have decided to try an inline filter. I don't know yet if I'll try in-line with a bladder or a DIY gravity set-up. So, I want a filter that would work for both. I've looked at the Sawyer SP121, the 3-Way, and the Squeeze. Anybody got any advice????

There seem to be a couple inline purifiers (kills viruses too) from Britain around:
http://www.purehydration.com/inline-filter-assembly/
and
http://www.drinksafe-systems.co.uk/products.php#AquaguardEliminator
Not sure how good or bad they are, but the reviews for the Aquaguard have been few but quite good.
Let me know if you get one or better write a review. I'm looking at inline filters too.
I have the aqua guard elimininator which is a nice setup.
Dean,
I have been using the 1st gen Sawyer Inline filter as a gravity filter in camp and as a DIY Squeeze Filter while on the trail.
Given what is available out there now, I would recomment the Sawyer Squeeze filter because it also can be used as an inline filter with a threaded adapter kit that they sell.
I am thinking of replacing mine with the new Squeeze filter for the ease of use of the ability to directly screw onto a soft sided bottle like the Evernew, which is much easier than my DIY setup.
The Sawyer Squeeze will allow you to easy try out both setups as an inline or a gravity filter.
I would recommended using the gravity filter setup while in camp because it does require a little more setup/time where on the trail using it as an inline/squeeze is much faster.
