Good portable water purifier for backpacking

I've been looking at the stuff by Giegerrig. They have pressurized hydration packs with the option to add filtering...

What I don't know is if their filters will improve taste as well as removing particulates/viruses/bacteria

This filter does contain carbon media so it should remove at least some bad tastes and chemicals.

Yeah, I've been talking to the Geiger rep... I can buy their stuff wholesale, so I might get the filter to try out. I already have one of their hydration packs, and I retrofitted my OGIO with one of their bladder systems, so the filter would just be a plug and play deal.
