That's why I'm hoping this system is the real deal.

One should not depend exclusively on chlorine for disinfection of water. Some organisms are resistant.

For instance, E. coli takes less than a minute, while Giardia takes about an hour to disinfect in chlorinated water, and Cryptosporidium takes something like 12 days.
