Check out an excellent post by Who is John Gall about his findings and photos of an experiment using various water treatments...
from WIJG's "INTRODUCTION:"
"So…I have often wondered, what is the best way to treat water without filtration? I mean, I like water filters, but they have drawbacks: they are often bulky, they may filter slowly, they usually do not filter out viruses, etc. I like the idea of water purification tablets—something that I can include in my little pocket survival kit that I take with me whenever I am away from civilization and so on.

Originally I intended to only test chemical means of water purification, specifically commercially available water purification tablets and certain household chemicals. However, I had two extra petri dishes so I decided to test boiling water too. ..."
from "Treatments:"
