Thank you for your encour...Dear Jolly Green Giant,<br /><br />Thank you for your encouraging feedback about Delios. It has been over 18 months since the Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan. Since then, as you know the production has been halted and we needed to source the manufacturers in operation from zero. <br /><br />As of today, we in the UK have been given a go-ahead to take pre-order for Delios. We can take a minimum SuperDelios UKhttp://www.superdelios.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079470994459135415.post-31883614624067621862012-03-28T04:44:30.034-04:002012-03-28T04:44:30.034-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079470994459135415.post-48716162025380133592011-10-16T16:32:46.815-04:002011-10-16T16:32:46.815-04:00Great, i'll come back here, i'm french and...Great, i'll come back here, i'm french and not sure to understand all...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079470994459135415.post-18938412997019738232011-09-29T03:11:32.646-04:002011-09-29T03:11:32.646-04:00Great blog post.

However, if you happen to be in some really nasty, standing water, such as swampy type waters, I'm curious as to whether 2 microns is enough. Would it be better to use both the purification tablets AND the filter or would the 2 microns be just as Women's Waterproof Hiking Bootshttp://womenswaterproofhikingboots.com/what-are-the-best-womens-waterproof-hiking-bootsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079470994459135415.post-16961649269650747382011-05-07T09:23:50.964-04:002011-05-07T09:23:50.964-04:00@ Stick - The lid is just a simple flip up lid, bu...@ Stick - The lid is just a simple flip up lid, but the joint is pretty cheap. It snaps down, but over time it will no doubt eventually break. I use it on top of my Platy and drink directly from it, no second bottle.

But doing this, you should be able to only take the Delios out when you need to use it and then safely store it when done. <br /><br />Stickhttp://sticksblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079470994459135415.post-28542255578864021042011-05-06T16:42:32.255-04:002011-05-06T16:42:32.255-04:00Does anyone know how it compares to the AquaSafeSt...Does anyone know how it compares to the AquaSafeStraw-http://www.aquasafestraw.com/products/sureaquastraw.
