Halides will only do the same as boiling (ie kill biologicals) but nothing against chemical contaminants - filters can remove chemicals but not biologicals.
Personally I'd filter the water and boil immediately before use unless there's some new gizmo that does chemical/bilogical decon in a single action.......

what he says. Depends where you are getting your water from though - a 'fresh' mountain stream shouldnt be a great problem for anything chemical.
