If you don't want the bother of getting a water filter, what about steritabs? They are extremely light, and you can carry them in one of the tiny pockets on your rucksack belt, which I also use for lip salve and a tiny hand gel bottle. We have never been poisoned using them and use them a lot in lowland areas. They do, however, taste a bit of chlorine, but who cares when you are really thirsty. Also used them on the ridge between the 2 main Fisherfield Corbetts on a day that was so hot we had drunk everything by the time we got to the first summit, and I saw tadpoles in the lochan we used which was deceptively blue.
