For the Katadyn Micropur, it Destroys viruses and bacteria in 15 minutes, Giardia in 30 minutes and Cryptosporidia in four hours. So basically, my wife and I would have to wait 4 HOURS to drink the water to make sure that the Cryptosporidia is killed? To me, this sounds like an awefully long time to wait to drink water?

For the protozoa...Katadyn is probably your best bet. Protozoa are resistant to iodine and chlorine (which do a fairly good job of killing bacteria and viruses). Boiling the water is the best way to care of Protozoa, followed by filtration. But if all you have is tablets then Katadyn it is. And I think the 4 hr wait time is for cold, dirty water. While warm, clear water is 30 minutes.
