Actually you can do a pretty good job of removing impurities with a
minisart filter.   You screw them on to the end of a 2.5 ml outfit,
you can get three colours of filters, blue is the finest and filters
out anything smaller than 0.02 micrometres.   It is actually small
enough to remove bacteria.   I suppose that in America it would be
a bit of a hassle getting works with a removable pick, but if you can
I'm sure you could get a minisart from a pharmacist.
