Although you might want to stick with something more dedicated for that task like:

Because the sawyer will have less throughput and slightly less efficacy (note that the sawyer mini is still about 10x better than the life straw and filters much more water while only being a few bucks more or the same price if bought in bulk. I bought 4 minis for $65 shipped).
I have the Sawyer Gravity Water Filter - 4 liter anti-viral as well as anti-microbial one. Takes longer because it's both viral and bacterial but it is the SHIT. There are reviews out there of people out there that live in Africa and use it and they say it's completely fine. They have the JUST bacterial one that works in like 2 minutes.
You're kit includes excessive water and that is heavy. It also doesn't have a means to filter more water than what you bring. Why not instead bring 4 lifestraws or a 2 bag nanofilter system or sawyer mylar filter?
I've spent 2+ months outside on a trail carrying up to 4L of water at a time, and hiked over 2000 miles in the mountains and plains on both coasts. You don't need to carry more than that (1 gal) unless you are in the desert or an arid place and walking over 12mi with no water. Water is everywhere, you just need to have technology to filter it properly. The things I linked to above are ultralight and allow you to store up and move quickly. But keep in mind the best place to store water however is inside your own body (cameling up).
