Ok, so I've been doing some thinking. I've got basic sediment filtration and biological filtration and treatment covered (Doulton ceramic elements in a British Berkefeld urn plus, as belt-and-suspenders, Polar Pure and a method of chlorination). What I DON'T have, though, is a method for...

Did some testing of this multi-configuration filter. Thought I would share. I plan on taking it out on more trips. I like that you can use it as a straw, in a bottle, in-line with a water bladder and also has a faucet adapter. Anyone else test the sawyer filters? Searched the forum and...

After some time here - reading, watching society - I came to understand that my simple stash of bottled water was sticking my head in the sand, so to speak. So I did the do - filtration, it ain't hard. I went with the carbon Super Sterasyl - bought 10 total - that gives me over 5 thousand...

No Berkey because I am in Kalifornia and they won't allow it in the state due to government regulations:mad: I have hundreds of gallons of rainwater stored in food grade containers and would like to have a filter system that I can use in case I need to make this water drinkable. Thoughts...

LifeStraw Water Filters Lifestraw personal water filters, anyone here have access to these? They're made in Denmark and handed out for free in Africa. Drink water out of puddles in third world countries with it. I contacted them a while back and was told they are not available in the US. Maybe...
