I've seen a lot of posts here asking about making water safe to drink and about water filters. In an effort to not highjack or overwhelm the threads here are some links to information I have. I hope this helps some of you.

This site here has good information on purifying water. It discusses bleach, boiling, and other methods:

Here is a link to making a solar water pasteurizer:

Also for those looking for a good water filter or system, the Berkey system seems to be the most favored. This site has the best price I've found for this system:

If you want to save some money on a water filtration system, you can make your own Berkey style system. Here are some links with information on doing this:

And I also found this page that gives similar suggestions:

I bought my Big Berky Crown from Frugal's back when I was a moderator there. And yes, it was the best price I could find.

Been using mine for about 6 years now and I love it.
