I've been looking through some water filters around the net, and among the post scattered around this forum too. (How i wish there were a sticky listing survival products and where to get them!)
If our utilities went down, and i had to provide water for me and my two kids, i would imagine....and please correct me if i'm wrong here.....i'd be wanting one of the larger capacity treatment units. By that i mean not just a survival water straw, but rather the pump types that can supply thousands of litres of water.
I know they are not cheap, but then again no-one can do without water so it's a no brainer really.
Has anyone any recomendations? Are there any that you have used and they have been rubbish?
Thanks in advance.
CX.

What about the water straw? cheap but is it effective?

Thanks for the reply. My thought was that it fits right over your kitchen tap and is good for 50k? not good for the whole family?

search for "solar distillers". Nothing is better than the distilled water.

Boiling water or using bleach to purify it also works, so don't get too hung up on a filter which will eventually fail or become dirty beyond cleaning.

Not true. Distilled water can make you unhealthy, it can leech minerals from your body. Same with rain water. You do not want to drink either for any extended amount of time.
