I'm looking for something that really works well. A purifier, not just a filter. Something .2 micron (or smaller) and with a built-in way to automatically chemically treat the water (iodine/chlorine etc). There are several on the market and I'm looking for other peoples experiences and opinions. Something that could be used full time for weeks at a time on long trips where your only water source is creeks and lakes and in countries with questionable tap water.

ive been on camping for weeks and overseas and never had one.when camping only drink ru8nning water.when overseas always boil or buy bottled water.save some space in ya backpack to

Filter's silver-impregnated ceramic element is effective against bacteria and protozoa
Round pump handle for easy pumping; outlet hose attaches to containers with clip
Pocket water filter designed four outdoor enthusiasts and international travelers

I am frequent traveller and love to travel by road to remote places. Some time I face problems in procuring clean drinking water in such areas. Bottled water is either not available or is of some unknown brand that you cannot trust. I therefore need some device which can deliver appx 10 bottles of drinking water a day using electricity or car battery. System should be light weight, small in size and easily portable.

I will recommend that you visit the following sites for assistance:

This one on Amazon is really nice:

It's even listed as "California state approved laboratories certified to test under the strictest EPA, ANSI & NSF standard methods and protocol" giving the filter more credibility.


Good luck!

A simple turn engages a ceramic pre-filter for long life in dirty water or a pleated glass fiber filter in normal conditions

If you only bought one, would you buy one of the actual portable water filters or one of the water bottles that filters? They both claim to get 100 gallons? I'm thinking the water bottle would be more convenient, but does anyone have experience with either?

I've used several types of both styles. They each have advantages and disadvantages.

The in-the-bottle styles do save room in your pack but you also don't get a full quart of water either. For day trips, they are not a bad way to go as you can fill them with water before you leave and if you run out, you can find water from a stream and resupply.

For trips longer than a day, a seperate water pump is the way to go. This is what I use. I find it much easier to pump all of my water at camp, fill up 2-3 quart bottles for the trail and just go on my merry way. You could use the bottle filiter to do this as well, but the seperate pump is much quicker.

Additionally, the seperate pumps often have a hose that allows you to suck water out of a very shallow stream. Sometimes your only source of water may be too shallow to fill your entire bottle. Likewise, then your bottle comes in contact with the stream. While the water inside may be clean, microbes from the outside could contaminate the water once it comes out. So if you do use a bottle-filter make sure the outside is clean too.

I also like the seperate pump because it's easier to use with multi-person trips and once at camp, I can fill up a collapsable water bag (1 gallon) and then I have enough water to cook and some left over too.

Both do the job well enough. I've never got sick from either style. It just really boils down to what is going to suit your needs the best.

Also...take some sort of chemical purification means. (Iodine, Chlorine, etc.) as pumps can fail or get clogged. (I've had this happen as well.)

This is for a high school class, and if you have a problem with any aspects of portable water filters (katadyne, pur, etc.) we would like to know what it is. Some examples are how hard it is to pump, taste of water, cost of filter, weight of filter, difficulty of maintenence, and anything else you can think of.

Maybe you should re-post over here:
