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

Any recommendations for a water filter for South East Asia? I will be traveling to Laos and Thailand for a very extended period of time. I've been looking at the MSR stuff but want to see if their is anything else out there.
Don't understand why you would need a water filter here. Bottle water is everywhere in these countries and very cheap about 7 to 10 baht a bottle.
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!
I am traveling to Costa Rica soon. Normally we stay at a resort so all bottled water is provided for you but this time we are staying at our family residence and want to save money. So we want to bring a brita pitcher with us and was wondering if that is allowed on airplanes.
There should be no problem. But I would put the filter cartridges in the check-in luggage.
I am about to travel to 3rd world countries where water mostly contaminated.
Do you know where i can buy a personal water filter? or something that I can get the water clean immediately before drinking? I don't have enough time to buy online....so Home depot? sears? anyone can give me what you got please?
thanks
Answer(1), Yes, I know bottled water available everywhere, but I have good reasons to look for personal or portable water filter.
Most of the malls have a shop for electrical and appliances.. they do sell water filter please check in SM and Robinson.
