Please also tell why you think a particular system is best?

Multi-Pure's RO is very good. Their filters are NSF-certified to remove a wider varieties of contaminants than most brands. It's a little on the high end but you will get what you pay for. Most filters need to be replaced every 3 to 6 months but Multi-Pure filters last up to 12 months.

It's very important that whatever filter brands you buy is NSF-certified.

You can use discount code 421896-disc when you call them or if you order online at http://www.multipureco.com. I think they also have a special promotion now till the end of the month.

Going into Quito, then to the Amazon for 2 weeks. I was wondering if a UV water purifier would be better than the potable aqua tablets? I only want to kill bacteria so I dont get sick, so which is best? Anyone have experience with either?!

Thanks!
So what type of aftertaste to the tablets have?

Oh, and I will be going through the jungle in the Amazon Basin for an ecological thing. The station we are staying at runs off river water, so I will probably be using those tablets a lot.

If you carry at least 2 UV purifiers and are willing to wait to purify the water they work well when it is sunny. (Figure on 6 hours to clean water when sunny.) But it is inconvenient. If you mean a powered UV purifier they work well but are clumsy.
The tablets works faster but leave an unpleasant taste. I dislike the tablets but they are so much more convenient I use them anyway. This is especially true if you are moving around daily and out of easy access to power or batteries.

I'm looking for a water filtration solution that works as well as water distilliation -- a single unit or multiple units that remove *EVERYTHING* from the water.

I have inquired Polar Bear distillers about whether their systems could be used on a whole house and they told me that they could not -- is this true? Couldn't multiple distillers, or distillers linked to larger storage tanks be used together?

What are some of the products out there and how can these products be installed and/or linked together? Can you use a softener, a Reverse-Osmosis and a UV filter all at once, for instance? Are there systems that do all of this without having to "chain" them together?

Please do not let cost considerations inhibit replies -- I would like to know about systems in all price ranges. Thank you!

I put in a Rayne system to do just this. It can be used with a Reverse Osmosis and UV filter at the same time. They are expensive units, but mine came with a lifetime warranty. Glad it did, too, because my pressure regulator blew the tank and even though it was caused by something outside of the unit, they replaced it for free.

I don't understand why it's important to have UV protection for filtered water. Please explain.

UVA and UVB lite at high levels kill microbes that filtering can miss. Sort of like giving the little buggers a deadly sunburn. It wont change the taste the way chlorine will.
