Water Filtration

[fernendo]

Hi my only current means to create safe drinking water is emergency water purification tablets. I'd considering getting a water filter as well. This British Berkefled is only £96.76 what do you guys think?

I don't have one (yet) but believe them to be very good.

Water purification has been discussed many time, have a mooch around...

I have a Berkey, paid a bit more than that for it and all I can say is they are excellent.

I won't drink water out of anything else.

Money well spent if you ask me

Just bought a Lifesaver 4000 bottle, been reading on the net that they are the safest system so far with the smallest filter size for every bacteria and other contaminants , got a good deal off E-Bay:

The main cartridge lasts for 4,000 litres the small one for 250 litres.

If you use the filter at all, keep it filled with water - I used to clean mine out on return then top it up with tap water to store.

I have a couple unused as spare in my shed.

They do have a shelf life, but better than nothing if the brown stuff srtrikes the oscillating blades

How about one of these. Works the same way as kidney dialysis.

I have one. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it'll work.

Filter is 1 million Gallons Guaranteed.

It cheap becuase its only the small traveller size. I'm assuming you brought a larger size? I think I will go for it as event events in cyprus makes me think I should accelerate my prepping and at £96 its cheaper than some Brita filters

you are right i did! but even so that still looks cheap its a good find

I got the 'All in one' kit as a gift for xmas.

Has screw fitting for a standard bottle (2ltr sort). Has rubber fitting for tap. Also has a sports type bottle top for the filtered side.

Flow rate is quite high really.

A million gallons is a damn lot, you could use it to filter all the water you use for the rest of your life, including showering!

I would advise getting one of these. A one off payment for life long water filtration. As long as you clean it properly by back washing it with the supplied syringe.
