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.

Are portable water bottle filters convenient?

Portable Water Filters
Espe asked:

I’ve seen multiple portable water bottle brands that come with an insertable water filter. However, I know that with my water pitcher filter at home, it takes a little bit of time for the water to drip down and filter. Is this the case with these portable bottles as well?

Also, none of these brands state which type of filter they sell/use. Does anyone know which manufacturer sells purified, ceramic, or reverse osmosis filters?

Thanks!

Jesus Hippie asked:

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.

Even if your local municipal water supply is considered "drinkable", it's a good idea to use water filters as it will further purify the drinking water not to mention making it taste better.
