I was thinking of purchasing a red ear slider turtle but I have a few questions:

When a turtle is bought, how long is okay for it to go without water? (by travel, etc.)

Also, is it absolutely necessary to keep it in a glass terrarium with a water filter? Or can I make a little terrarium out of a plastic one, making a realistic habitat, and changing the water frequently?

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.

Sarah M asked:

I have a travel Berkey water filtration system. I put the filter away for a few months, and when I got it out again, a rust-colored, mildew-appearing substance had grown on the outside of the black filtration elements. What do I have to do to make them usable again, or should I buy new ones?

brod515 asked:

Would that work, if i had enough water in the ice chest to completely cover the sucking part of the filter. It would be one of those external power filters. I would just hang it off the side of the ice chest.
i think i might line the sides of the ice chests with ziploc bags filled with water and little bit of air for cushion, and weights inside the bags to keep em sunk
just a 48 quart ice chest

Any and all information or ideas, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

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.

I will be traveling to Namibia and I’m looking for a portable water filter. I am clueless on what to look for in buying one.

Thanks

Answer(1), Yes, I know bottled water available everywhere, but I have good reasons to look for personal or portable water filter.

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.

ponygt302 asked:

I do normal body work out of my 2 car garage. I use tools such as a 6″ D/A Sander, Inline Board Sander, 1/2″ Drive Impact Wrench, Sand Blaster, DeVilbiss HVLP Spray Gun, and a Media Spot Blaster. I currently have a Campbell Hausfeild 60 Gallon Compressor, and have terrible problems with water in my lines. I have a water trap that does absolutely nothing. I am now getting a spare 10 gallon tank for the air/water to travel to first, then am going to get either one of those Toilet Paper water filters, or am looking at a DeVilbiss Desiccant Filter/Compressed Air Dryer. Any opinions on which would work best? The TP Filter is about 80 bucks, and the air dryer will be about 250. Which is better or are there any first hand users?
I will be moving my 2nd tank away from the compressor/tank when I get one. Along with the filter or dryer. I just need to know which one to get.
And I currently drain the water from the main tank about every 30 minutes of use.
