I’m thinking the MSR SweetWater, but I’d like to hear what others think. Often the water I use would come from Lake Superior and backcountry streams. Thanks for your help.
Or should I use purifying tablets? Which brands?
First time using Yahoo Answers, so I posted this twice in hopes someone would see it:
What water purifier should I buy? I need to buy a water purifier for use on camping trips (usually 1-2 weeks) in the Canadian Wilderness. The water is never polluted, but sometimes muddy/cloudy. Usually have 2 or 3 other people with me, so need to get about 10 litres a day. I’m looking for something I will have to buy only once, so money is not a consideration: 1.) What brand and model would you suggest? Please include details such as whether chemicals are needed / pros and cons / what kind of filter you’d suggest, etc…. 2.) Are Katadyn and PUR the same brand? Can you still find replacement stuff for PUR filters/purifiers? 3.) Do I need a purifier or just a filter to have safe drinking water in north Candian rivers, lakes where the only pollutants would be the occasional motor boat (such as Algonquin Park)? Thanks….I’m getting desperate for info!!!!
This distiller was made from materials that I had handy. The sheetmetal was folded to make a drain tray and also the main body. Marine or exterior plywood could have been used instead. The glass panel was from an old window (measures 870 x 810mm, but other sizes can be used) After folding the sheetmetal and making the two side panels, all were riveted together with pop rivets and then painted black inside and out to help absorb more heat. The joints were then sealed with silicone sealant, tested for leaks and a drain hose fitted as close to the bottom of the drain tray as possible. A 25mm hole was made in the back panel about halfway up to add tap water (could be saltwater too). The glass panel is added last and sealed with silicone sealant to prevent any water vapour escaping. For South Australian conditions, place the distiller with the glass panel facing North-West. On a warm spring day you can expect between 1 and 5 litres of production, on a summers day more.
The h2olabs Home Water Distillation System produces the purest water available. Bottled water, filtered water and reverse osmosis can’t compare. Susan details the results of water that has been filtered by the top two home water filters and then the filtered water is distilled by the h2olabs Home water distiller. You see the results.
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
