 THE BEST PORTABLE WATER FILTER OPTION I HAVE FOUND THROUGH A DECENT AMOUNT OF TESTING ARE GRAYL BOTTLES.

PORTABLE. EASY TO USE. VERY EFFECTIVE.

 I've used lifesaver brand jerrycans everyday for the last 4 years. HEAVY TESTING. 


I build & live off-grid.

 Muy util 
 Do you like hiking and camping? 
 Been looking for a reliable one, thanks for the suggestion. 
 I ONLY DRINK HOME BREWED DISTILLED WATER. NUMBER ONE LIFE HACK. 
 Hey Foodies:

 Does it remove all rubbish. Like, if I put tap water in it, would it remove fluoride?

 Used this in the Philippines and it was fantastic 🤙  
 Is that your all day every day drinking container? 
 AT HOME WE FILTER THE WHOLE HOUSE.

ON THE GO I USE THESE. 
 What filter system do you use.  I’ve been shopping around and can’t find good sources of information that aren’t advertisements. 
 I have nsf 42 whole house filtering and drinking water and ice are both filtered to nsf 53 as of this morning.

We drink out of stainless double wall bottles all day every day and fill before leaving and take them with us for normal day to day time away from home.

When camping, we use a lifestraw dispenser. That is in a trailer, so the larger filter isn't an issue.

Lifestraw straws stashed in each vehicle, house, camper, and rucksack for emergencies.

Grayl looks cool but I don't regularly spend any time in a situation where I'm not covered by those other solutions. 
 Oh. I get it, Grayl. Like Holy grail. 
 Can confirm. I'm obsessed with mu Grayl bottles.

 Nice thank you very much. Was looking for something like that. For your house, do you use a filter a well? Could you share the one you use 🙏.

 Water

I recently went down this rabbit hole and did a bunch of research as well.  I came to the same conclusion and have been using my Grayl for about a month.

I see a couple replies here about what to use at home.  I concluded that a reverse osmosis (RO) system is the best to use at home.  It’s critical to re-mineralize the water after RO as well.  There’s a “budget” option ($250-$400) and an expensive, comprehensive ($3000-$4000) solution.  I’ve heard a lot of positive reviews about APEC as a brand, and they sell both of these options.

 I had it check out and the 2 inconveniences i found were that it is quite bulky and the filter needs to be changed more often that what its competitors often.
I went with a Katadyn BeFree and saved myself and the planet about 300 water bottles already so far.
Another great lightweight  alrernative for traveling/hiking is the Sawyer Squeeze 💧 
 I'm a lifestraw person. Cheap and easy. Add a reservoir bag and you're good to go for multiple people 
 💜 
 Use it as well, is great, only draw back is, wife thinks they are heavy to compress. Guess there is no good solution to that problem... You sort of need it. 
 and drip coffee in forest? 
 That's nice if you can. Most can't. I can but then distill it.
