Backpacking Water Filters
Read the reviews on Katadyn backpacking water filters and you will be pleased. One example is the Katadyn Guide backpacking water filter it has a 5 star rating. Here is one persons comment,"I bought the Katadyn Guide to supply a crew of 10 at Philmont. It works well and fast. We made 40 quarts in about 20 minutes. Its larger size makes it easier to pump and handle than other, smaller filters."
Water Purification Tablet or Drops
AquaMira employs chlorine dioxide, a substance used by hundreds of city water authorities for water purification-to disinfect water. In an Aquamira bottle cap, mix 7 drops of Aquamira's Part A (the chlorine dioxide) with 7 drops of Part B (the phosphoric acid activator). Wait 5 minutes, then dump the mix into a liter of water. Wait another 15 minutes, or longer if the water is cold, then drink.
As of this writing, McNett is awaiting purification registration from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). But the company says its tests found that Aquamira kills bacteria, some viruses, and, most importantly, protozoans like Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium. That would make Aquamira superior to iodine, which does not kill crypto. Of course, these claims are pending official verification by the EPA.
Specs
An Aquamira kit consisting of two 1-ounce bottles will treat up to 30 gallons of water and has a shelf life of 4 years.
Water Purification Drops
Potable Aqua Tablets are an iodine based tablet that works on all bacteriologically impure water. One bottle contains 50 tablets and will purify 25 to 50 quarts of water depending on source of water.
