Water Purifier
1 Product found
You won't want (or be able to) carry all of your water on a long hike. To ensure that the water you collect along the trip is safe to drink, you'll need a hiking water purifier. Even clear water has the potential to carry a virus or bacteria that can make you sick. Water can be filtered in a variety of ways. Boiling water kills practically all bacteria quickly and easily. However, it does require the use of instruments such as a stove, gas, ignition, and a pot, which is a lot of equipment only for filtering. You'll need a stove and fuel anyway if you're going on a multi-day hike (but you'll need extra fuel for cooking and purification). It's fine for camping, but not for lengthy hikes where you want to bring as little gear as possible.
Water can be filtered and hazardous bacteria killed using silver ions and chlorine. They're small and simple to use, but they can take up to 30 minutes to get up and running. Wait 30 minutes before consuming water prepared by a hiking water purifier (to be sure the bacteria is all gone). When drinking the water, you may detect a tiny chlorine taste. Because sediment isn't removed, you'll need to filter leaves and dirt separately. Another hiking water purfier is simply the use of water purification pills to filter your water (available in light packs). Fill your bottle with one and it will take care of the rest.
