Water Purification
18 Products found
On a lengthy hike, you won't want (or be able to) carry all of your water. A hiking water purifier will ensure that the water you collect along the way is safe to drink. Even clear water could contain a virus or bacteria that could make you sick. Water can be filtered in a number of different ways. Water that has been brought to a boil destroys almost all bacteria quickly and easily. It does, however, necessitate the use of hiking gear such as a stove, gas, ignition, and a pot, which is a significant amount of equipment just for filtering. If you're going on a multi-day hike, you'll need a stove and fuel regardless (though you'll need extra fuel for cooking and purification). It's excellent for camping, but not for long excursions where you want to bring the bare minimum of gear.
Silver ions and chlorine can be used to filter water and eliminate harmful germs. They're compact and easy to use, but getting them up and running can take up to 30 minutes. Wait 30 minutes before drinking water that has been purified using a hiking water purifier (to be sure the bacteria is all gone). A slight chlorine flavour may be detected when drinking the water. You'll need to filter leaves and dirt separately because sediment isn't eliminated. Another way to filter your water while hiking is to use water purification pills (available in light packs). Fill your bottle with one and the rest will be taken care of.
