I have been using a PUR Scout for the last 5 years in Northern Ontario, and with regular cleaning have yet to be – ah – indisposed. Cheers, Marc

Hey, Marc … as long as you clean yourself regularly, it probably doesn’t matter if you get, ah, indisposed

Do you mean water filter for drinking water? I’m not entirely sure but I’ll drop this link anyways. Nikken PiMag make some awesome water filtration systems. Their water bottles and aparatuses are used world-wide by military and relief organizations. A friend of mine has the water bottle and it’s rather interesting, seems to work well. http://office.5pillars.com/e-nikken/pimag/pimagproducts.htm Not sure if this is what you’re after. — keith* "Always be prepared to think the experts are stupid, they often are." – Jane Jacobs, author.

If you want a full water purifier, choose the First Need by General Ecology.

I use a Pur’s "Hiker". It works great and is compact. Keep the primary foam filter clean and the main filter will last a long, long time. Check out this site for comparisons. http://www.pcta.org/plan/water_test.shtml — Paddle Slowly : the ride is over soon enough.

I remember a long discussion a few years back about this. Seems as though I remember the primary considerations were : 1. bulkiness and weight 2. how long lasting and sturdy are the filters ( and other parts ) 3. how much time does filtering take ( apparently some are very time consuming for a little bit of water ) 4. how difficult is it to work with on the trail 5. a long unresolved discussion on whether filtering should include viruses 6. cost Try a deja search there’s tons of past discussion on this.

I like the PUR Hiker MicroFilter. It’s the best light filter with very good filter life. very easy to pump. I’ve used it in the Adirondacks and just love it. http://www.campmor.com/webapp/commerce/command/ProductDisplay?prmenbr… rfnbr=13597 the replacement cartridges are cheaper then the SweetWater Guardians and last longer. And it pumps better. I’ve used both and wouldn’t buy a SweetWater again. — Hasta Luego #Luke# – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> i’m looking for a water filter that i can use when hiking . i have a > Camelback HAWG that i use, but need a filter for those longer hikes….. > there are so many out there but i don’t have a clue which one’s are good > etc. can someone give me some suggestions? > SweetWater Guardian > lever pump > brushable filter, for longer life > sits on ground > pressure relief system > can freeze without breaking > great bottle adapter > 1.25 liters/min > $50-60 > http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! > —–= Over 100,000 Newsgroups – Unlimited Fast Downloads – 19 Servers

Bill ran into a problem the other day; maybe you could help. A lady came in complaining that she was getting a lot of blue/green in all her appertances. She lives in a town where minimal chlorination takes places and has 2 sediment filters with 2 charcoal filters after. (they just bought the place). In dealing with the case, I mentioned that maybe removing all the filters may help since removing the tds (or most of them) may make the water more corrosive. Nobody in the area is complainin about the same thing… any ideas ? regards-tom c. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->Drinking water filter removes solids, water borne bacteria, i.e., >E.coli, down to 1 micron in size, bacteriostatic.
