Best choice for reliable, clean water.

Ranked #654 - Water Filters
December 20, 2004
Filtering water in the backcountry is expensive and heavy, but it can reclaim and purify water in almost any environment. Why choose this filter? This filter is very efficient, field maintainable, and protects from all concerns of bacteria. Compared to the Miniworks, if the main filter is not properly cared for, bacteria can grow in the fiter contaminating all fitered water. As a backup fiter, the PES Membrane will assure that all contamination is removed. The safest bet when traveling or going to areas where any water source may be vital. NOTE: Viruses will still remain after filtering - use iodine to kill the viruses and the taste will be removed by the carbon core in the main filter.
