pure easy water filter

[monkey boy]

has anyone got or used the pure easy solider water filter, if so are they worth the money?

 

[monkey boy]

does anyone know about these

I'm not familiar with them myself, but I'd personally stick to the tried and tested. The fact that nobody has been forthcoming with a review or comment indicates that they've probably not been on the market long enough to gain any reviews?

I did stumble across this though:

Hope this helps, good luck with your search

thank you silverhill that was really helpful, i think i am gonna invest in a better filter,

I'm in a similar boat monkeyboy. I did have a Premac PWP, but it left too much of a chemical taste behind. I then switched to a Drinksafe Supalite, but that needs a full bag of water and optimum conditions to work well (plus I'm a bit impatient to be honest-my shortfall and not the filter's!). I'm looking at a Katadyn at present, but some have mixed reviews.

its a hard one isnt mate, there is a system that ray mears was using that i really like he had clorine tabs a pump and boiling, it looked like a small light system that would last for ever, I wander what pump he was using? 

Not heard of this particular brand, but I personally don't trust pumps. I'm sure many of then are great, and it's just a personal thing, but I prefer my outdoor kit to hve as few moving parts as possible! lol

I use one of these and absolutely swear by it. I've taken water from all kinds of sources and drunk it straight from the bottle. No chlorine taste (it actually filters that out too) and filters as quick as you can drink it. Brilliant bits of kit

It depends on what your hoping/thinking your water 'filter' is going to do, waters filter can be used at home!! to give your tap water a 'softer' feel, but if you're thinking they're going to filter out bugs/germs they won't/don't.
Depending on where you getting your drinking water supply from use either puritabs or iodine tablets.

Some filters *do* filter out bacteria.
