water purifier advice?

[Spikey DaPikey]

I understood that the Aquagear and SurvivaPure used impregnated iodine in their filters to affect virus killing, whereas the Lifesaver uses a very small mesh size to remove viruses.

You can get the Aquagear/SurvivaPure filters with or without iodine Lurch.

You need to decide wether you want a filter or a purifier. A filter will remove all the bugs,depending which size mesh you have,whereas a purifier will remove pesticides.I'm not sure if any will remove heavy metals though.

The Surviva-pure is meant to remove trace metals.

Yes, first two kill with iodine, and the later filters them out.

They all also use an activated carbon filter to remove other nasties.

If you are forgetting to take water, you'd forget to take a water purifying tool! Water that's flowed through farmland, I'd be certain I took my own water to be honest.

That's really good advice. It may not be the most exciting, but it's the best for this situation IMHO.

Then presumably they don't kill viruses?

Dunno mate, just going by what i know......... Guess if people are really intrested, they can google for the website, and email them direct.

The Surviva Pure website is abit inadequate.

Not even a mention of iodine, just activated carbon.
