There are five basic methods to address water safety problems: bottled water, boiling, distilling, and filtering.
For many travelers, the best option is a personal water filter, which filters water without the delay of distillation, or the thirty-minutes required with iodine or chlorine tablets alone. Not to mention portable water filters are the least expensive and most convenient way to insure safe drinking water.
There are many different types of personal water filters, but the easiest is the filtered water bottle. A filtered water bottle can be filled out up anywhere and as you drink it filters the water. The other types of personal filters are often too complex and time consuming to use quickly. Filtered water bottles are the most effective and economical way to go!
