Bota of Boulder Outback Bottle Filter - This is a filter bottle that is great for wilderness hikers.  It can remove many common bacteria from water and therefore is excellent for filling up at the nearest stream.

Bottom's Up - The filter in these bottles is in the bottom of the bottom as opposed to being part of the lid like many others.  The reason for this is that the filter will stay protected within the bottle and won't be exposed to air contaminants.

Clear Brook Portable Water Filter Bottle - This is a great 22oz bottle that has a Lexan cover that will resist cracks and leaks.  Excellent for anybody on the go.

Exstream - Excellent high quality filters that come in three different models and sizes.

Innova Water Filter Bottle - This bottle comes in two sizes, either 16 oz or 27 oz and has a two-stage filter that cleans the water as your squeeze.

Pres2Pure Canteen - These canteens are a bit of an odd shape and can be difficult to carry in a standard water bottle holder or pack.  However they come with colloidal silver filters that allow for a natural filtration and work great.

If you are looking for a more extensive portable water filter that will be effective in eliminating water borne diseases such as cholera and typhoid, an excellent choice would be the Portable Gravity Water Filters with Doulton ceramic filtration elements.  These units are intended to be used in any situation where safe drinking water is not available. They are used by many major aid and emergency relief organizations around the world.

The fact is that it is necessary to filter our water before we drink it in order to avoid contamination and ill health effects.  If we are in a situation where clean water is unavailable then we better be sure to have a portable water filter.  Do a little shop and comparison online and be sure to get one that is beneficial for what you need.  There are many excellent units on the market like the ones listed above.  Be sure to get one that is going to fit your needs.

Imagine you are hiking through some of the lushest and most beautiful virgin forests in the middle of nowhere. The air is fresh and everything feels so pristine and perfect. You are thirsty and a small stream with clear fresh water is running in front of you. Naturally you feel the need to drink from that water source; however doing so will be ill advised. Most people think that just because water is from a natural source, is clear and tastes "natural" that means that drinking it will be fine. This is a terrible mistake and would expose you to unnecessary risk. Don't drink untreated water in the wilderness!

For most people, getting a drink of water is just a matter of walking a few feet, turning on the faucet and drinking up. However in the camping or hiking scenario the normally simple task becomes a bit more laborious. Usually the safest option when you are out in the wilderness is to simply bring your own treated water. However, if you are going for an overnight hike or camp-out this simply won't be an option as you can't bring the amount required, the only option will be to treat water that you can source from the hiking or trekking area.
Potential Contaminants

Water taken from natural sources such as lakes, river, streams and ponds may look clean and have no undesirable odor or taste. However pathogens found in water are not only harmful, but are also invisible to the naked eye and may be odorless or tasteless. The pathogens in question are bacteria, viruses and protozoa which can cause mild nausea and fever or can develop into more serious illnesses such as severe diarrhea, hepatitis or typhoid fever. Water from lakes, rivers, streams and ponds should always be disinfected and treated before being used of cooking or drinking.
These pathogens may seem out of place in such pristine environments but rotting or fecal matter in the water harbors these pathogens. This means that there is a chance that some animal has either died or excreted body wastes in the natural water source or there could be some contaminated water run-off from a source upstream which would render the water source unknowingly unusable.
Besides pathogens, sediments from mud, soil or sand may also render natural sources of water unusable. The general practice before the advent of portable water filters is to collect the water and let it sit in a bowl of some sort to let the sediments collect at the bottom then pour the remaining water on the top to another receptacle for consumption. This can normally be a very time consuming process and in emergency situation might not be very practical, especially since the water still isn't fit for consumption, pathogens as discussed earlier may still reside in the water and thus still has to be treated before consumption.
On a more alarming note, the U.S Geological Survey reports that in North American wilderness waters, there are trace amounts of organic chemicals, pesticides, solvents, gasoline compounds, refrigerant and fumigants in the supposedly pristine wilderness waters. The good news is that the levels of chemical concentrations are very low but is an early warning that human activity is having an effect on regional surface-water quality even in remote areas.
Water Treatment Devices for Campers/Hikers

Water treatment devices can generally be divided into two groups following their functions. The first group are water treatment devices to improve the overall taste, smell and appearance of water or to remove undesirable chemicals or minerals, these types of water filters are not as essential to the camper/hiker thus we will not discuss them there. The next group is water treatment devices designed to disinfect water which we will discuss here since the biggest risk for hikers or campers is ingesting water with active pathogens which will cause illness.
Chlorinators, Iodinators and Ultraviolet Light (UV)

These are generally the most practical mean to disinfect larger volumes of water that might be needed for drinking purposes of a large camp site. Chlorine and iodine kills most disease-causing organisms and require short to moderate contact times with the water before taking effect. Chlorine is used widely in municipally treated water and has virtually eliminated waterborne infectious diseases such as typhoid and cholera in urban areas.
However, chlorine and iodine treatment alone will not eliminate all pathogens, protozoa such as Giardia Lamblia and Cryptosporidium Parvum will not be killed with just chlorination. If protozoa are present or suspected, then it is recommended that the water be passed through a water filter with a 0.1 micro-meters or smaller pore size to remove these harmful parasites then treated with chlorine or iodine before consumption.
Iodine is another alternative to disinfecting water, however should be reserved for occasional or emergency use only. Iodine should not be used as a long term solution for disinfection because iodine is physiologically active thus ingesting large amounts over a long period can also be harmful.
Both chlorine and iodine are effective at killing pathogens however research has indicated that long term chlorine usage is dangerous and can be linked to cancer and also brain damage, it is thus advised that these treatment agents be used as a last resort where other water treatment options have been exhausted.
Ultra-violet devices are also effective against bacteria, viruses and protozoa. You don't have to add anything to the water thus the treated water has no taste or odor, additionally only a few seconds of expose is necessary if the water is clear. This system however is rather expensive compared to the other types of water filters and also doesn't guarantee the quality of the water beyond the point of use. Basically, once you apply the UV light, you should drink it immediately, it isn't a long-term solution where you can store the water in a receptacle for future consumption.
Ceramic or Glass Fiber Filters

These types of filters normally come in a canister form for use in camping or hiking situations. They treat smaller amounts of water, suitable for camping with few people or when the water needs aren't very high. These types of filters can remove most bacteria and protozoa from mildly contaminated water and are normally sufficient for the average camper/hiker's needs. When presented with heavily contaminated waters, it is recommended that these filters be used in conjunction with the above mentioned chlorinators, iodinators and ultraviolet lights to get a broad spectrum of disinfection and treatment.
There are also portable glass fiber/ceramic filters with iodine-releasing resins designed specifically for campers or travelers to countries where drinking water quality is questionable. Some of these iodine-releasing portable filters also have activated carbon filters to remove excess iodine from the water.
Generally, these types of filters are the most practical when it comes to hiking or camping because of their easy of use and portability. If the camper of hiker is looking to clean the natural water that isn't overly contaminated, using these types of filters is recommended above the rest of the treatment options.
Distillers and Ozonators

These are point-of-use devices that are suitable where electric power isn't available such as during a hiking or camping trip. The distillation water filters are effective for the removal of inorganic chemicals including heavy metals and selected organic chemicals. They are often combined with activated carbon for the removal of certain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) such as trihalomethanes and tetrachloroethylene. It should be noted that distilled water is demineralized, there have been quarters that say drinking demineralized water for extended periods will cause illness however there has been no research to prove or disprove this theory.
Ozonators produce small quantities of ozone which is a very strong oxidizing agent that is effective in killing pathogens over a short period of time. Ozonation produces no taste or odor in the water. Unlike chlorine and iodine, ozone does not protect water after the application (however is safer based on research) and is normally combined with activated carbon filtration to achieve a more complete water treatment solution.
These type of filters are normally used in conjunction with ceramic or glass fiber filters when a much broader spectrum of contaminants is present in the water. Generally these types of filters are bulkier, take longer to filter and should only be used where water is known to be contaminated with these toxic chemicals. Under normal circumstances, such a high level of filtrations isn't necessary.
To conclude, the main objective of campers when it comes to their water needs is to ensure that water consumed is free from harmful pathogens, chemicals and toxins so that they don't get ill on their trip. As such, water filters which provide the most balanced filtration needs for the camper/hiker would be ceramic or glass fiber water filters, again assuming that the water isn't overly contaminated.

There is a lot of hype and doubtful claims about water filters in the media. It's hard for the average consumer to understand the different methods and types of water filtration systems without buying into all the sales talk. Water filtration or treatment in itself is a quite a large topic with many methods and technologies involved. Most household water filters/treatment systems are designed to remove various contaminants such as chlorine, lead, mercury, Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs), Total Dissolved Solids (TDSs), Cryptosporidium, Chloramines, pesticides, herbicides, Giardia and other bad smell or taste elements.

Most water filters work on the same general process. Water is passed through a filtration agent (physical, chemical or ultra-violet) where contaminants are either removed or neutralized. The treated water is then either dispensed out of the system or is stored in a storage tank for future use. Generally, most water filters are fairly simple and inexpensive items that aren't very different from one manufacturer to the next. Below is a list of features and functions which you should consider before buying a water filtration system.
1). Filtering Technology

The first and most common sort of filter uses a physical barrier to remove suspended particles such as mud, silt, sand or rust as well as micro-organisms such as Giardia or Cryptosporidium. Physical filters are measured by microns. The finer the filter the smaller the micron number and the more types of particles can be removed from the raw water.
Another type of filter uses chemical processes to remove or neutralize potentially harmful contaminants in raw water. Depending on the type of contaminant, the filter elements can comprise of activated charcoal, copper, zinc etc.
The newest form of filtration technology is to use ultra-violet light to destroy bacteria, viruses or pathogens in water. The ultra-violet light is typically encased in a tank where-by the water is treated either when in storage or is run through a ultra-violet canister. The ultra-violet light deactivated the DNA of the organic particulates which ruin their ability to reproduce and cause disease.
Typically, a water filtration system will contain more than one type of filter because each filter has its own specific strengths and together enable a much wider spectrum of filtration.
2). System Types

There are a few basic types of water filters that range from small portable units to units that can supply an entire house or office. Here are the more common types:
Counter-top: These types of filters are placed on top as of the counter as suggested by the name and is connected to the faucet. The system normally has limited capacity while the filtered water is only available at the faucet.
Under-counter: These systems are very similar to the counter-top systems in that they have smaller capacities and only provide treated water to one faucet. The difference is that these systems don't take up valuable counter space however would require more sophisticated plumbing which makes it slightly more expensive.
Faucet Mounted: These systems are the cheapest and easies to install however offer the least amount of filtration. The system is mounted on the faucet itself and offers treated water to that faucet alone.
Whole House: These water filter systems are typically the most comprehensive and costly filter types that will be needed for a house or office. These systems attach to the pipe mains before entering the house/office which means that they will supply treated water to the entire house/office. These water filters are generally quite expensive to buy and maintain however all water in the house is treated.
Water Softeners: These types of water filters are used specifically to remove only some types of contaminants, namely unwanted elements such as calcium, magnesium, lime, and iron from a household's water supply. These elements make water taste metallic and salty.
Dispensers/Pitcher Water Filter: These systems are normally very simple filter assemblies that are built into a Pitcher/Dispenser. Again, this type of filter is very simple and cheap however doesn't filter contaminants all that well compared to the more comprehensive examples.
Portable: These water filters are made to be portable, some are designed for camping and light travel while some are built into sports drink bottles. Interestingly, an ultra-violet light pen is available which should act as a microbe de-activator similar to more complex household systems as mentioned earlier.
3). Capacity

There are generally two measurements for water filters that use "capacity". Capacity can be used as a measure to determine how much water the filter can actually treat before it needs filter replacements.
On the other hand, capacity is also a measure of the storage tank if the water treatment system is built with a storage tank. This goes hand-in-hand with the flow rate. This measurement is normally in gallons per minute. It should be noted that for counter-top or under-sink applications, flow rate isn't that important as waiting a few seconds longer to fill a glass of water won't be much of an issue. However, flow-rate is very important for Whole House systems, you won't want to be stuck in the shower with no water.
It should be noted that capacity and flow rates are directly related to how expensive the system will be.
4). Costs

When choosing to buy a water filter, you must also consider the maintenance and running costs of the filter. Generally the more complex and higher capacity systems will cost more to maintain and also more to run. Depending on the amount of water treated, water filter systems will need their filters replaced or treated every so often.
Additionally, some complex filters like Reverse Osmosis water filters will only produce 1 gallon of water for every 4 gallons of water supplied which will mean an increase in your water bills too. Further to this, ultra-violet light systems will also require a power source which will also affect your electricity bills.
In conclusion, I hope I have shed some light on buying water filters. The list of points in this article are by no means exhaustive but should serve as a rough guide in the selection process.

Good health is important for both physical and emotional well being. Being healthy means that your body and mind function as they are supposed to. In fact good health is necessary for longevity.

The benefits of whole house water filters are immense. By filtering all of the water that enters your home, you not only enhance the healthfulness of your household water but you also dramatically improve your indoor air quality. And if you look into one of the reports of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it says, “Every home in America has an elevated level of chloroform gas present due to the vaporization of chlorine from tap and shower water.” Chlorine vapors are thought to be one of the causes of respiratory problems such as asthma, bronchitis and allergies. If filtered water is consumed regularly, it will surely improve every aspect of your family’s health.

The whole house water filters removes chlorine and other chemical tastes/odor plus dirt/sediments making water cleaner, clearer and safer for your whole house. This filter has even the ability to remove chlorine from the water used in dish water; in the process it prevents chlorine vapors from being released into the air and reduces soap scum on dishes. In addition, it also protects your appliances, fixtures and pipelines. These premium whole house inline filters are usually placed in the main water line entering the home and generally have capacities to filter 10,000 - 100,000 gallons of water before you have to change the cartridge.

To sum up, it can be said with confidence that whole house water filter is the only true effective filter. It filters water at even low temperatures to facilitate the removal of chlorine and other chemicals. Enjoy every minute of your life with whole house water filters!

Ionizer Electrolysis

can i use any type of metal for electrolysis?

hi

The only types of metals that work as electrodes are those which are good conductors of electricity:
Silver
Copper
Titanium
Aluminium
These are the most commonly used metals and obviously copper and aluminium would be the most affordable ones.

However there is a matherial that conducts withought being a metal.
Carbon
Therefore a very affordable electorde which will work very well is a lump of graphite or charcoal. **But with graphite dont over-do the voltage because it can break down and make the solution turn black which isnt very usedful.

Pump Reverse Osmosis

Reverse Osmosis Filter?

I received a bought a new fish tank and was wondering what would happen if i were to attach a reverse osmosis filter directly to the tank?

Neither fish nor plants would do well in pure RO water. They need some mineral content in the water. The usual practice for soft-water-loving animals or plants is to use mostly RO water mixed with a little tap water, or all RO water with a "remineralization" supplement added. (If you're using the RO water to make artificial sea water, the marine salt mix will contain mineral supplements).

Another problem is that RO units for home use are designed for an output (typically) of anywhere from 25 to 200 or so gallons per day. A typical aquarium filter for a home-sized tank should pump something between 100 and 1000 gallons per hour (depending on the size of the tank it's designed for). So the RO filter by itself wouldn't be giving you enough throughput.

Also, since RO filters generally create more "waste" water than "pure" water, your tank would soon be almost empty if only the "pure" water went back in the tank. You would have to make up the lost water from somewhere.

So, while an RO filter is a great thing to have (I wish I had one right now), it's not practical as the main filtration for your tank. It's better to use it for partial water changes, removing maybe 30% to 50% of your water each time, and replacing it with water you've collected from the RO unit.

Can You Believe These Disadvantages of Reverse Osmosis?

As you probably know, reverse osmosis is the method most commonly used to treat household drinking water. What this means is the elements in water that exist naturally, such as anything that causes an unpleasant odor or taste are reduced. It is also used to treat water that may have contaminants that would make it unsuitable for drinking.

How the process works

Reverse osmosis is also called ultra filtration because it moves water through a membrane. The membrane has very small openings that cannot be seen without the aid of a microscope. The water passes through these openings and large items cannot. Sometimes these systems use an electric shock that helps to keep chemicals from coming through.

This is called rejecting the contaminant. When the rejection rates are not set high enough, they may allow some elements to pass through that are not desirable. The rates need to be high enough to reduce toxins or undesired elements to a safe level. There is not always only one contaminant. Sometimes there may be several. All rates have to be reduced.

Does reverse osmosis make water safe to drink?

Reverse osmosis is used because it has been proven to work on both a commercial level and a residential one. One such method can remove salt from seawater. The household variety of reverse osmosis systems put out anywhere from 2 to 10 gallons of treated water a day. If the correct installation is used, these systems can remove many undesirable elements from drinking water, thus reducing the need to buy water, especially for drinking.

Do not buy a unit to treat your water until after it is tested and you are aware of what type of treatment you need. Different systems treat water for different contaminants and you need to find the right one for your water needs.

What Are the Disadvantages of This System?

When you use reverse osmosis for treating your water, it will only treat anywhere from 5% to 15% of the waster it takes in to the system. The remaining water is expelled as wastewater. When it comes to reverse osmosis for home use, they do an excellent job. However, business units require a completely different approach.

The household model rejects the water that contains waste. When this is discarded, it usually goes out through the household drains. It can put a strain on a septic tank because they normally put out 40 to 90 gallons of wastewater a day. This system wastes a lot more water than it puts back.

If you use well water, it can cause the pump to run constantly, thereby running your power bill up to astronomical rates. This also will cause a very high water bill if you do not have a well and depend on city or town supplied water.

Reverse osmosis can be beneficial to remove contaminants from your water and make it safer to drink. However, this process also has drawbacks. Investigative work should be done on the type of system you need before purchasing one.
