Ron,
You made an excellent point early last month, that many who are storing water may have not considered ....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What happens if that 100 gallons runs out and the potable water is still not yet available??"
"I'm hearing FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE discussing storing garages full of 55 gallon water containers and few discussing the need for a basic water filter."
"Unless you happen to live in the S. Western desert, water is not usually difficult to find. But finding water that is safe to drink 'IS'."
"And if you have to move someplace in a hurry, that water is not very transportable. But that Katadyn [water filter] expedition is."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOR ANYONE CONSIDERING WATER FILTERS IN ADDITION TO STORING WATER ... CHECK OUT THESE LINKS ....
Berkefeld & Katadyn Walter Filters: caspians.net
According to this site, Berkefeld and Katadyn are pretty much the same. I don't know who Katadyn's customer's are ... but, here's a blurb I found on another site about Berkefeld ...
British Berkefeld Gravity Water Filters are designed for use where portability is necessary or there is no access to a pressure fed water supply. They are highly recommended for "no water pressure" situations. International customers include:
- International Red Cross,
- Unicef,
- U.S. & British Embassies
- Hong Kong Health Dept
- Save the Children Fund
- Medicare International
GREAT SITE: Everything anyone needs to know about water storage, filters, etc:

BTW: For those that don't know how much water is required under "emergency" conditions - according to FEMA & Red Cross - it's 2-gallons per person, per day. Personally, I want more than the 2-gallons. But, you can get by on 2-gallons. |
