[QUOTE="Deleted member 67185, post: 801212"] For bulk water disinfection (filling water bottles), [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0MZ7NI/?tag=casaivar02-20'][SIZE=4][B]Katadyn's BeFree water filtration system[/B][/SIZE][/URL][SIZE=4][B] [/B][/SIZE]is what I currently use for backpacking. As can be seen, the soft and collapsible nature of the bottle allows it to compact down to a small bundle and it can be used as a water bottle; it is lightweight, and it is extremely effective. It is also what I take on Camino as part of the quick disconnect and refill system for my water reservoir. Other highly rated and effective products for backpacking are made by MSR and [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071Y4F3JD/?tag=casaivar02-20'][B]Sawyer[/B][/URL]. It used to be that for effective water filtration, you carried a small canister type of device with a small lever that pumped untreated water through a flexible hose that you placed into the water from a stream or lake or puddle, etc. The disinfected water emerged from the opposite end of the canister which was attached to your water bottle/container. In [I]general[/I], those systems - which are still available - are much heavier, bulkier, and slightly less effective overall than the mini filters that exist today. Those who are familiar with Katadyn know that they are a long time maker of exceptional water filtration products for expeditions and wild hiking and camping. MSR has that same reputation. I am putting together a quick and dirty guide about water treatment options for suspect water sources for a separate thread. [/QUOTE]
