IS Itehil SAFE for DRINKING POLLUTED River Water ??

[@clairepapin5758]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the machine :). Do you happen to know what the best way to store the machine is (and used filters) after each use to avoid mold? Is it best to remove the filters and let them air out before storage, or should the filters remain inside the machine while being stored, even if it's for several months at a time? This would be good to know for people who only plan on using it for camping, or emergency situations.

I used to have a water filtration system, as I was travelling to Wales and Scotland... However I used to carry enough bought water that I did not have to use it and never used it. I recently lent my camping stuff to my younger sister, and most of the things she either lost it or stored in a places she is unable to find it. I pretty much would have to buy new camping stuff as most of the stuff is gone and the only that is left is bag and tent, nothing else :P

Thats a shame 👍👍

Water for me is definitely number one priority. I don't even trust Thames Water after I distilled just four litres out of the tap...the pasty gunk left behind was horrific. I use the Lifesaver jerrycan, but think reverse osmosis is the way forward. Was it very slow flowing, yes...but if it worked fast, you'd have reason to be concerned at how effective it was. Just out of interest buddy...does it do salt water and does it have a carbon filter too? Also something that's very concerning in nature ponds in Chislehurst is the blue slgae that has made dogs very ill indeed...this pump at such a high level of purification is a game changer in situations like that. I drink up to six litres of water daily, so am well practiced in purification and am very tempted to add this to my arsenal. Big thumbs up from me and good to see you back 👍

HI there i have a Lifesaver jerrycan awell. Do you think is the next level in purification .

[@BushwackerMan]

It does not remove salt,and has no carbon filter👍👍

Had giardia for 9 months. Doctors couldn't diagnose it in Oklahoma... finally found a Dr that tested for parasite. Wish I had that kind of filter years ago.

[@kellymcdman]

Would you take the filter to the thames river?

[@BushwackerMan]

Yes I would 👍👍

Filtering out bacteria isn't hard, viruses are more difficult but achievable. Chemicals are a major problem. Even distillation wont Get rid of all of them.

[@neil_castell]

reverse osmosis? ... so it can do sea/salt water too?

[@BushwackerMan]

No salt water 👍👍

@@BushwackerMan hello my friend, I hope you're right. I currently only drink distilled water from my family sized and really cheap unit but it costs a pound a day to run .my trouble is I'm intrigued as to how this unit can extract heavy 🪨 by osmosis.give you an example. A common willow can extract heavy 🪨 from contaminated soil .there's no doubts about that but it of course ends up full of the heavy 🪨 and ultimately dies . I was under the impression that you can only get rid of them by distillation. Am I wrong about this Cheers and Arrrrrr from Scotlands pirate dredger
