ITEHIL Portable RO Water Filtration System - Removes What Other Filters Can't

[@dannystaley4538]

Does it filter out salt

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Unfortunately, no. I did ask that of the company. Thanks for commenting

Reverse osmosis does remove salt, why can't this device?

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Company - Our water filtration system can only filter fresh water and it can even filter urine. If it needs to filter salt water, it has to cost a lot to produce these systems and the machine will be big and heavy.

​​@@MarkYoungBushcraft Urine is " salt water" It's about 3% salts as opposed to seawater which is a fairly consistent 3.5%. Brackish water would have less salt than urine.

@@MarkYoungBushcraft Yep, thought so Mark. It may be worth the big dough/size/weight for those living by the briny. Though on the other hand, since it does everything else, it only makes sense if there's no other source available. Cheers Duke. P.S. btw; they should have color coded the blue output port.

The General Ecology company makes a portable backpacking filter called the First Need that filters down to 0.4 microns. It removes pesticide, and herbicide contaminants, as well as giardia, cryptosporidia, and other biological contaminants. It uses silver to kill viruses, too. It's bulky, relative to filters like the Sawyer Squeeze, but I contemplated using one through the lower elevations of the middle miles of the Appalachian Trail. I ended up skipping that section and never got back to it last year due to my knee injury. For a backpacking filter it's relatively heavy, bulky, and expensive, but no other one pound filter that I am aware of filters out as many harmful contaminants. Thanks for reviewing this very useful item for emergency water filtration and drive-in camping.

I had not heard of the General Ecology filter before. I will look it up. Thanks for commenting

This was a good video and I am going to look up this company. Hilariously, I think some viewers of your video believe you were saying rainwater is contaminated and generally not good for vegetable gardens. I believe your actual point is “collected rainwater” concentrates the contaminants because most of the time the barrel water is evaporating and stagnant.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Yes, I did mean collected rainwater as it picks up more pollution than straight from the sky, then sits and ferments in the barrel. Thanks for commenting

Bought the Stokk brand off Amazon and I couldn’t be happier. ❤

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I will look up the Stokk. Thanks for commenting

I can see where this would be a great device for car camping. However in your home, an RO system instem could be installed for pure water. Coffee is best with approximately 8 grains of hardness. I filter my city water through a taste/odor (carbon) filter and mix it with RO water. This makes the best coffee. All cities put chlorine in the water to kill pathogens. This can make your coffee very bitter. Pure RO water can also make bitter coffee. This is why most coffee shops mix pure water with a small amount of hard water filtered through carbon.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I have heard about minerals that can be added back in to RO filtered water. Wonder how that would make the coffee taste. Thanks for commenting

[@redsorgum]

Will this filter out foul language? …..sorry. We used DI water tanks for window cleaning. It made the water spot free using reverse osmosis. This looks like a great filter.✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Super effective. May even clean up my thoughts. Thanks for commenting

[@radagast6682]

DI water is deionised water not RO water. It is water with both positive and negative ions removed.

[@ziggarillo]

So, we need to protect our vegetables from rain and airborn contaminants, that's going to be a bit difficult 😂
