What Can You Use for Water Purification?

Being able to purify water is essential to survival preparedness. In emergency situations, you might need to use less than desirable water sources for drinking. Luckily, there are different options out there for purifying water for drinking.

One of the easiest ways is to use a water purifying solution such as Polar Pure Water Disinfectant. This solution is quick and easy to use. Just add a cap of solution to water, shake, wait 20 minutes and drink.

Polar Pure Water Disinfectant is more convenient than water filters as it is small enough to be carried anywhere and it is faster and easier to use. The best part about it is that it is inexpensive, costing only around $13! It also lasts a long time, purifying up to 20,000 liters.

One of the five star reviews on Amazon.com states-

"Our group used Polar Pure in the Boundary Waters and Quetico on a week-long canoe trip. At first, everyone was squeamish about using iodine and so we spent a lot of time pumping water with a conventional filter. But the filter leaked and so some of us decided maybe we'd try to survive the awful taste of iodine in the water. Color me surprised - the water tasted fine. It was convenient - just dip your water bottle over the side of the canoe to fill, add a capful of Polar Pure solution, shake, and wait 20 minutes. It tasted great. Could I taste the difference between Polar Pure and filtered water? Sure, on a side-by-side taste test I could tell a slight difference. But it was so much more compact and convenient than the water filter that I switched to Polar Pure for the rest of the week. Now I'm going to get bottles for the rest of the family so that we can take it on our hikes and trips in the Cascades and Olympics. A small bottle in a backpack and we'll never run out of water on those hot grinding switchback trails."
