Advantages Of Portable Water Purifiers For Survival

By Minnie Whitley


If you are planning an outdoor trip or in case of emergencies, it becomes necessary that you have adequate supply of pure water. It is important to have portable water purifiers for survival. You don't need to carry gallons of fluids with you if you have a portable device of this sort.

When you plan an outdoor trip, you have to carefully think of all the essential items that you will require for your trip. You may take containers with you but there is no guarantee that the water supply would last if you have planned to stay outdoors for a longer period of time. Either, you will be required to carry loads of containers or you would have to drive somewhere else to purchase water which is not very practical when you are on a trip where there are no amenities anywhere near you.

Although one you can plan an outdoor stay near a lake or river where there is plenty of water but you cannot be sure about the quality of it and whether you can drink it safely or not. You can avoid the possibility of getting sick if you have already purchased a purifier for your trip.

In those times when people were unable to use purifiers, they used other simple purification methods. One of such method is very simple yet very effective, all you need is a piece of cloth like handkerchief and an clean pan. Firstly, pour the liquid into the pan through the handkerchief and then boil that water. The boiling process kills all the germs and bacteria that are present in it.

Another portable purifier is ceramic filter. This method is also considered as very natural and free of chemicals. The ceramic filters have small holes which allows the fluid to pass leaving behind all sort of debris and things that are polluting it. The only downside about this type of filter is that because no chemical purification is involved therefore, any poisonous substance that is present, is not killed.

The most effective purification kit is the UV or most commonly known as ultraviolet purifier. The reason why its considered the best is because even if poisonous substances are present this purifier kills them off. As compared to other products available in the market, this purifier can be a bit costly but once you purchase it, you will realize that its worth spending that much amount of money on it. It has an ultraviolet lamp which is basically a light source and its enclosed within a sleeve. The fluid is passed through the purifier and its exposed to the UV light which kills off the bacteria and other poisonous substances.

When you go out to purchase a purifier, you need to keep in mind a few important things so that you are able to make a perfect choice. You must have a clear idea about what you exactly have to purchase.

You should mark it in your top priority list to have clean and pure drinking water when you are outdoors. There is no need to make any sort of compromise as your health matters the most.
