Best Mini Water Filters on the market

Don't we all love camping, hiking, get into nature and explore! Smell the trees and the advanture of not knowing what you will see. Not knowing for sure if you have packed enough water for the whole trip.

... problably not.

But! If you are, you problably recognize the feeling of being insecure about the amount of water you are carrying with you.

This feeling can be history! There are a couple of Mini Water Filters on the market that turn any water into safe drink water.

They are typically made to remove waterborne bacteria and waterborne protozoan parasites. So it does not filter choline, lead, etc like tap water filters do and therefore does not remove bad taste. But to be honest, in an emergency situation, that's ok.

Filters have very small pores, microns, that clean the water. A tap water filters has between 0.5-5 microns, but this emergency filter had about 0.2 microns. This makes it able to adsorp better and more bacteries from the water. And that is what we need!

The filter best seller at this moment is the one of LifeStraw.

It is an award-winning water filter for hiking, camping, travel, and emergencies. It got an impressive 4.8 out of 5 star rating in Amazon. And that is not a surprise. It filters up to 99,9% of the waterborne bacteria and parasites, has a 0.02 micron filter and the filter duration is about 1.000 gallon. It is an ultralight filter, 2oz and is very small, it measures 9 x 1 x 1 inches. You just have to open the bottom of the filter and drink from the other side. It does take a bit of suction to start and keep the water flowing.

A very good competitor is the filter of Sawyer.

This filter has a bit more functions that the LifeStraw. It comes with a collapsible 16-ounce reusable squeeze pouch to squeeze the water through the system. It comes with a straw to make it easier to drink is from a water source and it also screws onto a water bottle to store the filtered water. You can/have to carry a little bit more, but it gives you more options to drink en safe clean water.

This filter removes also up to 99,9% of waterborne bacteria and parasites and has an 0.01 micron filter. This is even better than the 0.02 micron filter of LifeStraw. The filter duration is about 100.000 gallon! It is also ultralight, 2oz and fits in the palm of your hand. The more negative reviews are about the weakness of the material.

These two brands are the top of the market and by far more developed than any other brand. These are 2 great products that can safe you life when you are in an emergency situation.
