Water purifiers

Water is the most essential ingrediant to life.Without water the body shuts down in a matter of a few days.   Contaminated water becomes a haven for disease.  The utility of a good water filter that does not rely on the tap as a source quickly becomes apparent. 

The ability to filter your water is a major asset in a survival situation. Survival water is simply the most important thing the body needs.  Without it you aren't going to be around long enough to be worried about food. 

In a scenario of societal collapse, and indeed many emergencies that might occur before that happens, plumbing lines stand a strong chance of being compromised or simply shut down. We tend to take sewage systems for granted, but in fact they are the lifelines which have allowed our cities to grow large and prosperous.   Without proper sewage a number of effects tend to occur as a result of lack of fresh water and contamination of existing supplies within the plumbing systems that churn beneath our cities.

In an emergency of short duration, water purification tablets can be used, but the ideal solution is a system which can refine water from almost any source and remove minerals as well as go a long ways towards eliminating microbial factors. Regardless of the filter used, it is always wise to boil water that is suspected of being non-potable.

Water filters are so essential that major projects in third world countries focus on providing drinking water and technology such as water filters to turn otherwise undrinkable water into the substance your body needs to have in order to stay alive.Featured above are some devices that can be used in a variety of situations to provide emergency drinking water.
