Backpacking Water Filters
Water treatment is an essential aspect of backpacking – luckily, there are many options available, from chemicals, to killing off contaminants with ultraviolet light, to backpacking filters and purifiers.
Backpacking filters remove protozoa, parasites, and bacteria from water, making it fit for drinking, while water purifiers also remove viruses.
