So i have a large pond on a farm. If anything happens id like to be able to go down, get some water and purify for use in home.
Have well water now, the spring feeds the pond. I mention the farm thing bc of fertilizers and other potential runoff. We dont drink our home water rn but use it for brushing teeth and ice cubes. Its been tested and isnt bad but has some turbidity so its not aesthetically appealing.
I've seen a few YouTubers review those and the assessment is usually, yeah, it filters the water but the effort to suck it through the straw is far too tiring to be worth it in anything other than a do-or-die situation.
So, good to have in your kit, but definitely not a first-choice if you're a camper.
No. They sell large-scale water purification systems.
Click on the links I already provided in my previous comment and you'll understand.
Ah, good point.
