Hiking water filter

admin — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 01:35:15 +0000

On any long distance hike where you can’t carry enough water it’s important you have some way of purifying your water. Boiling water is the most reliable way but also the most inefficient and time consuming way. If you don’t like the taste of tablets and chemicals, a water filtration system is the next best choice. We chose the Katadyn Vario and tested it on our 28 mile, 3 day hike on the AT, Appalachian Trail. Very fast and efficient.

The Katadyn Pocket water filter technology uses a 0.2 micron ceramic element impregnated with silver. The capacity of the Pocket micro filter is rated at 13,000 gallons (50,000 liters). The unit meets EPA purification standards for bacteria and protozoa including cysts, Giardia, Cyrptosporidia, Amoebae, Lamblia, E-coli, Salmonella, and Cholera.

The katadyn pocket filter could be used for expeditions, scouting troops, camping, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, backpacking, or outdoor adventures including hunting and fishing. The filter could also be used in a disaster situation or emergency event. The Pocket filter is a simple design that can easily be cleaned in the field.

Sport Berkey Portable Water Purifier

admin — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:28:11 +0000

Around Christmas I bought a Sport Berkey portable water purifier on eBay for about $36. I had planned to use it this summer and do a revue on it. From what I have read about the Sport Berkey I really thought it would make a very nice, light-weight, inexpensive (in other words, cheap) water filter that would be relatively safe. According to the Sport Berkey people their filter will remove up to 99.9% of many health-threatening contaminants, including harmful pathogens, pesticides, detergents, Aluminum, Mercury, Radon 222, and such using something called the Ionic Adsorption Micro Filtration System. It has a shelf life of 50 years.

Then we had a situation here where the Township informed us that the water supply is contaminated with Ecoli bacteria and that we should boil any water that we wanted to drink. With that I figured now would be a good time to put the Sport Berkey to test.

In this video I am trying a test that I’ve seen where blue food dye is filtered through the Sport Berkey. It indeed does filter out the blue food dye completely.

In the video I mentioned that the bottle could be refilled 160 times from sources like streams and 640 times from Municipal water supplies. What I failed to mention is the capacity of the bottle. With the filter in place the bottle holds 22 fl oz, but I doubt that more than 16 fl oz could be gotten out of the bottle at one time.
