You should have at least two of the filters recommended in this guide in each one of your emergency bags. We recommend using filters for basic prepping needs because it’s the best way to quickly turn wild water into drinkable water. Water can be treated in a variety of ways: filter screens, purification chemicals (chlorination), boiling it away and recapturing the steam (distillation), reverse osmosis, UV light, or boiling. Water, especially water affected by emergencies like grid failure or flooding, contains organisms that can make you very sick at the worst possible time. Reviews: Portable water purification tablets, water canteens and home water filtersįull list of product reviews and details on prepping tips, water risks, etc. These products should be one of your very first purchases in prepping. This review covers the kind of products you’d keep in your go-bags, perhaps with some extras in your home supplies or for everyday carry. We spent 48 hours researching and reviewing over 70 portable survival water filters for preppers so that you don’t have to - and more importantly, so that you don’t buy a bad product and die. Unsafe drinking water causes half of all the occupied hospital beds in the world and over two million preventable deaths each year. You can’t depend on “running to the store” at the last minute or carrying all the water you need. I bought the second filter to keep in my Get Home Bag, or GHB (not gamma -Hydroxybutyric acid).You know water is vital to emergency preparedness - you can only survive three days without it - and you probably know it can be hard to get consistent and clean water in a SHTF disaster. The Siltstopper was worth every penny, which is very inexpensive, BTW. I have filtered water out of an open top standing spring in Frozenhead State Park. Right now, I fill up the bottle and pour it into the Camelback. I'm considering getting a MSR Dromedary water bladder, because the filter and the bladder are compatible. I keep a Nalgene bottle, as the filter screws directly to the top of a large mouth Nalgene. I wear a 3.0 liter Camelback when I'm backpacking. If you have to clean the filter, it isn't hard, I'm just lazy. 
The siltstopper is a must have as far as I'm concerned, as I don't have to worry about stoppage when I'm backpacking, and taking the time to clean the filter itself. The Miniworks has a ceramic filter, as shown in the link, that is easy to clean with the scrub sponge that comes with the kit. Needless to say, I was very happy that it didn't break. My first one is still going strong, even after dropping it twenty feet over rocks at a stream. For those of you looking for a water filter, I suggest the MSR Miniworks EX, coupled with the MSR Siltstopper.
