Why You Should Purchase Portable Water Purifiers For Survival

By Minnie Whitley


If you are planning an outdoor trip or in case of emergencies, it becomes necessary that you have adequate supply of pure water. It is important to have portable water purifiers for survival. You don't need to carry gallons of fluids with you if you have a portable device of this sort.

In order to make sure that you have everything that you need whilst on an outdoor trip, you need to make a list of all the essentials. If you are planning to stay outdoors for a long duration, then its not practical to carry huge supply of water with you. Instead the best option could be to carry a portable purifier with you because otherwise, you will have to stay close to amenities.

Although one you can plan an outdoor stay near a lake or river where there is plenty of water but you cannot be sure about the quality of it and whether you can drink it safely or not. You can avoid the possibility of getting sick if you have already purchased a purifier for your trip.

In previous times, when purifiers were not that commonly sold, people used a very simple purification method. They used handkerchief to pour the fluid into a clean pan and then boil it so that all sorts of bacteria and viruses die down. Its by far the most simple yet a cost effective method of filtering and still used in those areas where purifying kit is a bit expensive to purchase.

Another portable purifier is ceramic filter. This method is also considered as very natural and free of chemicals. The ceramic filters have small holes which allows the fluid to pass leaving behind all sort of debris and things that are polluting it. The only downside about this type of filter is that because no chemical purification is involved therefore, any poisonous substance that is present, is not killed.

The most effective purification kit is the UV or most commonly known as ultraviolet purifier. The reason why its considered the best is because even if poisonous substances are present this purifier kills them off. As compared to other products available in the market, this purifier can be a bit costly but once you purchase it, you will realize that its worth spending that much amount of money on it. It has an ultraviolet lamp which is basically a light source and its enclosed within a sleeve. The fluid is passed through the purifier and its exposed to the UV light which kills off the bacteria and other poisonous substances.

Whilst buying a purifier, always keep in mind some important things as it will help you to make an appropriate decision in this regards. You should consider your needs and your requirements before making such purchase.

It should be your priority to ensure that you have clean and healthy water to drink whilst you are outdoors. You must never make any compromises when it comes to your health no matter what happens.
