Water Filters I am looking at buying a water filter from http://ecoloblue.com/ It is basically an upgraded dehumidifier with filters. 1300$ ....not cheap I want a water filter that i can run off solar power ..wind ..that is portable so i can use it at home and on a boat...and is not reliant on the main grid of water electricity supply and power. Does anyone have any recommendation s..comments on the ecoloblue...good bad ..... It would be great to come across one that not as expensive... Thanks TJ

Re: Water Filters Filters or generators? No experience with a water generator. Those always make me think of the moisture farmers in star wars on tatooine. For water filters, that don't require any electricity. I like the aquarain.

Episode one, that was Luke's uncle and aunt, they were moisture farmers. Aquarain? It is american made, 404 stainless steel, has a higher purity rating on the filter media, the media last longer than the berkey, and the filters are cheaper.

Re: Water Filters Belt and suspenders here? I have a Optimus Nova Backpacking stove, great on the trail, and would be perfect for disinfecting water. I am thinking of getting an ultraviolet water purifier - the Steripen Journey. Question, if I can boil water with my stove, then is there really any need for the ultraviolet water purifier? I thought if you boiled water long enough, all the microbes (cryptosporidium, viruses, bacteria, and Giardia. It is also effective against travel pathogens that cause diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis, Legionnaires disease, and other germs such as Bird flu, Strep, Staph, influenzas, Salmonella, and E. coli) will die.

Re: Water Filters Have a question....what about using colloidal silver to purify water (i.e., kill harmful crap by adding small amount of CS to water) after some type of basic filtering, like though coffee filters? is this viable?? - thanks

You raise an excellent point. I have several Hi Performance MSR hand pump back pack filters and I was planning on making some colloidal silver or Ionic silver and run it through the filter to help keep the critter count down. I think some filters are pre impregnated with silver during manufacturing. I'm not a big fan of using colloidal silver for internal consumption but this is one area I will let it slide. Much better off using high doses of vit D to boost the immune system than loading down the body with silver. Google search Bill Sardi and Vitamin D

Have to correct you there, as I'm a slight Star Wars fan. It was in fact Episode IV - A New Hope. This was the episode (correctly) deemed to be the most suitable to be filmed first in the Star Wars series. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wa...IV:_A_New_Hope

Yeah, I realized that after I shut the computer down, and thought screw it, I will correct it tomorrow :sleepy13:

The aquarain and several other main filters (I think the berkey has as an option) silver built into the filter media. This helps keep the filter media fresh after use and during storage.

Some Berkey filters have silver impregnated within the filters to sterilize: British Berkefeld� Super Sterasyl� Ceramic Filter http://www.stevequayle.com/GG.Images...syl.filter.gif Composition of the Sterasyl� ceramic contains pure silver. This silver is a specially formulated self-sterilizing (bacteriostatic) agent. The result is that bacterial growth is prevented from occurring within the Sterasyl� ceramic element (which is possible with the other ceramic filter elements.) More importantly, bacterial "grow-through" is eliminated. This silver content is about 0.07%, which is well within the allowable levels recommended by the World Health Organization and the E.P.A. Because of the silver, Sterasyl� filter elements do not require sterilization after cleaning.
