Water Purifiers

One of the most important things during your mountaineering and trekking trips is to keep yourself well-hydrated. Safe drinking water is therefore essential. In remote or undeveloped areas, safe drinking water could be hard to obtain. The only water source you may find might contain bacteria (such as e-coli, salmonella and cholera), viruses (which cause diseases such as hepatitis, meningitis, and polio) and protozoa (such as giardia). All these things need to be removed or destroyed to ensure that the suspect water is safe to drink. There are several ways by which you can do this. Click on the sections below to read about why you really need Water Purifiers, the different Water Purification Methods and refer to a guide on how to buy Water Purifiers.
