I don’t want to leave behind me a trail of plastic bottle. That was my philosophy all along but having seen the amount of plastic by the side of the road everywhere I am even more determined than before. However I want to be able to have as much drinking water as I need to so filters are the way forward for me.

I used this from January 2017. It worked brilliantly for me
750 ml Drinksafe with filter

This was a gift from some friends that had tested it extensively in India and never had a problem. After 2 years of use I can strongly recommend it. I didn't get the dreaded diarrhoea once. It is a brilliant piece of kit

I used them to wash salad leaves. It was great to eat salad anytime I wanted without worry of contamination
This is really helpful – I haven’t got this sorted yet, but was erring towards the MSR mini works filter – far more expensive and doesn’t look as well tested as this product. Thanks.
