water filtration options

picked up 2- 3.5 gallon buckets with lids from the grocery bakery on the way home yesterday.
donut glaze was in one and chocolate frosting in the other.
that was a tough drive home trying to resist shlurping the residue out of those buckets.

Anyone have pictures of finished product? I like the ingenuity and am inspired to do the same...

I just use a Katadyn filter. Mine is rated for 10,000 litres of filtered water which for me seems pretty good. I also have a Steri-pen that I use when I am filtering river/pond/lake water as a double safe. So far have not gotten sick, and the water all tastes good.

I do also have the purification chemical just in case, but I don't ever use that. That would be a last ditch thing for me considering the other system I use.

I've been socking away bags of the hardwood charcoal, unscented, no match light, just basic charcoal. With labor day around the corner stores may be discounting their seasonal supplies.
We used containers of it along with sand for DI water systems. It never hurts to have some laying around, space permitting.
