Camp Water: Low-cost Water Filtration

Camp Water: Low-cost Water Filtration



In preparing for a remote trip, I realized I would need to become completely reliable on natural sources of drinking water. This video compares several different choices for low-cost water filtration.
CORRECTION: In flushing out the Miniwell filter, I referred to the mouthpiece end as an “Inlet”. Technically, it’s the “Outlet”!

I have no connections with any of the products mentioned, the opinions are my own. Please visit the manufactures’ websites for more information on their product claims.

For reference, I have included what the company claims from their packaging:

Brita Premium Water Bottle:
65% average Chlorine Taste and Odor reduction, 99.9% Particulate reduction. (No bacteria reduction claimed).

Dobrass Water Free System:
Removes 99.999% harmful bacteria like colibacilus, legionella, salmonella. Removes heavy metal, chlorine and improve (sic) water taste

LifeStraw Personal Water Filter and Universal Water Bottle Filter Adapter:
Removes 99.999999% of bacteria (e.g., Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae, and Salmonella typhi) and 99.999 % protozoan cysts (e.g. Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia lamblia) that produce waterborne diseases.

Miniwell Portable Personal Water Filter L630:
Effective against 99.9% Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, Salmonella typhi, Cholera bacteria, Legionella and other pathogenic bacteria

(How to) Install Water Filter to BESTWAY Fast Set Pool - Summer 2020

(How to) Install Water Filter to BESTWAY Fast Set Pool – Summer 2020



It’s now Summer 2020 and it’s time to get wet in the BESTWAY Garden Swimming Pool!!

This video is here to hopefully help you with Installing the #BestwayWaterFilter to your #Bestway Fast Set Pool. I got soaked because I made a mistake when filling the pool, so don’t do what I did!

I kind of jumped right in and just started recording this, the kids and wife had already filled the pool with water before I arrived home, my advice would be to fill the pool enough to have it standing but not above the holes where you need to add the filter – as it would be easier this way.

I had to go underwater to do it and then realised I had put them in the wrong way around, even though it still worked it would have been better done the other way and as you’ll see in the comments some people have pointed this out.

I’d advise for you to read the comments and even drop me a message if you need my opinion on how I did things. I’m not claiming to be the expert here. I followed the instructions and used common sense to get it working based on the situation I was in at the time.

I hope this helps you, good luck and enjoy installing your #FastSetWaterFilter System to your Bestway Fast Set Pool.

DIY Sawyer Gravity Water Filtration System for $4

DIY Sawyer Gravity Water Filtration System for $4



Always wanted a gravity system for water on the trail but never wanted to pay the price or the weight. Found this little trick through my searches and at the cost of $4 works surprisingly well. Not sure who the first was to do it but I saw it through Tom Willard who I believe credited Hiram Cooks.

For the cost of a small $4 plastic accessory I will show you what you have to do to adapt it to your sawyer squeeze water filter. Enjoy!
