Portable Water Filtration System

Here's the story: I love water. Fresh tasting clear water. When I go to other cities, often the water taste bad, feels bad in my mouth. I believe we here in Victorville have pretty tasty water. I drink it from the tap. I , though, am aware of the chemicals they put in water here-we get a report from the Water Department regularly. Sometimes it scares me to see that long list of chemicals.

I am aware that when I am traveling, there may not be a source of clean good tasting water. Or we might have a natural disaster that will prevent us from having clean water.

To be a more prepared person, I have decided to purchase a portable water system.
Why?
Well...I don't like buying and using all those clear plastic water bottles: Long story for another post.

Also..another thing that motivated me was listening to my son who, for his work, had to do some survival activities up in the mountains which included using a portable water filtration system. They had to use water from a lake, some streams.

So, curious to see if the LDS Church Distribution Center offered something like this, I checked it out.

I bought the Seychelle Water Filtration Kit (my son used a different name brand system) from the online LDS store and was pleased to find it was a lot cheaper on that site than it was on other sites. I paid $16.50 about 6 months ago and the price recently went up to $22.00. On other sites, this same item costs $59.95!

Here it is...very nice .The plastic bottles Seychelle uses are environmentally safe, re-usable, can be recycled. They will not leach and are BPA free. Yippee! I'm in!
