*Lil ecola*

put in a few drops and wait like 5 minutes

But usually the water isn't potable because it is too hard

My sister and I bought this neat water pump

We used it for backpacking

Uh huh

Takes fucking FOREVER to fill up our 80l water bags

But it

It's better than most pumps you get

Apparently out there exists a straw that can filter anything from the water

Usually end up with not so pretty water

This one makes it gud

yep, I considered buying one

The straw filters are ok

Water filters are like microwaves that don't make any noise when you press their buttons late at night, in that they should both be affordable.

Aren't the best

But a good cheap solution if it's all you got

Yep

Look, some RO filters here do work for us

Granted I think the pump we got was only 30$

Lifestraws are like 20

Best bet is getting a Brita pitcher or one of those faucet filters

Uh huh

Yeah faucet filters work less

I've been a faucet drinker my whole life

Wow

So when I went backpacking and drank directly out of a stream...

That was a new experience

I was really nervous at first lol

You drink from the faucet here, it tastes like ass, will make you sick for a week

I know this, because my dumbass siblings did that once

oooof

I don't care if the water is clear as glass in a stream, I'd still boil the hell out of it before drinking it

I'm on wellwater right now

With a filter

And even rinsing your mouth is a pain

I am NOT getting Giardia

Well water does taste good

Lol @Jennifer I feel ya

never had it

We do that for my siblings
