Water purifiers ensure clean, drinking water
Clean water is essential for life. It is not always available, and you cannot always be sure of its purity. Recently, there have been unfortunate incidents reported domestically where hikers have fallen ill from contaminated water. With a water purifier, you can filter out bacteria and protozoa from the water, allowing you to safely use water from streams and lakes. A water purifier is also a great travel companion when staying in hotels or hostels, ensuring the tap water’s purity by filtering it with your own purifier.
Water purifiers can be connected directly to a hydration reservoir, creating a gravity-fed water purification system with a large container, or used like a straw to drink directly from a lake or stream.
Clean water is extremely important for hikers. In Finland, we are accustomed to drinking from lakes and streams without issues. While this is often true, you can never be certain of the water’s drinkability. Microbes in the water cannot be seen with the naked eye, so we highly recommend using a water purifier.
