REI Katadyn
Hiker Water-Filter-Pump 185g Ø8x20cm
$ 64,95
I mainly bought this water purifier for motorcycle trips to Easter Europe and developing countries, but not only, as even a apparently clean mountain creek, e.g. in Bavaria, could be contaminated by cows, or better by their faeces. |

Since it is quite a bit of work to
filter water with a pump, I take it on my motorcycle travels to be
able to prepare clean water when it is not otherwise available, or
for camping rough. Until now I have not needed to use the pump,
therefore I can not (yet) put up a real test report, but I will as
soon as I have used it "in the field". Conclusion: It is rather big, but light weight. I will continue to take it on long trips, and will certainly have to use it at some point. The KATADYN Hiker Purifier is also available at Amazon.de.

REI Portable Aqua
Water Purifying Tablets 30g
Ø2,5x5cm
$ 6,75 So far I also haven't had to use the water purifying tablets, but I read in forums that the purified water has a very bad taste. So, it seems to be more a solution for emergency situations, and not for the regular use. Other manufacturers advertise with a neutral taste, I will try them when these tablets expire. Conclusion: Very small, and therefore always with me on any trip. Similar water
