[QUOTE="Serenity Bushcraft, post: 2044267, member: 8852"] prefilter your H2O with a homemade sand a charcoal filter, they are easy to make. It will help eliminate some of the chunks at least but not anything that will make you sick. I have a ceramic filter that is attached to a 5 gallon bucket and it drains through to another bucket. I used two colors of buckets. Two red ones for the prefiltering and a white one for the filtered H2O. That way there is less of a chance of cross nastification. Once the H20 has been filtered completly I will add bleach to help preserve the water and kill any nasties that might have made it through. If the water is from a really questionable source then I suggest boiling after filtering and then add bleach. I use this process for gathering large ammounts of H2O for camp but I carry a Katidyn portable filter when I am out hiking. I have pumped some terraible looking water through that thing and have never gotten sick. [/QUOTE]
