    My son's Hydro Flask had a kind of nasty plastic top to it. Every single model for sale does, in fact. And the problem is that it has two parts and bacteria and water gets into it, as it's injection molded plastic that's snapped together/held together by friction. It has this thin little plastic gasket that is hard to remove for washing. The rest of the thing was fine - stainless steel and easy to scrub every day with a brush. The solution was to get the old original top that was also all stainless steel with a proper replaceable gasket. This is a custom-order part that they don't sell with ANY of their new bottles. "Hydro Flask Stainless Steel Cap" does force Amazon to show it, though. Water quality immediately improved and his asthma went away. The simple o-ring also is easy to slip off and appears to be a standard size / any culinary parts store should have it. Basically you want a bottle with a simple screw in (not on) lid. Like the old thermos we had in grade school. lol. 2 parts, scrub it to death every day - no crannies to hide bacteria.

    get a (big berky) gravity fed water filter. It makes (stagnet pond water) into sweet water. A little expensive, it's about $500. But, evenso that it might be "slower" than a person wants. It does have a 5 gallon reservoir . Fill it up at night, and in the morning. Then you have a 5 gallon buffer of clean water. Worth every penny. Evenso, be sure to get the "priming" kit. Off the shelf they intend you to use the faucet to prime your new filters up. In the wood, no faucet. You need the kit. I think it was $20 about. enjoy.

    • @waterfilterguru
      @waterfilterguru День тому

      Berkey (and similar gravity fed filters) alone is not sufficient protection for filtering untreated surface water that is microbiologically unsafe. The water should be properly disinfected either with chemicals prior to filtration or boiling or UV post-filtration. I'm currently working on a video diving deep into the deception companies like this have used to sell their filters as sufficient for emergency preparedness and filtering untreated surface water. Stay tuned

      Very interesting. Have you noticed any other sign the filter is reaching capacity/ getting close to the end of it's life? Odd smell/ taste? Some folks describe it as acidic or fishy. Noticeably slower filtration rate? Unless there is an issue with the TDS meter, it sounds like the filter is still working and not yet time to replace, which indicates that water may not be too contaminated to begin with.

    I'm very skeptical of "water preservative." What are a few drops of some chemical going to do to "preserve water for up to 5 years"? If it does anything, it is most likely bleach which will kill microorganisms, and you should just use bleach. If the container is clean, sealed, kept at room temperature or below, in the dark, then sterile water should keep effectively forever. In fact, many microorganisms will simply die out over the years in such conditions. Some won't! (such as cyst forming bacteria) Because water can be hard to sterilize and hard to keep sealed, you should replace it every now and then and 5 years seems like a good window regardless of pre-storage chemical treatment, especially if it looks or smells bad or has evaporated. If you have stored water that didn't get changed out, I'd look at it and treat it appropriately before use, but I wouldn't stress about it. The containers shown in the video... I've never had good luck with them. They are difficult to seal completely, and they aren't particularly rugged. NATO spec 20L bottles are better. Not cheap. Figure your per-volume storage cost. 55 gallon barrels are much more economical and large tanks even more so. My barrels don't seal well but kept in my cool, dark basement the water seems to stay good indefinitely (10+ years). I also have a 2500 gallon tank which was delivered for less than $2500. It doesn't seal well either but I did stuff copper wool in the lid vents. 😂 For a non-chemical way to store water indefinitely, you can bottle clean potable water in glass bottles using a water bath canner and then it will keep as long as it stays sealed.

    I won the auction on a brand new Aqua Tru Classic on ebay for $178. So thats the one i went with. So far i really like it, no more hundreds of plastic bottles and having to lug heavy cases of water to my 4th floor condo. I have a Zero Water dispenser that i took the filter out of and just fill it with the Aqua Tru and put it in the fridge.

      @waterfilterguru 3 дні тому

      I've not personally tested the K19 yet, but from what I can tell it doesn't hold any certifications, whereas the AquaTru is certified for both its contaminant reduction performance for a whole host of contaminants, as well as materials safety.

    Thank you for the informative video. Very grateful. I have about 10 cases of water stored, as well as a Sawyer Mini and a Life straw. I also have 2 small bottles of AquaPure tabs. Bleach is a great alternative but does not store well. Also, a Silcock key is very helpful to procure water from larger buildings. I have tested the key and found a few large buildings with access to clean water near my home. Great information I have subscribed and left a like.

    Loved this content, would love to see lots of other filtration systems tested. Also, are micro plastics and disinfectants something you are able to test for?

    • @waterfilterguru
      @waterfilterguru 3 дні тому

      Thanks! I've got a long, long list of products that folks have requested to be tested. Any specific product you'd like to add? Disinfectants (chlorine) and disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are included in the Advanced Tap Score lab tests we used for this project, but unfortunately microplastics are not included by default. I'd love to test every system for microplastics as well, but in its current state testing for microplastics is extremely expensive and and this just isn't feasible to do.

      Thanks for the request! I think the best way to show the effectiveness of these would be to use them with untreated surface water like river or stream water and see how they perform compared to the product claims.

    Zerowater filter on my kitchen countertop and a Grayl geopress goes where I go. Along with a couple millbank bags. The bag that houses my Grayl also has a separate aquamira filter and accompanying silicone hoses. Lastly, sometime ago I came across a fellow near me selling food grade IBC totes for $75 a piece, they formerly contained rum. Not a big fan of using bleach, but for that kind of volume it's not a bad option.

    • @waterfilterguru

      Right on, thanks for sharing! It's good to note that ZeroWater should only be used with properly treated water - don't rely on it in an emergency unless you've disinfected the water first!

    I liked your video and I subscribed. Its quite good but you didn't touch on The Holy Grail of filters... Reverse Osmosis. Please check out the ITEHIL R.O. portable, battery operated, rechargeable system, and maybe make a video on it. Its an amazing piece of technology. It can be recharged from a solar panel and can make up to 9 gallons of pure drinking water from one charge...and its quite affordable, with very reasonably priced replacement filters.
