Type / brand of water filter for Africa recommendations?
Hi All,
I'm building the water system for my new 4x4 to travel around Africa for two years.
I want to be able to take on board water of slightly questionable quality, pumping it through a high quality filter on the way into the tank, then through the filter on the way out of the tank before use.
I won't pump in water from anything as bad as murky swamps, but maybe it won't always be perfect bottled water either.
What brand / type of filter do people recommend for this kind of use in Africa?
I've seen ones that go down to 0.5 microns, but do I need to consider other factors as well?
Thanks,
-Dan

Three possibles
LIFESAVER Jerrycan - 10,000 | 20,000 Litre Portable Water Filter
Travel Unit Water Filter | Live PristineHydro
Products - Katadyn Products Inc.
The lifesaver jerry can does what it says , and its useful for getting water if you have onboard tank, Its best use is just for drinking water , IIRC its about £260 so not cheap , but its also gives a quick supply if there are several of you and its hot so hydration a must. I have no connection with lifesaver other than as a customer. HTSH
