Desalinating for camping - your thoughts please?

station- rat sand spears filter down to 1 mycron, not to mention all the water you are getting is filtered thu natures best filter, SAND .

how does this level of filtration compare to "katadyn" filtration quality, as i,ve used this type on very suspect water (as in cholera and dysentery) and come through unscathed.

ignore this question as i just checked out the info available here http://www.katadyn.com/water-knowled...hnologies.html

combine a sand spear with filtration to 1 mycron with a ceramic katadyn filter and you will have some of the purest potable water available. with pre filtering to to 1 mycron you will have very little maintainence on your ceramic filter.

Just an update on this..............I have written twice to Katadyn and not received any response whatsoever. This is a shame, as the product really looked the goods. However, it seems clear they are not interested in my business nor me being able to inform the 25,000 or so members of Ausfish.

Dave,
sorry to hear about the poor response.

They have a dealer in Oz McIntyre marine down at the Gold coast city marina, coomera. Ph 07-55736611 Fax 07-55029777 Give them a bell..

There is also a complete self contained setup - spectra aquifier 150 (complete with battery and/or solar panels) but not cheap - around $10k.

hiya mate
just wondering if youve thought about the option of building a small still , i assume youve already got a stove and pans , all youd need is a conical lid and spiral copper tube , would provide enouh water for drinking and cooking , depends how much ya need though
