Personal Water Filter

Personal Water Filter

I have found a personal water filter (PWF) we can trust. I am such an advocate of making sure my family and I drink enough water. Not just any water but pure water. Of course, I also encourage my friends to drink what I call "clean" water. Which basically means not directly from the tap but purified tap water. One (as we use several) of the resources we use to drink clean water is a Water Filter bottle.

About a year ago I saw a very simple experiment using a particular kind of water filter bottle. I wish I could show you the video because a picture does truly paints 1000 words. In lieu of the video, I will do my best to explain this experiment using this Personal Water Filter bottle.

The test was performed using a pitcher of tap water, three clear glasses, the 26 ounce PWF and a few drops of a chemical that showed you the presence of chlorine. (Although the experiment gave a visual regarding the chlorine content in the water, this particular personal water filter also takes out lead and other contaminants.)

Ok, here you go.
Glass #1: The presenter took a pitcher of tap water and poured some into glass #1, he then added a few drops of the chemical and the water proceeded to turn red as the chemical made contact with the chlorine.

Glass #2: Glass #2 was then filled with the tap water. The presenter took this glass, put the water in his mouth, swished it around for a few seconds then returned it to the glass. (yes, he spit it back in.) Then once again he put a few drops of the same chemical in to the water. However, this time the water did not change color. I was amazed at how this little experiment showed me how readily our bodies absorb the chlorine in the water without even drinking it.

Glass #3: He took the pitcher of water and instead of putting it into the glass he poured it into one of the PWF bottles. He then closed the bottle and poured the water out of the bottle into glass #3. And the next thing that happened I would not believe if I hadn't seen it myself. He once again added the chemical that turns red when it comes in contact with chlorine. Guess what? The water stayed clear and showed that the chlorine wasn't present.

Now that's what I want in a portable water filter. Proof! The upside, this filter is great for tap or potable water. The downside, this PWF is NOT intended to use for lake or pond water, however, there is another portable water filter designed for camping , rv's and travel that I have reviewed.
