If you want the best water bottle filter out there, there is always http://www.lifesaversystems.com/ :) But that thing is expensive.

Yes, Barry, a water filter.  You can get a reverse osmosis hand pump that will let you drink "brita quality" water from the dirtiest lake and it's light too.  I use it when going backpacking.  You can fill up a large container and pour it out as needed.  I've never used a brita bottle, so I can't speak to it's effectiveness regarding taste, but if it uses a charcoal filter it will get rid of the sulfur smell/taste.

Anybody know what can be done to get rid of that "rotten egg" taste in water?  The last time I went to Bong, where I met up with "Cezar" , We used a well that had a taste of sulfur.  Since then, I bought a Brita filter bottle.  Will that work or am I going to have to buy purification tablets?

Do any of these dates work for any of you?

Comment by Adam "Cezar" Jenkins on June 16, 2011 at 3:37pm
You should probably make a discussion to handle the logistics.
Comment by Angela Dean on June 16, 2011 at 3:36pm
