Didn\u2019t feel like going on? No, got diarrhoea&#8230;I guess the water wasn\u2019t as clean as I thought it was&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not at all rare to hear these or similar stories from fellow outdoorsmen who cut their trip short. Unfortunately, when you\u2019re in the great outdoors &#8211; be it a multi-day trek, a climbing trip or an expedition to Africa &#8211; water and <strong>water purification<\/strong> is one of the most important factors. There\u2019s simply no way around it. After all, a whopping three-quarters of all illnesses are water-borne &#8211; yikes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to reduce the risk of you contracting water-borne diseases, please have a good, hard think about the following: first and foremost, use common sense. I mean, nobody in their right mind would drink standing muddy water willingly, right? So, you shouldn\u2019t either! But, what about when you\u2019re trekking through meadows and cultivated land and come upon a little innocent stream? Oh yeah, totally drink the stream water. It looks drinkable. Go for it. Yeah&#8230;I know what you\u2019re thinking. You shouldn\u2019t have taken that sip, right? Even in seemingly clear stream water, there are loads of invisible risks that can ruin a trip. You said it: Montezuma\u2019s revenge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-different-types-of-impurities-in-water\">The different types of impurities in water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a nutshell, there are three different types of impurities present in water:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dirt or suspended solids<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Undissolved particles and sediment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Micro-organisms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bacteria like e-coli or salmonella (approx. 0.2-5 microns in size)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Virus like hepatitis A (~0.02 \u2013 0.2 microns in size)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protozoa like giardia (approx. 1-15 microns in size)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Agricultural resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Like fertiliser, pesticides or herbicides<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-can-i-purify-my-drinking-water\">How can I purify my drinking water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Boiling &#8211;&nbsp;the easiest and oldest method<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the water is somewhat clear and not too cloudy, then you can use the oldest and simple method: simply boil the water. This is a very effective way to combat the various pathogens, but chemicals and suspended particles remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At sea level, you should boil the water for at least five minutes. If you\u2019re planning a trip to the mountains, you\u2019ll have to boil the water longer, since the boiling point of water gets lower with higher altitude. As a rule of thumb: increase the boiling time by 1 minute for every 150 metres of elevation gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that brings us to the biggest downside of boiling. You need fuel, and a lot of it, especially for long trips or large amounts of water. To reduce the amount of fuel required and to filter out the suspended particles and chemicals in the water, there is a variety of other water purification techniques you can use. The most important water purification methods are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Using chemicals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/micropur-micropur-forte-mf-10000p-entkeimungspulver\/\">Micropur Forte<\/a> (only available on our German website)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>How does Micropur Forte work?<\/strong> The microorganisms are killed chemically by silver ions or chlorine.

Activated charcoal filters chemicals such as pesticides, chlorine and other things while improving the taste as well. High-quality ceramic filters have a pore size of 0.2 microns, so all micro-organisms that are larger than 0.2 microns are removed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What does it combat?<\/strong> Bacteria, protozoa, suspended solids and chemicals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What is the dosage?<\/strong> 2,000 litres &#8211; then you\u2019ll have to replace the ceramic cartridge.

Sometimes, it\u2019s wise to <strong>combine various methods<\/strong>. If you\u2019re on a hut-to-hut trip in the Alps and would like to fill up your water bottle in a stream without running the risk of getting sick, your best bet would probably be a Steripen. When you make it to the hut, there\u2019ll be purified water or a bottled isotonic drink waiting for you, anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to safely disinfect water in your campervan water tank and store it for a long period of time, chemicals would be your best choice. Antichlorine will help get rid of the bad taste as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If trekking is more your thing, a mechanical water filter is definitely a good choice. It will allow you to purify large amounts of water in a short period of time. The good thing about this is that you won\u2019t have to worry about any electronics breaking or your water tasting like chlorine or other chemicals. The downside is you\u2019ll have a bit more to carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><a class=\"a-button a-button--green block\" title=\"water purification\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/water-purification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Water purifiers in our shop &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhy are you lying around the house again?
