Emergency Water Purification

Normally, we turn on the tap and don't really think about it. Clean water is a resource we take for granted. There's a lot going on behind the scenes; water is treated at plants or drawn from a well before it reaches us. During emergency situations, water treatment is often compromised and wells cannot operate correctly, which could leave you and your family with a lack of clean water. Clean water is also a concern to those camping and backpacking well off the grid. The ingestion of compromised water or a complete lack of water can lead to serious illness and danger.

At PrepareDirect, we offer the essentials needed for emergency water purification, such as water purification tablets and portable water purifier units for those in the great outdoors and focused on self-reliance. Products offered include purification units, portable pumps, gravity purifier, tablets, straws, and many other products that achieve water purification when conventional means are not available.

Survival Still & Survival Water Filtration

The most common way to ensure the safety of water is by heating it, which kills bacteria and containments within the water. The Survival Still is one of our most popular options. It is a non-electric water distiller that boils the water and collects pure steam which allows it to purify water from the ocean, a stream, tap, or even a swimming pool. It can ensure a continual supply of clean water even in disaster conditions. The Survival Still is even recommended by the Red Cross and FEMA.

Our survival water filtration options also include smaller purifying units. For those in the wilderness, or in refuge due to disaster, a portable water purifier or water purification tablets make a great choice. They can ensure clean water no matter where you may roam.

From basic filtration to purification in the most remote areas, PrepareDirect offers the tools to ensure clean, safe water for yourself and your family. Browse our selection based on product type, and visit our blog at LearnToPrepare.com to learn more about how to prepare yourself when disaster strikes.
