Overland Journal Completes Water Filter and Purifier Test
Overland Journal publishes the most comprehensive and decisive water filter and purifier review ever conducted in North America. Twelve units were tested and evaluated by our staff scientist using an accredited laboratory.
Prescott, AZ, October, 2009 – The Fall 2009 issue of Overland Journal contains a 20-page comprehensive water filter and purifier test that evaluates the units for 4-wheel drive vehicles, adventure motorcycles, and overland bicycles. The test, performed by Graham Jackson, reviews 12 different water filters and purifiers from MSR, General Ecology, HydroPhoton, Lifesaver Systems, Katadyn, Cascade Designs, 3M, and Doulton.
Clean water is one of the most valuable resources on the planet – humans simply can’t survive without it. Every overland excursion relies on the availability of clean water – therefore it is important that overlanders be aware which system is right for them. The tests were designed not to verify or refute manufacturer claims but rather to evaluate real world performance. Lab tests were focused on three areas important to overlanding: elimination of organisms, elimination of turbidity, and reduction of foul taste and odor. Cost, build quality, serviceability, effective lifespan, applicability to overlanding, and efficacy were all evaluated.
The tests were performed with the support of Wibby Environmental, a lab that provides proficiency testing standards to the water treatment industry for EPA compliance.
The Fall issue is available at www.overlandjournal.com or by calling (928) 777-8567.
