Whether you take short hikes for a couple of hours or voyage into backcountry wilderness for days on end, you never want to find yourself thirsty, and you always want to have access to clean water.

Even if it looks clean, it could be non-potable water contaminated with viruses, bacteria, protozoa or other microorganisms invisible to the human eye. And despite the Safe Drinking Water Act, tap water can still contain contaminants such as lead, chlorine, arsenic, pesticides and even particles from malfunctioning wastewater treatment. Instead, why not consider giving a water filter bottle a spin?
