11 Best Travel Water Purifiers of 2022

Written by Kyle Kroeger

Are you planning to travel around the world? If yes, a travel water purifier is a must for your health. Here is a list of some of the best options to try.

Are you backpacking across Europe?

Or, are you planning a romantic getaway to Paris? In all cases, you need to be careful about water quality.

On the one hand, most countries worldwide have poor water quality. On the other hand, you’ll find plenty of sketchy brands selling ‘bottled water’ that is repackaged tap water. In both cases, it’s a health hazard.

Even if you’re buying original purified water from a known brand, it can still get expensive.

Why not make a one-time investment instead?

In this guide, I’ll discuss the best water filters for traveling to help you select a travel water purifier for your next vacation.

Via Travelers

Founded by Kyle Kroeger during an inspiring journey through Italy, ViaTravelers was born from a simple observation: while many travel sites existed, few captured the authentic essence of experiencing a destination like a local.
