Why water treatment is important on the go
Natural water can contain bacteria, viruses or other microorganisms. These can cause health problems.
It is therefore particularly important to treat water properly when traveling, camping or trekking.
Traveler's diarrhea and gastrointestinal problems are often caused by contaminated water.
The most important methods at a glance
Various options are available for water treatment:
- Boil off
- mechanical filters
- Chemical disinfection
Depending on the situation, a combination of several methods can also be useful.
Boil off
During boiling, microorganisms are reduced or killed by heat.
This method is reliable, but requires time, energy and suitable cookware.
Water filter
Filters can remove particles, suspended matter and many microorganisms.
However, not all filters are effective against viruses.
A pre-filter is particularly useful for cloudy water in order to reduce visible particles before the actual disinfection.
Chemical disinfection
Another option is treatment with suitable disinfectant solutions.
BioClean is a registered chlorine dioxide solution for water treatment and is particularly suitable for camping, outdoor and traveling.

Which method is the best?
The optimal method depends on various factors:
- Availability of energy
- Transport weight
- Water quality on site
- Desired speed
- Personal equipment
In practice, a combination often makes sense:
First pre-filter visible particles mechanically - then disinfect the water.
Advantages of chemical solutions on the move
Chemical solutions offer a number of practical advantages when camping and traveling:
- low weight
- Simple application
- Flexible to use
- Practical for camping, hiking and traveling
