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.
