1. LifeStraw- $19.95
The LifeStraw is the best personal water filter there
around. It filters up to 264 gallons of water, removing 99.9999% of all the
bacteria and impurities out of it. It is compact and lightweight, at nine
inches long and two ounces, meaning you can take it with you wherever you go.
You can simply pop off the cover, stick it into a questionable water source,
and drink.

What makes it #1?
What
makes the LifeStraw truly special is that it is the only filter on the market
that will plug up when it stops working. This means that it will not let you
drink unsafe water. When you’ve gone through the 264 gallons, you don’t have to
worry about drinking bad water. No other filter does this.
2. Sawyer- $29.95
100,000 gallons. That’s how much water each Sawyer can
filter if properly cleaned, depending on the condition of the water. If you are
constantly filtering extremely dirty water through it, it won’t filter as much.
The Sawyer is also nice because it comes with a water pouch to carry around
water in. You can attach the filter to the pouch and simply squeeze it to get
clean water out. This makes it easy to drink clean water on the go and to
filter lots of water for cooking or cleaning.
What makes it #2?
The Sawyer definitely
provides the most bang for your buck, in terms of gallons of water filtered
versus the cost. It has the potential to provide you with clean water for a
lifetime. However, it may, at some point, allow you to drink unsafe water,
unlike the LifeStraw. What is peace of mind worth to you.
3. Royal Berkey- $299.95
The Royal Berkey is an extremely powerful water filter
that every family should have at home. It filters 6,000 gallons of water
through a gravity fed system. The filters remove dozens of chemicals and
elements that could harm you, as well as bacteria and waterborne diseases. It
even improves the taste of water. For people who know they live in an area with
arsenic or fluoride in their water, filters to remove these are sold
separately, but still fit inside the Royal Berkey system.
What makes it #3?
The Royal Berkey is the best filter we have to clean
water for your home- for cooking, cleaning, and drinking. However, it is not
portable, and is also the most expensive filter on this list by far.
4. Katydyn Hiker- $74.95
Unlike the Royal Berkey, the Katydyn Hiker is very
portable. It’s designed to pit comfortably in a backpack while hiking or
backpacking. You put one end in a questionable water source, and the other end
in a water bottle or other container, and pump the filter. It will fill your
container within minutes. The Katydyn Hiker is perfect for filling Camelbaks or
other containers while on the go.

What makes it #4?
The Katydyn Hiker is perfect for filtering drinking
water while on the go. It’s easy to use and very portable. However, it only
filters 250 gallons, the least bang for your buck out of all the filters on
this list.
The LifeStraw Go uses the same filter as the
LifeStraw, inside a high quality water bottle. You still get all the same
benefits of the LifeStraw- 264 gallons of clean water, removing 99.9999% of bacteria,
and not letting you drink unsafe water. It’s the exact same filter, but unlike
the LifeStraw, it allows you to take water with you as you go. The original
LifeStraw requires you to have a water source to drink from. This allows you to
drink clean water as you travel.

What makes it #5?
The LifeStraw Go has all the positives of the
LifeStraw, and allows you to drink on the move. It has a high quality BPA free
plastic water bottle. The only reason it’s this low- is the bottle worth an
extra $15 to you?
