Water storage and treatment
Start with a safe stored supply, then select treatment for the hazards in the source. Carrying, filtering and disinfecting water are different jobs.
The checks that decide the fit
- Count gallons for every person and day.
- verify food-contact suitability.
- identify the contaminant before selecting a treatment.
