Clean water is a critical necessity to survive for more than 3 days.
Please give some thought to solutions on my blog.

I'm on well water and use a five gallon capacity auto-feed water distiller in the home to purify the water of all contaminants. I do not want inorganic dissolved minerals, bacteria, or any other contaminants in my drinking and cooking water.

In an emergency, I have a backup ZeroWater pitcher with filters. It actually filters water to zero ppm but it is not designed to remove bacteria. "The ZeroWater 5-stage filtration system is designed to be used with municipally treated, potable drinking water. It does not directly remove bacteria or viruses, but it is very good at removing other contaminants such as metals and Total Dissolved Solids (TDSs) from the drinking water."


For survival purposes, I don't think I've read anyone suggest Urine Therapy, or "looping", as an option. There's a whole thread on the subject for those who may be interested:

How about using the process of making colloidal (ionic) silver to make water safer to drink? It is not recommended to use impure water to make colloidal silver. However, in a survival situation where the quality of water is in question, the method of making colloidal silver may be a way to make a glass of water safer to drink. All you need is a glass of water, a 9 volt battery, two rods of pure silver (.999 pure), and about one hour. See picture below.

Here's a simple way to make high quality colloidal silver in a glass using pure, distilled water:
