My dad is traveling to Kenya within the next month or so. Will this work on even 3rd world countries water? Not just stored water.

It will work on any piped water, for sure...or water from a natural source i.e. river/lake.

As far as I know, this will work on all water-borne pathogens. I used it to purify water that I got out o a swamp in Georgia.

He would also need their Frontier Filter Pro to remove organic debris and large organisms. Treat the water then filter it. Also take any standard water bottle to treat the water and then attach the filter. The Frontier Filter Pro actually work much better as a drip filter without that dumb biteme device but you can remove it from the Pro version unlike the cheaper one. Everyone going to Africa, Mexico, etc. should have one.

yes, it will work. I would wait twice as long with very dirty water. in kenya you will probably be drinking mostly bottled water. p.s. giardia isn"t that bad

I purched this for my "bug out" box so that we will have drinkable water anywhere. I have traveled to many asian countries and I would not worry about useing this, (as long as you pick out the bugs and other unwanted things) that seem to be in alot of other country's water. A little word to the wise, if possible boil any water first if possible, and then follow the directions on the bottle, but I would not worry much about drinking any water after useing this product. Happy traveling!!

Not sure what you mean by Stored Water ????I have read where it was used when backpacking and the water was what was available at that time. It can be a stream , lake , retention pond , Cattle water tank that is gross , mud puddle , anything where a person can get water from. Some of them a normal person would bypass but when water is scarce you get what you can. My main water supplies are Swamps , Ditches , lakes , Springs , Rivers , Creeks and any water supply found in a semi Tropical area ( Florida ).It the water is dark or dirty ( Not coming from a spring ) or has a lot of stuff ( leaves , twigs , branches )in it I filter it threw a bandana to get the floating pieces of trash out of it and then treat it.

That is exactly what I bought it for.I have rinsed it out and ran water and bleach through it for 3 days. storing water now, i will test the drink-ability in a month.however if/when the water supply runs out, i'm sure it'll be fine.hehe

Excellent question, most likely as it worked for me in many African countries!!!

Yes, it should work very well in the Caribbean. The only time the water temp isn't the greatest is in the winter when the temp of the ground water goes into the low 60s. Otherwise, it's perfect.

I have used it in Nigeria and still do now when I go over there.It works just fine.I expect it should work in the Caribbean as well.

I purchased this for my brother-in-law to use in Africa. Provided you have all the necessary chords to project from your laptop or USB device, this should work wherever you intend on using it. I would just encourage you to plan ahead and be sure you have all the necessary equipment. Happy viewing.

Theoreticaly yes. As long as its pure rainwater and hasn't been contaminated it should be fine. That would depend on method of collection though. When in doubt distilled water is a cheap and safe solution. Tap water is a big no as is anything with high mineral content. I would avoid downspout collected water.

This is really not the best forum to get an answer to such a critical question. This is a very important issue for your family, and you need to do some intense research on your own, evaluate the information you find, and come to a conclusion that you can be satisfied with. You'll find that some sources will answer yes. Specifically, this page ( https://www.safariquip.co.uk/brands/british-berkefeld/faq-british-berkefeld-gravity-water-filters/ ) directly answers your question, but you need to find information from more than one source. Ultimately, it is you (not Briish Berkefeld, not Amazon.com) who will have to answer for your family.

Yes it filters out the impurities from the water ...Although I do not travel to other countries anymore you may drop the company it's self an e-mail they may have the answer to your question Otherwise I have not had any issues with this product and it has been awesome for me

Ah, the old Tanker trick. Yes, it will work. I do the same thing for my son, though he learned very young how to get water out of the camelbak

Sorry for my first reply, second look at the device does indicate it handles 100 to 240 Volts at 50 to 60 Hz (Cycles per Second). A little more research indicates the Kenya power source normally is 220 to 240 Volts at 50 Hz (Cycles per Second) so it appears the adapter will work but another problem appears which is the two prong AC plug on the charger probably will not mate to their wall plug so you will probable need the adapter plug see this web site ( http://www.adaptelec.com/wa7-travel-plug-adapter-for-england-ireland-etc-type-g-bs-1363-p-3.html ). Good Luck.

This is a portable unit that stuctures water not a filter for another unit. You just pour unstrctured water into the top and have another container under the funneled part. I usually use two water bottles. It works perfectly. You can carry it in your purse or suitcase when traveling. I wouldn't put it in the checked suitcase but in the carry on suitcase because I would worry about it being damaged in route. I have been extremely happy with mine for drinking water and water I use for my plants. You can definitely taste the difference between the unstructured and structured water. I would highly recommend it

Hi! It should, but I haven't checked yet. I would need to send the water for examination which is not cheap as I haven't find any other cheaper way to do it. If I will have some results, I will try to update the review.

Yes, it should work. I use mine in Kenya. Used to be a British colony so all our power is built on the British standards.

I do take one when I travel to hold water in the sink. It has worked well in South America and Europe, on cruise ships, and all around the US. Don't know about Southeast Asia, but don't see why not.
