Make a particles filter and then add the appropriate amount of Chlorine Dioxide solution. You can store Chlorite and acids in bulk for not much money to last a lifetime. Make your own CDS.

I use copper to clean my pool. By the end of the season, the copper rods are down to nothing.If the water comes from a somewhat clean source use copper vessels to kill bacteria. Or simply put a piece of copper into a bottle and leave it overnight, no need to boil anything. Best to buy copper ingots and cut them into strips, since they are 99.9% pure copper and will include only trace amounts of toxic elements. Copper will keep your water clean and prevent algae etc from forming.
I got some water filters from Lifestraw (those LifeStraw Water Filter Bottles) and one from Lifesaver (this one LifeSaver Portable Water Filters | Shop | LifeSaver Jerrycan 20000UF), they are by far the most convenient way of getting clean drinking water. I use them all the time when out of house, and you can never have enough of them. You can fill them with the most disgusting, filthy sludge and out will come perfectly clean, drinkable water. Doing that will obviously dramatically reduce your filter lifetime.
I'm buying one everytime I have some extra money, because in a shtf scenario those will be more valuable than anything else. You'll get a gun for one of those, and the owner will let u f*** his daughter.
Depends the area you're in. We got here a lot of natural water springs in my area, the water quality there is even better than the bottled one.You're still going to have to boil the water.
Thank you for posting this. I have read about these homemade filters but can never remember how they are made. Just printed it out. I have granular charcoal already at my BOL purchased for another use. This method will do nicely if/when my Berkey filters are exhausted and no longer available. I fear this will be an extended BO scenario.You're still going to have to boil the water.
The filter is just to get the solids out of the water.You're still going to have to boil the water.
