Water filters

After boiling it and allowing it to cool you can then run it through a filter designed for filtering out metals and chemicals

Not even boiling can make chemicals or metals safe nor will iodine or clorox.

Might consider one of the gravity filters that campers use - plenty to choose from - Katadyn makes an 8 liter one that sells for about $100.

Moved to Tech Issues forum from DIY.

Iodine....that's the real way to purify water in the outback.

Yeah, I already have the cans and a 12v pump with 10’ hose. It’s sometimes just a hassle to find, especially in places that sell bulk water. We’ve had them offer to deliver 10k gal but that’s a bit much.

Depends on how much water you need. We have a Katadyn Expedition that we primarily use on river trips.While it is extremely expensive, it is the gold standard for drinking water filtration. We will settle any sediment in a 5 gallon bucket using alum, pump water at about a rate of 1 gal/minute and then add 3 drops of chlorine bleach per gallon. After ~2 hour contact time we add 3 drops of hydrogen peroxide per gallon and drink.
