What have done towards your prep?

Yes, I just built a big filter system using 2 food safe 20L buckets and Berky filter cartridges. It is good for a ten year supply for drinking.

it cost me about thirty pounds, your money, to build the system. I have been using it for a couple of months now. No problems to report.

Everyone should have a filter since SHTF, or just normal catastrophes, can render the utility water unsafe for consumption.

Over here the first thing that the disaster response agencies do when they enter an area is to seize the public swimming pool, dump in a load of pool shock, and use it as their water supply while restoring utilities to an area.

Consider the fact that it is a lot easier to store a filter system than to store the water!

It is not going to stop raining from what I can tell, so by using bin liners and whatever containers, wheelie bins, kiddie pools you have lying around you can capture water and purify it, which makes more sense than storing vast supplies of water that you will still need to purify.
