Or just get the kettle on.

Get a big metal bath tub, and get the fire on. That'll sort the bacteria.

Beyond that, it'll be rainwater and the alike.

You miss the point S13, this device cuts your fuel usage by 50%, Instead of cooking food then having to heat water as well you can do it all at once, so if TSHTF and you are cooking off a stove or bottled gas supply your fuel will last much longer.
We used to do twofers in the army IE cook a meal in its tin by heating it in a mess tin of water heated on the hexy cooker.

On do it the way nature does. A big sand filter. Plans are on the main site.

This is so important and we can't rely on technology we have to go back to basics.

Sand / charcoal / aerobic filters are great but they dont heat the water.Smile

I'm even more confused now. A sand filter doesn't heat water up. Are you mixing threads up NR? I saw that coil one before, but that wasn't this thread mate.

I'm all for rocket heaters anyway. Although not in my BOB (for obvious weight and size constraint reasons) I'm still learning to make a full sized rocket heater (screw the rocket stoves, they look annoying. But that's just opinion and I'm sure they are awesome). Skills to be learned!

That's okay mate. It's as your 'signature' says, you can multi-task still, so it's not all bad haha.
