Portable Water Filtration Systems

The best home water filter for your drinking water would be one that is gravity-fed, non-electric, and portable. Why? We will always have gravity, but we may not always have electricity, especially during severe weather emergencies; and if it's portable, you can take it with you and filter whatever source of water you find, whether it's from the tap or a pond.
As for a filter that fits onto the tap, if it develops a crack, the water pressure will force the water through the crack and not through the filter. Gravity-fed is always the most reliable.

The first link is to Professor James McCanney's web site. He carries the Doulton Water Filter. Doulton is the parent company of the British Berkefeld water filter.
