Default usage

I boil the water, run it through a filter, with some organics and drink it hot. We call it coffee.
I take ice cubes and pour an imported disinfectant over the ice with an imported disinfectant I buy from a NH state distributor. "Scotch on the rocks", but your kids won't like it.

Otherwise, we drink lake water, on the south side of Welch Is., unfiltered.

You can buy 3 gallon counter top jugs with a spigot, easy to use, if your island doesn't have quality water.

When I was a Boy Scout, you could buy water purification tablets at the drug store, one per canteen. Just iodine pills if I remember correctly. Didjanow? If you're slow and careful, you can boil water in a paper bag over a campfire?
Bottled water is way overrated, often 10% arsenic. Check the labels before you buy.
