The owners have travelled with children of their own and can suggest options for resorts as well as adventures. Items are available on line.For a pure filtration unit, eliminating the issue of chemical residue, recommends a Katadyn filter, which is a mini option with ceramic filter - the finest going. Feels that, on the basis of a large independent study in the US, a lot of purifiers leave iodine in the water. If you do want a combined filter suggests the Trekker Travel Well or Pocket Travel Well which are used by the military and manufactured by Primac. Also planning to introoduce the Aqua Pure Traveller from Thirstpoint and likes the idea of bottles with the filter element contained in the top so the water can be drunk through the filter. An iodine sleeve can be added if the water is very dubious. If you choose to boil suggests either a kettle or if a little more off the beaten track on a trip of under a fortnight cook and mess tins with blocks for heating up. On longer trips suggests the Optimus 8R Hunter as good and basic, without feet for children to trip over and though not as elegant as more modern ones, less fiddly or given to flareups.
