I'm trying to find a good comprehensive water filter. I see lots of ads and articles on water filters but lately it seems that they focus more on their ability to filter out bacteria and viruses. This is great but I'm looking for a water filter that removes toxins, contaminants, and chemicals as well. I'm aware that many household filters offer a greater degree of filtering but I'm looking for something that doesn't need to be hooked up to the plumbing. As a prepper I don't want to assume that water from the tap will be an available option or that enough water pressure will exist.
Ideally, I'd like to find something I can use to filter the water from my 65 gallon rain barrel. As a next step (and feel free to add any feedback) I would like to run a water line from the rain barrel (using the raised up rain barrel for water pressure) into the house and then filter it through something that removes ALL contaminants. This way I won't have to go outside every time I need to get water.
