If you're living off the grid or homesteading, you may not have access to public drinking water, so you'll need to purify yours to make sure it's safe to drink. Here are 20 ways to purify water when you're living off-grid.
Clean Water Basics
Water for drinking needs to be clean and safe, but so does water for brushing your teeth, cooking, washing food, or even making ice. There are a variety of ways to make water safe for drinking. The CDC has provided an infographic to give you a quick overview of water purification basics.
