Portable Water Filter Is Perfect For College Dorm Room


I remember the good ole days in college and I have some great memories of living in the dorms with my friends. It was as if it were our very own apartment. Independent living at last! I also remember the lack of water anywhere. No water fountains, no sink except for the bathroom, nothing. I now know a portable water filter would have been perfect for college dorm living.

Bottled water was definitely too expensive for all of us at the time and besides that, most bottled water comes from a normal faucet so it’s not filtered anyway.

There are some disgusting things in tap water that can harm your health so let me tell you about it. Despite what you think the city water officials actually filter out, here is what you need to be wary of: lead, mercury, pathogenic bacteria, cysts, parasites, herbicides, pesticides, trihalomethanes, nitrates, nitrites and rust.

That is enough nastiness to cause some major health problems over time. We all want and need pure, clean water. A good portable water filter is the perfect solution to this problem. It is small enough to fit onto a small counter or any other tight space inside the dorm room.

It doesn’t require electricity or water pressure because it’s a gravity water filter. You just pour the water in the top and it starts to filter. It’s so portable that you can take it anywhere. Whether you’re camping, attending sporting activities or hunting, it doesn’t matter.

Even missionaries and the Red Cross use systems like these. If you’re in a dorm room now or plan to be in the near future, I would start your research now to find the right one for you. Do yourself a favor and don’t buy the cheap ones at the local store because they don’t even filter out lead.

In the long run, a quality portable water filter is the best choice and you’ll pay less money over time because you don’t have to replace the filters every two months like most of the cheap filters.
