I need to get some type of filtering system. For home use so it doesn't need to be very portable. There is a drainage ditch behind my house that could come in handy if my water supply runs out. Probably significant amounts of hydrocarbons and other crap from street runoff so would need carbon media or something similar. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the leads!

I'm not sure the units labeled as being for camping would be big enough for what I want. If things get bad enough that I'm pulling water from the ditch, I'm probably going to be supplying water to other people.

The Lifestraw Community in all-metal construction would be what I'm imagining I need/want. But metal may be going a little overboard; plastic might be OK. I'll definitely be investigating the LC further.

I've also been looking at stills. A pressure cooker and some copper tubing would work and be easy to put together in an emergency but would use a lot of valuable fuel.
A solar still wouldn't need any fuel but it looks like a unit to supply 6 -12 people would be too large to be practical unless the installation were permanent.

I may need to scale back on the specs and go for something just big enough for the dogs and I.

A solar set up large enough to supply 120v through an inverter and batteries is a permanent set up on your roof.

For stills. Check out Mile High Stills. Have a friend that has the stainless still with a thumper. I almost bought one for myself.

That's a whole 'nother project.

Nice stuff! Their pot stills are in my price range but those reflux stills are too much $$ for me.
