Why filter water when hiking?

An athlete needs up to 3 liters of water per hour* to compensate for his loss (multiplied by the duration). Carrying that much water on atour is impossible.

Unless we ensure that the water points on the circuit are fit for consumption, filtering water is the only way to guarantee drinking water.

Filtering water allows us to: 

• carry fewer bottles = less weight and plastic in the bag
• reduced exposure to bacteria = less risk of gastric disorders
• reduce the risk of water deficiency = less dehydration and fatigue
