Question. Considering they have creepy crawlies in them at certain times

water
be made fit for drinking in an emergency?

You boil it first?!
You can buy flasks that filter water, maintained to be 100% efficient in
getting rid of nasties. I have seen a demonstration where water was taken
from a foul ditch, filtered and then drank. Not by me I hasten to add.

Is this the same as those things you can buy for the kitchen? :-(((

We have one of those things in the fridge and my wife did start to use it
for the kettle to 'stop it furring up'. Made a dreadful cup of tea. Very
very bitter to such a degree that I stopped drinking tea :-((
