Default Keeping water butt water safe for drinking?

Just remember that I said "water purification" not "water filtration".

If you want to drink the stuff, you will need not only a filter but at
least a UV system to make the water safe to drink



Bio sand filters are effectively used for purifying dirty water for
drinking.

I guess there is also the option of adding a tiny amount of bleach!
