|  Water Filter? Hello, we're going to be living in India for about 7 months, sept-March. We have a 2-year old son. Is there any value/use to bringing a portable water filter? Are there effective filters one can buy and use in India for home use? Or, are we stuck boiling water? From what I understand we should worry about the water, but if anyone wants to try to disabuse me of this notion, pls feel free. Thanks.  |

| There are filters you can buy and use in India, so no need to carry one from your hometown. Alternatives to a filter are boiling the water or using bottled mineral water. A third alternative in the form of using purification tablets also exists, but the water smells of chlorine. You should certainly be careful about the water, particularly for your two year old child.

| Another option could be the Miox pen (www.miox.com) . Larger version of this technique have been in use for a long while , and seems well documented. Needs batteries and common household salt for operation.Is supposed to leave no aftertaste. I´d like to hear from someone who has used this, as it seems to be one of the most weight efficient solutions around. |
