Which filter should you choose, and which one works best? Let's find out. The right water filter depends entirely on where and how you plan to use it. These two filters are almost identical but differ in a few ways.
Water Purification Filter Mini
This product includes a water filter, a straw and a storage case. The filter is light, easy to pack and has a lifespan of about 1,050 gallons (4,000 liters) of filtered water.
Besides being effective against bacteria from lakes and streams, it is effective against fluoride in drinking water. That makes it the ultimate choice if you are traveling to destinations where fluoride is more common in tap water.
Clearwater portable water filter with accessories
This product includes 1 water filter, 1 silicone hose, 1 collapsible bottle and 1 cleaning syringe. The filter has a lifespan of about 1,320 gallons (5,000 liters) and is effective against bacteria from lakes and streams.
With all the extra accessories, it is the ultimate choice for heading into the wilderness, camping or hiking.
Summary
With Clearwater you get more accessories and about 260 gallons (1,000 liters) more filter life than the Mini, which makes it an excellent choice for the outdoors.
The Mini gives you more uses, since in addition to bacteria it is also effective against fluoride. That makes it an excellent choice if you want a water filter for destinations where fluoride is common in drinking water.
