Pump Filters

The best personal water filters on the market are the type that requires pressure to work-the Pump Filters. Pressure is typically created by pumping a handle, which forces water through the filter element. Filter elements usually utilize permeable ceramic or hollow fiber membrane elements, and sometimes incorporate a charcoal element which is used to remove bad odor as an additional improvement of the general function.

Ceramic filters element eventually clog and they must be cleaned periodically to maintain efficiency.

 












Membrane filter element also clogs, but they can be cleaned much more easily by back flush device along with the filter itself.
 










Another consideration is how water gets from the filter to your bottle. Most filters use a small hose that secures to the outflow end of the filter, with the end of the hose sitting inside the water bottle. Devices like this require the bottle to be placed on a flat, level surface that does not allow the possibility of the bottle being accidentally kicked over in the process of filling it.

24 deer-hunting skills you that may be help for you

1. Judge Yardage (Without a Rangefinder) One method that’s popular with 3D archery tournament shooters, who must precisely estimate unkown distances, is to break the span down into smaller increments. By practicing to become ultra-proficient at judging 10 yards, for example, they can mentally measure the full distance 10 yards at a time, adding or subtracting up to 5 yards for in-between ranges. It works for gun hunters, too, who can fine-tune their eye to say 50-yard increments in the big woods and 100-yard increments on the prairie. Maybe you have a rangefinder but want to sharpen you skills for those situations when there isn’t time to take a reading of an incoming buck. Okay. While you’re scouting, make a habit of guessing the distance to random objects, such as trees, rocks, stumps, etc. Then use your rangefinder to test your accuracy—which, you’ll find, will quickly improve. –Dave Hurteau 2.

How to Survive Hurricanes, Hurricane Safety Tips, Preparation

WHAT IS A HURRICANE? Hurricanes are large, swirling storms. They produce winds of 119 kilometers per hour (74 mph) or higher. That's faster than a cheetah, the fastest animal on land. Winds from a hurricane can damage buildings and trees. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters. Sometimes they strike land. When a hurricane reaches land, it pushes a wall of ocean water ashore. This wall of water is called a storm surge. Heavy rain and storm surge from a hurricane can cause flooding. Once a hurricane forms, weather forecasters predict its path. They also predict how strong it will get. This information helps people get ready for the storm. There are five types, or categories, of hurricanes. The scale of categories is called the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. The categories are based on wind speed. Category 1: Winds 119-153 km/hr (74-95 mph) - faster than a cheetah Category 2: Winds 154-177 km/hr (96-110 mph) - as fast or faster than a baseball pitcher's fastba...
