Water Filtration

[Brandon Bronco 1]

As of now, the water is safe from bacteria. However, once the update comes where you will get infected from drinking un-purified water, there should be a new way to drink infectious water. As I am aware of, you will be able to boil and sanitize water by using tablets, but i think there should be a water filtration straw as i pictured bellow. This will make drinking from water sources easier as you can drink directly from the source and also from a canister. Let me know what you guys think?

This has only been suggested a million times before. Please use the search engine next time you're feeling brilliant.

Finding something like that in a poor run down country like Chenarus... is extremely unlikely

 y u be rude? He added a different kinda twist. He mentioned that straw like thing, which I have NEVER seen in the filtration suggestions. Besides if it is a run down country they must develop ways to drink water when in need. It could be inc operated into a military zombie or bases because it is something that the military of all people would have, to distribute to civilians (at the beginning of the infection) so they can remain safe by finding dirty water to drink.

Would be nice, but for now we'll have to stick with boiling and water purification tabs.  Hopefully when we get bases/can barricade buildings we'll eventually be able to set up stills to 'automatically' clean water we pour into it.

He wasn't being rude, Lifestraw itself has been suggested many many times before.  By 'run down' he meant poor, and the normal ways they would have to have clean drinking water are already in place (IE Wells and pumps).  Groundwater can be contaminated, but usually by pollutants rather than bacteria.  Surface water is the more dangerous one, and the standard way to deal with that is to boil water.  We already have a cooking system and pots to boil water in.  The military would either have large stills/machinery to purify water en mass, in the field they would use the cheapest method (which would be the water purifier tabs we have now), not issuing each soldier with an expensive item that needs to be maintained.  Tabs are simple, rip open, drop in the bottle, wait the designated amount of time, consume.

true but I sell these at my work, and they are often used as a care packages to places of disasters. so possibly somewhere like Chernarus?

Thanks for the support.

And as I also stated above, they are used as care packages by the U.S government.

You do have a point there. I just learned that they are used in care packages, and as a DayZ player I couldn't help of suggesting it ^_^

Also, we buy these for 8$ a pop, so they couldn't be very expensive to make. However, i have know knowledge on purification tablets.

As I understood :P

I am unaware of the price of the "straw" but as my point is, It wasn't mean to be issued to EACH soldier. Just UN ones that are helping distribute. But I understood what you are getting at. But I have honestly NEVER seen the straw being suggested and I am quite active here. But, could be wrong my good man.

If your store/company buys em for $8 (depending on where they're made) they're probably made for less than a dollar in total materials and shipping eats up the chunk of the 'profit', that and they're probably sold for double that retail.  (checked their site, direct from them one straw is about $20, they do have some other models too like one with it's own bottle and a 'family' sized one).  Maybe they'll be 'high end' loot at crash sites or maybe places like the Cherno International Hotel or even camp sites.

 

Welcome to the forums by the way, little 'pro' tip, use multiquote to respond to more than one post, such as...

Id like to think I'm active myself, but stuff sneaks by all the time.  Id say about 90% of the suggestions made here have either already been suggested (in more or less detail), have been confirmed as something planned, or have been confirmed as never going to happen (zombie players, for example).  In fact sometimes the suggestions are things that are already in the game.

You could make one of these things yourself using cloth and charcoal and perhaps sand. And a straw of sorts, like bamboo or whatever.

 

What's with all the factory-manufactured solutions?
