Portable water purification

Portable techniques for purifying water are used for hiking, camping etc. or for use in rural areas or emergency situations. Common techniques include boiling, disinfection with tablets or ultra-filtration using a small hand pump.

In addition to this "portable water purification" may also include residential, commercial or industrial water treatment systems that are regenerated off site (by others). These systems are most commonly used for deionization in industrial applications or softening for residential applications. Also known as Service Deionization (SDI), industrial companies use these portable systems for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, the user has a small application and can not justify the expense of having regenerant chemicals such as sulfuric or hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide on site for safety and or manpower reasons. There may be waste water discharge limitations that make owning and operating an in-house deionizer (also known as a demineralizer) too expensive in comparison to the outsourcing of regeneration.

In residential applications a water treatment company delivers portable softener exchange tanks to a household. These softener tanks treat all or some of the water entering the household and remove hardness minerals. They are exchanged on a pre-determined schedule so the household has softened water on a on a continual basis. Although not as cost effective as owning a water softener, portable water softeners require no maintenance by the home owner; furthermore there is no discharge of brine to septic or municipal waste treatment systems.
