I read recently about someone using alum to pretreat poor water prior to filtration/sterilization. It's a flocculating agent that helps clear up turbidity and such.
A search turns up it's use in treating pools. But it doesn't really give me any indication of how I might use it in the wilds. How much alum to how much water. Best way to get the settled bits out of the water or just pour out the top part?
Anyone using it or have some more information?
