Having safe drinking water is paramount in an off grid situation. You and you alone are responsible for the quality of your water. The last thing you want is to be sick out in the middle of nowhere from some pathogen which could either make you really ill or even kill you. So far, the Berkey water filter system has been a good choice for me on my homestead. It was recommended by many other homesteaders and now I see why. Its ease of use, minimal maintenance and long lasting filters make this an excellent choice for a clean water system. The Travel Berkeys small size also makes it super ideal for a tiny house or apartment.

Water Boiling recommendation from the CDC:
"CDC recommends making water microbiologically safe to drink by bringing it to a rolling boil for one (1) minute. This will inactivate all major waterborne bacterial pathogens (for example, Vibrio cholerae, enterotoxigenic Esherischia coli, Salmonella, Shigella sonnei, Campylobacter jejuni, Yersinia enterocolitica and Legionella pneumophila) and waterborne protozoa (for example, Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia lamblia, and Entamoeba histolytica). It will also be effective for waterborne viral pathogens such as hepatitis A virus, which is considered one of the more heat-resistant viruses. An increase in boiling time to three (3) minutes is recommended if viral pathogens are suspected in drinking water in communities at elevations above 2 km. " [2 KM is 6561.68 ft in elevation] (https://www1.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/cda-pubs-cdi-1998-cdi2209-cdi2209j.htm)
