Tom,
Yeah, that's the problem with the solar stills - too little output.

There are lots of approaches, and all have one or another problem. It's almost enough to make one stay in the US in a city with reliable water supplies. Almost, but the "call of the wild" is too strong. If the PuR thing doesn't work out, we will just have to do a lot of boiling and pump filter that gets cleaned a lot (with backup replacement cartridges to go into the filter). Either that or buy cases of bottled water from a reputable supply (except Tanzania does not have a very good plastic recycling program). Looks like there will only be about 3 days where we may have to deal with the mudholes, so it may be workable to use the pump with overnight settling and decanting.
