For best results, always walk to the East when returning home with water.

To create their bag, they turned to a method of water purification known as SODIS, where PET (made of polyethylene terephthalate - the type of plastic used for soft drinks) bottles filled with water are exposed to sunlight for up to six hours, allowing UV radiation to kill most of the bacteria in it. How about something that takes all the crud out of the water, makes it clear, and taste good?

They say that the material costs for one Solar Bag amount to just $5, A few drops of chlorine does a better job much faster and costs a lot less.

Nothing new. Back in the late 70s I had a similar device called Solar Shower (IIRC).
A 2 gal. plastic bag built exactly like that one. Clear plastic on one side, black on the other. It had a tube and sprinkler type nozzle.
Laid on the sunny deck of my sailboat the water would get way up the the hundreds in an hour or so.
We hung the ‘shower’ bag on the boom over the cockpit and took hot showers.
Terrific little device.
