The lifestraw family 1.0 is a tried and tested system for developing countries. Simple, cheap, reliable and good filtration. Nothing fancy, but a very good workhorse. This system is to be used in a home setting; where you just use a jug to fill the system and let gravity do the work.

Not sure if you can still access it, but this course is a very good introduction to water treatment and storage (the short-term storage is also very important and often overlooked): https://www.coursera.org/learn/water-treatment/home/welcome

The course also discusses the lifestraw family system (and other common systems like the Tulip system, local build systems, etc).

The comments I read here are people comparing it with different kind of systems. A filter straw or squeeze filter are designed to be mobile and light. The lifestraw family 1.0 is designed for home use and does that job well.

You can always get a siphon type, where the hose needs to get up and out of the first container and then go into another.

If you want some practical knowledge about water filtration and storage, i recommend having a look at this course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/water-treatment (free, if you just review the course)
