I'm on the 3rd floor, so that could be a good idea!
Any pointers on where to get a good one, please?

If you're in Kampot, go one block towards the river from the Kampot market. There are several shops there that sell all kinds of housewares. One of those shops will have the filter system.

Why is filtered water not 100 % safe?
Unfortunately, even the tiny 0.2 micron holes in most water filters aren't small enough to catch all viruses, heavy metals, or chemicals, meaning you could still get sick drinking filtered water.Nov 3, 2023

Unfortunately its the chemicals and dioxins that water filters cannot filter out of the water supply that are likely to do the most damage to the human body. Take for example the many chemicals , pesticides and fungicides that are used on the land and get into the water supplies. Could use 245 T
Spoiler:
Is 2,4,5-T the same as Agent Orange?
Agent Orange (245T) - Molecule of the Month - December 2000 ...
Agent Orange is the name used by the U.S. military for a 1:1 mixture of the herbicides 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. The name, Agent Orange, was derived from the orange stripe on drums in which the herbicide was stored. Dioxin is produced as an undesired contaminant during the manufacture of 2,4,5-T
as an example , and we know the results of spraying that around in Vietnam.

A water Distiller is the only way to remove all contaminants that need more than 100 degree c to evaporate them. They are left behind after the water is turned into steam at 100 degree c.

Jasper ;

I wish I could get this fear of water and plastic off my mind .
What a difference in price between a single use bottle of water for 1000 reil or
the 20 liter for 3000 reil , - the air conditioned supermarket sells them for more than that
in a box of 24 ! … it tells you the value of water here
Or a “ can “ of perfectly safe beer for 2000

I'm all sorted thanks, everyone.

I paid for 3 bottles to make it worthwhile , when you are down to the last one order 2 more
then you won’t run out even if anything unforeseen happens ☺️😉

A Berkey Filter system might do just fine. All you need are the filters. You can build your own holding/dispenser tank.

a few years back you could get ProVida mineral spring water in the 20L bottles for the same cost as all the rest...if I remember 4000r...Provida is still available in 500ml/1500ml bottles and it does have a different taste than the cheap every day water as do the other mineral ones such as Thansur Bokor (which you seem only to see up the mountain) an Kluen brand....I do mix these in my intake of water to try and get some of the minerals back the cheap, if actually treated stuff, will have removed by the RO process...

the reason you cant get to 20L ProVida seems to be after a flood of their premises when the blue bottles all got washed away they stopped this supply...I remember photos and videos of all the bottles being swept away...
