Dear User,
You may want to try the link for IPUMS https://blog.dhsprogram.com/idhs-mpc/
Since these are country specific variables, without this tool you would need to go through each household questionnaire to find this or a similar variable.

The standard model household questionnaire for DHS7 has the question:
AH108 (Recode variable HV225. This variable should be available in most datasets) What do you usually do to make the water safer to drink? Anything else?
A. BOIL
B. ADD BLEACH/CHLORINE
C. STRAIN THROUGH A CLOTH
D. USE WATER FILTER (CERAMIC/SAND/COMPOSITE/TEC)
E. SOLAR DISINFECTION
F. LET IT STAND AND SETTLE
X. OTHER __________
Z. DON'T KNOW
