Survivor Filter PRO - Hand Pump Camping Water Filtration System Survival - Water Purifier Survival

I bought this filter for emergencies. We live in NC and have plenty of water around, but it may not always be clean. If a hurricane or tornado hits, I'll need a backup filter that can get us water. This thing has three filters that can clean up to 100,000 liters of water. That is enough water to keep a family of five thriving for months, which is invaluable in the event of an emergency when fresh/clean drinking water might be scarce. This filter has minor maintenance for cleaning out the filter portions after use. Super easy to clean and take care of and the instructions make it very clear. No batteries are needed, no special equipment to make it work. Just needs a tiny bit of elbow grease and you have clean water. An excellent bang for the buck.I give this filter 5 stars because it does exactly what I want it to do. I have not used the filter in the wild yet. I have taken it out of the package to inspect the parts and make sure it is functional. Great quality control and the filter is a solid little device. The pump works fine and the customer service has responded after I requested to receive their lifetime warranty to make sure all my needs are met. I have no doubt that they'll honor their lifetime warranty on their product and help me if there are any problems with the device.I hope this company gets plenty of customers buying their filters so that they can stay in business and provide products for anyone looking for a reliable filter to get fresh water whether for emergencies or recreation. It's a brilliant piece of equipment and I am extremely relieved to have one in my storage for emergency use and the occasional camping trip. I can't imagine why anyone in the tropical storm regions wouldn't buy one for a backup at the very least. It is very comforting to have something that will keep my family and I hydrated if all other clean water sources fail.I will update this review when I have a chance to use the product.

I was amazed by some of the reviews I had come across (Amazon, YouTube) re the Survivor system and this was after I had picked up a garden variety "filter" for home use at Walmart (which I returned after ordering the Survivor). the Survivor was able to take water that was virtually IMPOSSIBLE to even consider for ANY type use (even bathing) let alone DRINKING and yet it purified the water AND made it taste good at the same time. not exactly the same thing as turning water into wine but this was clearly a close second!I have been using my Survivor (I have both the manual and electric models) for TAP WATER mainly to double clean it (just in case) but also to improve the taste (typical city water) and it works great.compared to buying a Brita or similar home filter that only improves water taste (maybe some filtering as well) the Survivor is overkill in terms of cleaning tap water of pathogens but given the fact that it also acts as a "regular filter" for taste, I think it's well worth the money. Also, if there is ever a situation where I need to get drinking water in an emergency situation, I know that the Survivor can do that, the Brita (etc.) can't.The Survivor is also very compact. it's a great design and I'm a student of good industrial design.I highly recommend this kind of filter over any other "home filter" (except maybe RO units) because it serves double duty -- can improve taste (just like a "regular" home filter) AND it can purify water at any time if you need to do that (including camping out, backpacking, but also travel to other areas where water quality is questionable).I consider the Survivor system to be in a class of its own. a great tool with many advantages.one more thing ...Survivor has had its filter claims verified by an independent lab. it's one thing to claim something but when you have proof to back it up, that helps a lot.this is a tool that not only can make water taste better -- it can save your life.

I stumbled across this looking for an alternative to the expensive MSR ceramic and micro filters that I already own. My sons are now needing their own filters for their Scout trips. I saw all the RAVING reviews and figured I couldn't go too wrong for that price. Boy, was I right! It's slightly lighter than my ceramic and pumps easier. I've only used it on one trip, but it pumped all the water for all three of us, because we all wanted to try it. Our water source was VERY heavy with sediment, but we just let it hang in the collapsible bucket for a bit, to let it all settle. Water had no taste and the filter was easy to use.The only quirk I noted was that the inlet hose seemed a little "too" flexible. On the up, or draw, stroke - the hose collapsed. You really want to wait until it expands again before pushing down and squirting water through the filter. If not, there isn't much water in the filter and it's almost a wasted stroke. So you just take a little time to pump slower. Not a big issue, but I wonder a thicker-walled hose would alleviate that, or just cause more issues.Customer service on this was FANTASTIC! I wanted a spare filter to take with, and I'd forgotten to order one initially. With COVID-19, these things are in HIGH demand. But I went to their website, where they have the ability to notify when something is in stock. I signed up, they notified me later when production caught up, and I ordered. The filter got here 2 days later, with no fuss. Great service! I plan on ordering more of these, both for us and for gifts for other Scouts. Sorry MSR, but you're too expensive!

Bought this after months of research. We didn't know when we would use it, but knew we needed it. Finally had the opportunity to use it, once out of necessity and once just because we could. Water is a lifesaver, take this quality filter with you, and enjoy.
