Survivor Filter PRO - Portable Hand Pump Survival Water Filter - Outdoor Water Filter Camping

I bought the water filter for an upcoming trip involving a lot of trekking and potential limited water supplies. I am also conscious of cutting down on plastic waste.The filter is very easy to set up, clean (with no chemicals, unless you want to use vinegar), back flush and store away. The triple filter, micron filtration and sheer volume prior to changing parts really sets this filter above it's competitors. It's small and lightweight, easy to use and has a pretty decent steady flow rate, without requiring too much effort. It doesn't require you to lie down flat on wet ground, trying to suck water through a little straw either.The various parts are easy to replace if required and are cheap compared to competitors as well as lasting a lot longer. I'm buying a spare carbon filter as that "only" lasts for 2,000 litres vs. the other filters which seem to last forever! I tried to get hold of some spare hoses as well, but the UK Amazon store were out of stock. I contacted the company directly who could not have been more helpful and accommodating - the customer service was great and something that seems to have gone missing from most retailers these days, so kudos to these guys!Their website also has useful tips on how to use the product and how to stop the parts freezing in sub-zero temperatures (tip: shake the filters out as much as possible and then keep them close to your body in your bag, or in your coat).I did a lot of research on the best water filter beforehand and this won hands down with bloggers and trekkers and has so far lived up to the hype.If I was to be overly critical, the only minor issue I can find is that the hoses give the water a very slight rubbery taste, but I'm sure this will wear off with time and I'm willing to live with it if it gives me clean, fresh water! Also the taste is not as strong as with my camelbak.

I have owned and used a number of different filters from various manufacturers including Katadyn, Sawyer, and General Ecology and this beats them all in the important (to me) features, firstly the filtration size is one of the smallest on the market and with three stages of filtration this gives peace of mind in use it's small, lightweight but sturdy with a comparable flow rate to the Katadyn Vario but at half the size and weight, There is nice attention to detail with this unit the clip for the inlet hose has one large 'tooth' that provided a secure hold on a threaded water bottle neck and a hydration bladder, it also has a protective sleeve that doubles as a cup and when fitted for travel would give storage room for a few small survival essentials (purification tablets, waterproof matches and some tea bags)The other benefit of this unit is each filter can be field serviced (to a degree) and replaced independently if needed, the new filters for my Katadyn are £45 that is the same price as the set of three for this unit but as you would normally only replace 1 of the 3 at a time then the upkeep of this unit is less painful for the pocket.I used this filter on reservoir water during heavy rain so it was exceptionally cloudy with silt but the water came out clear and sweet.I can also rate this companies after sales support as during a recent cold spell I was negligent with the filter and it froze solid, as this is something that is warned against in the instructions in every filter I have owned (water expands on freezing damaging the filters from within) I contacted the email address supplied with the product to ask if I should replace the whole unit or just the filters, I had a response the same day that I would only need to replace filters and that they would give me a discount and even provided three Amazon links for the correct filters.Amazing product even better customer care, buy it you won't regret it

Bought this as hiking/camping filter for the family, and as prepping emergency filter unit. Had to wait for so a little over a month since it was sold out, but a really excellent product and worth the wait. Have not tried it in really dirty water or anything, and I'm hoping I never have to - but here's what I likeVery sturdy, high-quality build - I'll admit I was expecting it to be more "plasticky" but is very solid. I also like the case/cover it comes with, makes it easy to just throw in a bag. Price/performance ratio unbeatable - was expecting to have to settle for lower filtration performance as I didn't want to splash out on the more expensive products / brands, but fortunately I discovered this product in time. Took the opportunity to buy some replacement filters, particularly the carbon filter I'll expect to use a few of (they last 2000 l acc to specs, whereas the UFs last 100000 l...). Could potentially backflush and clean the carbon filter units but I'm not taking any chances, at least not when the replacement filters are a reasonable £15.

Haven't tried it out yet, looks sturdy and well made. The pouch is a bit thin for survival gear, no biggie though. The one thing I found a little bit concerning is that the pump plunger was stuck and I had to use considerable force to get it moving the first time. Once unstuck, though, it moves freely enough. I think the plunger o-ring was dried out, which is not very reassuring. I should probably replace it before my mountain outing. All in all, looks good, feels good, would recommend it.

Had issues with a few. Different filters after a few months so will. Update but upto now I got to say this is really good. Small. Easy to use. Leaves fresh tasting water, and just really convenient. We live out doors traveling so this really is amazing equipment to have

We had a 7-person backpacking group go on a 2-night, 10-mile trek in Arkansas. Day 1 didn't have any water sources until we finished 6 miles. This pump worked great to refill all our bottles (6+ liters). It went pretty quick and we didn't have any issues operating it. The water tasted clean and didn't have any aftertaste (we filled from creeks and the water looked clear and clean to begin with). We chose this one because it specifies 0.01 micron filtering vice some of the others just go down to 0.1 micron. Party members who used it included a 40+ year old man and an 11 year old girl. The outlet hose includes a little clip that's supposed to keep the hose in the container, but it didn't hook on to our Nalgenes or Smartwater liter bottles, so it really helped to have one person hold the outlet hose and while a separate person did all the pumping. This also helped quick transitions and fills for all our bottles. We also lost the little clip when one of the more enthusiastic youth swung the hose around to dry it out and it flew off the hose...so now it's a two-person job regardless.

El producto llego tres dias despues del plazo previsto. Por lo demas, no tiene mala apariencia, pero aun no lo he probado realmente.

I've used it on multiple occasions with different grades of poluted water.It does the job really well but I'm a bit sceptical about the durability of my unit, the handle sit rather loose.Edit 1I've used my survival filter pro for a very long time now and it has proven that it's a worthy companion on my hikes.I've connected a quick connect from Camelback to my output tube and now at every stop near water I can directly fill up my bladder and stay hydrated.I've used it in places where the water quality was questionable but I have to admit this little tool has proven that the filtration is very good and on par if not better then the competition.In places where I really didn't trust the water I've used (after filtering) some drops of hadex or other desinfectant.My doubts about durability eventually faded away and I hope this one will serve me for my next couple of hikes as well!!!

Le produit a l'air très bien. Cependant, lors de sa première utilisation, le capuchon de sortie d'eau intégré à l'ultra filtre interne s'est décollé. Je suis obligé d'appuyer d'appuyer avec le pouce, si je ne veux pas que l'eau gicle de partout ! Je renvois, et j'en recommande un autre.---Le deuxième modèle reçu ne pose pas de problèmes. Cependant, il coule un peu d'eau au niveau du capuchon lorsque l'on pompe. Au final, je dirai que c'est un filtre très efficace, mais plutôt fragile.---le capuchon s'est décollé à nouveau, après quelques utilisation sur ce modèle (voir photo).je suis déçu de la fragilité de ce produit. dommage, à l'usage il est pourtant bien pratique.
