I backpack a lot. After a recent trip where I ran out of water and the only source I could find looked a bit dodgy, I decided to ditch my standard filter and go purifier. First time out last weekend on the same mountains I'd previously had issues with water quality, the difference was obvious. The water from the wayfarer actually tastes better for a start. The dodgy water source was drinkable and I can honestly say no bad stomachs at all. I wouldn't have trusted my previous filter here and in fact went without previously. It's the way forward from here on for me.

We have limited space in the campervan and I wasn't sure about the quality of the drinking water on some sites after reading reviews, so the cube gives us peace of mind. Easy to use, easy to setup, pure drinking water.

LifeSaver Bottle Portable Water Filter and Purifier:

I've been aware of this product for about 10 years now but it may be much older.

You don't necessarily have to drink straight out of the bottle. You can pour the filtered contents in to something else if you like. Therefore using the 'Lifesaver' as a through-filter.

If you are in a desperate situation or can't get water in to the bottle easily, you can use the sponge at the bottom of the bottle to soak up water and then squeeze the contents in to the bottle. This may not be appealing, but I did say if you are desperate. So for example, if there is a shallow puddle on the side of the road that you can't get the bottle in to and no other water source nearby. You can dip the sponge in to the puddle and then squeeze the contents in to the bottle before following the pressurisation steps.

Because this is made out of plastic, you will have to be careful with it if using it out on the field. The last thing you would want is for it to crack.

I think the long term use-case of this product makes it worth while if you spend a lot of time out doors and are maybe traveling light. You will get a lot of use out of it before you need to buy replacement filters.

A most to have if you love overlanding, camping, out door activities or as simply as road tripping, great products made of Hight quality food grate plastics and the water activated charcoal filter makes the water taste delicious and refreshing
I do recommend this lifesaver Jerry can

Still have to try it!

Wayfarer is a great addition to my Jerrycan, When I am backpacking, it is light and compact and is easy to use always knowing the water is safe to drink.

This is a great Prepper item to have at my disposal. I've taken it apart to see how it works and I believe the claims are accurate and I am confident it will be effective at making scavenged water safe to drink. In addition to this I think its built to a very good standard ensuring its outdoor and rugged capabilities. The only negative aspect per se its its sheer size and weight.

A great filter rapped for longer storage, guaranteed freshness

A great addition to your hiking, camping, or a bug out bag. Lightweight quick and easy to use filtering water into storage bottles or bladderpacks.
You may find cheaper but do your research for performance. I also have the Lifesaver Cube which is also great.

Unfortunately the tap was faulty on our Cube, however the Lifesaver customer service was excellent and they immediately despatched a replacement.
Happy to recommend this product and the company, hence five stars.

Great service & quality- nice UK 🇬🇧 firm !!

Quickly despatched and excellent product.

This is a very well-engineered filter and purifier bottle. The operation is simple: just unscrew the bottom, fill it with water, screw it back on, and use the inbuilt manual pump. The main filter is supposed to be good for 6000 L and the activated carbon filter for 250 L. A replacement carbon filter is about £8, and the main filter is about £90, so if you are planning long-term use, you will need to factor these costs in. The price at the time of review is £174.99, which is at the higher end but I believe it's resonable given the robust construction and simple design with minimum moving parts to get the job done.

Nice little fire starting kit

Good enough to get you through any hike with no water reserves.... thats a fact.

Ok you know the drill, you can use this on big lakes, you can use it on streams... even slow moving streams.. you can use it on all those areas you see on the hike/bike but you can not use it on small stagnated pools, canals, etc... even the best filter would not take that on. These water filters are for the water that you would think about drinking in an emergency but would not because the chances are you will get sick, but with this bad boy,,,, you wont, you just wont.

You can drink from those places you are uncertain about and you will be fine, and there will always be those places available so as long as you have this you will be ok.

This is a good one, a really good one. I like it and it has become a permenent part of my hiking go bag. The adventure bag... this is is, the one bit of kit I would NOT wander without.
