LifeSaver Wayfarer™

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.

Only bought this as a just in case so cannot really say much

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.

This is an easy to use, compact water filter. The whole kit comes in a neat, waterproof drawstring storage bag and is smaller than a travel cup. The design is extremely portable. The storage bag includes a smaller, separate side pocket which keeps the clean water hose and the outlet cover (when not in use) separate from the water intake hose. Despite it's compact size, this feels robust and of good quality.

This needs comparatively little setup: add the hoses to the correct outlets on the filter; prime the pump (by pumping through 8 litres of clean tap water before first use) and then you're ready to go.

Since we're not going to be going anywhere for a while, I tested this using pond water - which went from a lovely shade of algae-tinged green to crystal clear. I wasn't afraid to drink it and have shown no ill side effects - so (short of getting a water testing kit to check the output) I'm satisfied that this is working as intended.

Used on a wild camping event and it was fantastic. So much better than treating the water with tablets. I think it offers excellent value for money, as it is reusable, lightweight, and very easy to use

Everyone else on the trip was very impressed with it and looking at getting one for themselves.
