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 1 I'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!!!

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.

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

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.

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.
