First Need XLE Elite Canister - 302220

A couple of these will save you and your family's lives. A month's supply of prepper food is useless without clean water. I've used these camping and they are stellar. Pricey, sure. But if you ever need to get clean water from a source you wouldn't drink from directly, these filters are worth their weight in gold.

There are longer lasting (meaning they filter more water) but These are used in some very extreme conditions so you gotta give them that

This system makes potable water from any freshwater source. Easy to use and very safe. No chemicals are ultraviolet light are required, because bacteria and viruses are simply filtered out. My wife and I used this as our only source for drinking and cooking water for a week with no problems. I pumped 5 gallons of water in 15 minutes. It is expensive, but in my opinion worth it.

I bought this device for our emergency survival supplies. We live in southern California about six miles from the San Andreas fault and about 15 miles from the San Jacinto fault, which has been active in recent years. We are preparing as much as we can for "The Big One." Having a supply of drinking water would be crucial. It is not easy to respond to how well we like the product because we haven't used it and hope we never have the opportunity to use it. Each filter canister is capable of filtering and sanitizing 180 gallons of water. I bought four extra canisters.

First needs is the best. Outperforms all the rest. I had algia water to filter. Another filter could not do it. This one made the water crystal clear and drinkable. Great replacement for my old faithful first needs. Trust me and it is the finest made.

Wil do true job but way overpriced

My First Need is for camping, but I've moved to a place where I need to filter drinking water, so now use it weekly. A bit of arm pumping exercise, but oh yeah the water tastes so much better.

This is the cannister for the First Need Purifier. I am an avid hiker and backpacker. I have used the First Need Purifier for years and it ranks up there with the best filters on the market. I have used it in all types of water (including a cow pond), and have always found it to be safe no matter the water condition. It is a great system for back country travel .
