Incredible filter to have for emergencies or camping/hiking!
I bought this filter for emergencies. We live in NC and have plenty of water around, but it may not always be clean. If a hurricane or tornado hits, I’ll need a backup filter that can get us water. This thing has three filters that can clean up to 100,000 liters of water. That is enough water to keep a family of five thriving for months, which is invaluable in the event of an emergency when fresh/clean drinking water might be scarce. This filter has minor maintenance for cleaning out the filter portions after use. Super easy to clean and take care of and the instructions make it very clear. No batteries are needed, no special equipment to make it work. Just needs a tiny bit of elbow grease and you have clean water. An excellent bang for the buck.I give this filter 5 stars because it does exactly what I want it to do. I have not used the filter in the wild yet. I have taken it out of the package to inspect the parts and make sure it is functional. Great quality control and the filter is a solid little device. The pump works fine and the customer service has responded after I requested to receive their lifetime warranty to make sure all my needs are met. I have no doubt that they’ll honor their lifetime warranty on their product and help me if there are any problems with the device.I hope this company gets plenty of customers buying their filters so that they can stay in business and provide products for anyone looking for a reliable filter to get fresh water whether for emergencies or recreation. It’s a brilliant piece of equipment and I am extremely relieved to have one in my storage for emergency use and the occasional camping trip. I can’t imagine why anyone in the tropical storm regions wouldn’t buy one for a backup at the very least. It is very comforting to have something that will keep my family and I hydrated if all other clean water sources fail.I will update this review when I have a chance to use the product.

Survivor filter serves “regular” water use
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.

Works well in the Swiss Alps
Bought this after months of research. We didn’t know when we would use it, but knew we needed it. Finally had the opportunity to use it, once out of necessity and once just because we could. Water is a lifesaver, take this quality filter with you, and enjoy.

Solid pump, but somewhat hard to use in the field
We used this pump on a 5 day backpacking trip in Rocky Mountain National Park.Positives+ Convenient size for backpacking; plus it is light.+ Good price+ Great filter; water was clean and safe+ Very easy to clean+ When using, easy to keep the clean water and unfiltered water separate and therefore not get contaminationNeutral= Takes a lot of pumping to fill a 32 oz water bottle. We typically were filling 4-6 bottles, and that took some time.= In the streams we were using to get water, it was near impossible to find a spot to set the pump down when pumping. This meant you had to hold it with one hand while pumping with another. Both arms were doing work. Sometimes we could place it on a knee when pumping, which helped.= Most times we also didn’t have a place to put the water bottle down, which meant a 2nd person had to hold the water bottle while the 1st person was pumping. A pump that attaches to the water bottle would solve this problem.= The end that you place in the water often floated on top of the stream rather than sinking in, especially if there was much of a current in the stream. When it floated on top, the pumping was less efficient because air was sometimes being pumped instead of water. In cases where the water was a little more still, it worked better. I didn’t have a chance to compare this to other filters to see if they have the same issue.

Great Filter definitely worth a buy
EDIT: This review has been updated to address my concerns about the listed weight. Previously it was stated the filter was 8 oz. However my own measurements were around 12-13 oz. After posting my initial review I see the manufacturer has now updated their website to list the current version at 12.8 oz, so I am giving this filter 5 stars!The filter seems to work fine – I’ve tested it on multiple occasions and it does what it is supposed to do.I do have one gripe, but this hasn’t actually been an issue yet – the pre-filter isn’t really a pre-filter per-se… It is a 0.1 hollow fiber filter (similar to a Sawyer or BeFree) that then goes into a carbon filter and then another finer 0.01 hollow fiber filter. That means if your water isn’t pristine, the hollow fibers of the “pre-filter” might get clogged up with gunk just like a Sawyer would. However, I have not yet experienced this problem yet; I am just basing this on my own experiences with identical 0.1 hollow membrane type filters – they all do this. The solution of course is to place a coffee filter or bandana rubber banded around the pre-filter before you pop it in the stream, lake, stock pond whatever. This is just my opinion, but a real pre-filter would have a removable and user cleanable fine-mesh protecting the hollow-fiber element that goes directly into the water in order to protect clogging. See MSR Trailshot or MSR Guardian for what a mesh pre-filter looks like; the purpose of them is to keep silt and other large debris out of the hollow-fibers. Again, easily remedied with a coffee filter here for a fraction of the price of a Guardian.Anyway, I have put this thing into a couple nasty pools of water – one was chock full of algae. The other one was from a spring that was piped into a nasty rusty bucket full of mud and other debris. I was able to get reasonably clear, decent tasting water both times and this is a huge morale and confidence boost on long distance hikes. I have previously filtered from the same algae ridden source with an MSR Trailshot, and the water was still kind of green and tasted foul. Not so with the survivor filter – from the same source there was still a tinge of green to the water but it tasted totally fine. I say if you are concerned with the lightest weight possible, then this filter may not be for you – it weighs 12.8 oz. But if you are sick and tired of smelly green water from nasty sources that, while technically are safe to drink after filtering with a 2oz Sawyer, and want your filtered water to actually taste, smell and look pretty close to tap water, then I would wholeheartedly recommend this filter.

Clean water is the #1 priority in an emergency
Great little water water purifier to have on standby for emergency use. Unit is compact, well built, and comes with a zippered pouch. It’s easy to operate, clean, and re-pack for future use.

Great Filter, Easy to Use, Need one more Hand
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.

Top Grade Filter
This is one of the most effective and sturdy water filters I’ve seen on the market. The price is unbelievable for what you receive. For the other doomsday prepers out there, let’s do some quick math. The component in this filter that goes first is the carbon filter, it isn’t the most important part, but it’s definitely nice to have to improve flavor. It goes out after 2,000 liters. The average person needs about 2 liters of water a day. So divide that 2,000 by 2 and you have 1,000 days. That’s about 2.7 years this filter will for last one person before the LEAST important component is considered in need for replacement. For anyone out there thinking, “Well I have a family of three so”. Okay that puts a damper on things as that is a lot of water that needs filtered so I would suggest getting two for several reasons. One, if one of the filters is damaged beyond use (which I see being unlikely) you have a back up. Two, faster water filtration since you can run two filters at once (put those kids to work!). And three, you really can’t be to careful so like I said if one breaks you can scavenge the parts from the broken one and the usable one will last that much longer. To those worried about filtering bacteria and viruses, this thing will do it! That 0.01 microns is really small. However if you still have concerns like, “I don’t want to poop myself to death”, then boil the water after filtration, it’s a bit over kill in my opinion but hey, whatever works right? This is the filter that will keep going and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good water filter.

Great little filter
I’ve used this pump for seven years. Works great. If the sediment filter gets clogged, you’ll see the hose collapse and output drop. Took me a min to figure out why it wouldn’t pump. Easily fixed if you smack it on the ground a few times.
