LIFESAVER™ bottle - the world’s first all in one ultra filtration water bottle.

 I developed the LIFESAVER after I saw the tragic waste of life and serious problems caused by the lack of safe drinking water in the wake of the tsunami in December 2004 and then again the following year on August 29, 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana. I could not believe it. I really felt that something had to be done. It took a little while and some very frustrating prototypes but eventually I did it.

LIFESAVER bottle uses a highly advanced ultra filtration system, originally developed for industrial applications. LIFESAVER bottle will remove bacteria, viruses, cysts, parasites, fungi and all other microbiological waterborne pathogens. It does all this without the aid of any foul tasting chemicals like iodine or chlorine. As I pointed out to a friend one day “using chemicals to kill bacteria is not always effective and anyway all you are doing is drinking a chemical cocktail with some dead pathogens in it.”

Whilst inventing LIFESAVER bottle I also invented FAILSAFE technology. In simple terms this means that when the cartridge has expired it shuts off, preventing the user from drinking contaminated water. Just change the cartridge and continue to use.

LIFESAVER bottle has been designed to help save lives supplying people with clean pathogen-free drinking water. Treated with care and respect you can expect many years of trouble-free use.

winner - best technological development for future soldier system enhancement


LIFESAVER bottle was recently voted ‘Best Technological Development for Future Soldier System Enhancement’ at Soldier Technology 2007, the world’s premier soldier modernisation forum (www.soldiertechnology.com). LIFESAVER bottle will revolutionise the battle space, reduce carried weight for the soldier, and lessen the traditional logistic demands of drinking water faced by militaries around the world.

“The Lifesaver bottle is an innovative water purification device that can remove debris, bacteria and viruses from water utilizing a unique membrane filtration system. With a 15 nanometre diameter filtration, it effectively creates fresh water instantly and safely for a soldier or marine. Water is weight! The LIFESAVER bottle provides water scavenging capability and fulfils a critical need of sustainability on the battlefield.”
