Gear of the Year
Award, 2007 “If anything good came of Hurricane Katrina it’s the 750-ml LIFESAVER, a new chemical-free water filter that removes 99.999 percent of bacteria, viruses, parasites and other pathogens. Inspired by the survivors’ hardships, Britain’s Michael Pritchard designed it to use replaceable cartridges that clean up to 6,000 litres of dirty water. Simply scoop, pump, and slurp out of a bike bottle-style teat for the fastest filtering available.” Men’s Journal, 2007

Award, 2008 “The Rolls Royce of water filters. The LIFESAVER bottle is incredibly easy to use; the directions of use are simple to understand and apply without much practice. A great safety feature of this product is that when the cartridge has expired, the system automatically shuts off, preventing you from drinking contaminated water. I am very impressed with the build, quality and specifications of this water purifier and see it as a definite investment” Bushcraft Magazine, 2008
