filling The LIFESAVER Dualpump™ offers soldiers the significant tactical advantage of being able to fill the LIFESAVER hydrocarry UF from any water source, without having to remove it from their back. This speeds up the time taken in obtaining water and reduces the vulnerability of the soldier to enemy interdiction.
spraying Incorporated within the Bulldog bite valve is a quick turn spray valve which provides a cooling mist of sterile water. In hot arid conditions this additional feature which can be directed almost anywhere is a great way of cooling yourself and others down.
pressurising
Pressurising the LIFESAVER hydrocarry UF is simple. Pumping the Dualpump a few times is all it takes to pressurise the system. The ruggedized Dualpump is designed to be easily stowed away in a pocket or pouch when not being used.
storage The LIFESAVER hydrocarry also comes in a LITE version for situations where ultra filtration is not required. Weighing as little as 190g (6.7oz) and available in 2-litre or 3-litre capacities, the LIFESAVER hydrocarry LITE is 60% lighter than the existing equivalents and with its unique ‘fold and role’ design reduces in size by 80% for storage.
drinking The revolutionary single-action Bulldog™ bite valve prevents leaks and drips traditionally associated with conventional bite valves without the requirement for an additional shut off valve. Because the hydration pack is pressurised it is easier for the soldier to drink water without expending significant effort, thus improving hydration and alertness.
cooling LIFESAVER hydrocarry UF incorporates the latest in Chillwick™ technology which, by using the principles of evaporation, draws heat from the water in the drinking tube, delivering cooler water to the soldier. It does this by absorbing water through the outer sheathing of the drinking tube where it is held by the unique Chillwick gel. This water then slowly evaporates from the gel drawing heat away from the drinking water, through the thermally conductive plastic and away to atmosphere. Chillwick™ technology is also incorporated into the fabric of the hydration pack helping to keep the water cooler.
