Lifestraw® Outdoor Mission Compact Water Purifier (12 liters) Blue

This is a revelation! Camping for a month by a bog in wildest Scotland we filled the LifeStraw from the small waterfall every day and filled the van tanks - we had water to waste! No more driving miles to find a tap! The same on our live aboard boat on the Saonne river in France - clean 'household' water all the time! Fantastic!

Filtered out all ecoli and coliform bacteria from the local stream water at our remote research site (West Africa), based on lab tests done on parallel water samples. Very helpful!

good product

Great, very helpful

Excellent product, concept and social enterprise.

I don't go camping a lot, but I am one of those people who likes to have things like this on hand in case of an emergency where clean water may not be available - I live in FL and you never know what the aftermath of a hurricane might be.I tested this with my tap water. I was pleasantly surprised that the tap water actually tasted different (cleaner) when passed through this filter. We have hard water, but I've never tasted a difference using regular Brita filters, or even the Lifestraw straw.Since some of the bad reviews said it had a plasticky taste, I let the water sit in the bag overnight before drinking to see if that was true. There's no plasticky taste after 12 hours. I tried it again after 18 hours, and I could taste the plastic that they were talking about. I will try again after cleaning the system.Other bad reviews said the water wasn't trickling out fast enough. At first, I wasn't getting water out of it, but then I *gasp* read the directions and flushed the red backwash valve, and what do you know, it worked beautifully. If you are expecting it to flow like your tap at home, I guess you might think it was slow, but I'd be worried that it was ineffective if it came out any faster. So far, this is my favorite of all my emergency water supplies.

This is a great product. Very easy to use. We were surprised to discover how dirty the drinking water on our tap really are.

I cannot imagine how our recent group camping trip would have gone without this. It's amazing. The first couple of times of use, the flow rate was a little slow but it picked up very quickly, specially after our daily cleaning (as per instructions). We got the 12L version and it was more than enough for the four of us.

Je suis très satisfaite de cet article. Je l ai utilisé lors d un bivouac en suède en pleine nature, grâce a ca j ai pu boire l eau du lac sans problèmes. Je le recommande à toutes les personnes qui devront être en autonomie complète.

Fantastic item, a must for all adventure thirsty guys
