Independently Tested
Best in Class
In an industry that lacks standardised regulation, LifeSaver has always put rigorous, independent testing at the heart of our DNA. We subject our products to the toughest testing standards available worldwide, something that our competitors do not do. This is why we are comfortable to describe our products as Best in Class
Consequently, all LifeSaver products are tested at independent laboratories using the full protocols created by NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) NSF P231- Microbiological Water Purifier Standard, which far exceeds the HWT (Household Water Treatment) Scheme for safe drinking water. Our LifeSaver Jerrycan and LifeSaver Bottle have been further accredited with the full NSF P248 Military Operation Microbiological Water Purifier Standard, which is widely recognised as the ultimate water purification standard.

How LIFESAVER technology works
Fill. Pump. Drink.
LifeSaver products are portable water purification devices that are pressurised with a built in hand pump. This air pressure forces water through the approximately 15 nanometre (0.015 micron) hollow fibre membrane pores of an ultra filtration cartridge and out through the exit nozzle, leaving microbiological contamination behind. LifeSaver purification technology essentially provides a physical barrier against viruses, bacteria and cysts. No chemicals or electrical power is required to operate them.
This, combined with our unique and patented FailSafe technology – which ensures that the product stops working when the filter needs to be changed thereby protecting the user – delivers a product range that is 'Best in Class'.
LifeSaver Is Not Suitable To Treat:
Sea Water
Coffee or wine
Grey water
Microcystin toxin
Urine (due to salt levels)
