Tech
The LifeSaver Bottle 6000UF is a microbiological water filter that uses ultra filtration technology to filter out viruses, bacteria, cysts and parasites from contaminated water sources. LifeSaver technology filters out bacteria to a minimum of Log 6 (99.9999%), viruses to a minimum of Log 4 (99.99%) and cysts to a minimum of Log 3 (99.9%) as specified by NSF Protocol 231, based on recommendations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

* Tested by BCS laboratories issued 5/01/16 based on an adaption of NSF/ANSI P231 Protocol. These units are tested with two different types of water to challenge the filtration capability beyond the standard use. All figures quoted are taken from the stressed challenge phase of the test imitating sewage contaminated water.
**Volume of water filtered by the bottle and flow rates dependent on the composition and turbidity of the feed water.
PVUK –
I have used these in multiple environments, both with dirty, murky water and susptect water sources.
Probably THE best water filter on the market!
Easy to use and most importantly, peace of mind whthe source is in doubt.
With Emergency Preparedness in mind, I would thoroughly recommend this to all.
When the chips are down, Water will be THE most important resource.
The carrying strap is very useful and the design is pretty good overall. Only drawback is the actual capacity (750ML). In my opinion, a full Litre would have been a lot better and for the price, should come with a lot more carbon filters too.
Having said that, it is THE filtration system I would choose as my number one choice.
