This Survivor Filter is now my favorite. I am beyond thrilled that I was afforded the opportunity to review this product at a reduced price in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. We as a family are trying to slowly build our preparedness up. It’s a wonderful thought to know that in an emergency, and you are our of water, that you can find water safely for your family in other ways. You never know when a bad storm can strike, shutting you off from your water supply and you’re ability to get regular drinking water. These are also perfect and light enough, to take hiking and camping with you. The same holds true for long car trips. And these are only a few scenarios. We, as a people, tend to take our basic necessities for granted. Just take a moment and imagine, what if. Especially if you have a family that depends on you. That’s a sobering thought to me and my husband.
This Survivor Filter has become my favorite because of it’s size and replaceable filters. I just love the fact that I can use replaceable filters instead of throwing out an entire unit. This unit uses three different filters. The first stage being at the bottom of the unit. The first filter that the water will pass through is the mesh filter. The second stage is the Ultra filter and the third and last stage is the carbon filter. The give you great instructions on cleaning and replacing these filters with the unit. They also have a website: www.survivorfilter.com that has everything you need to know about this straw. I like having a back up source of information for when I lose my paperwork, lol. The bottom of this filter straw has threads that will fit to a 28 mm bottle, which is a the size of a soda bottle, not a regular water bottle. This way you do not have to continually bend down to the fresh water source. You’ll just have to fill a bottle and be able to drink standing or sitting. This will help save your back. The triple filtration filters down to 0.05 Microns. That filters out a lot! Only use this on fresh water. This filter cannot turn salt water into drinking water.
A couple years ago a hurricane slammed into Haiti. These poor people didn’t have fresh water for the longest time. Absolutely devastating to the people. Many people ended up dying from disease brought on by the lack of clean water. These people ended up surviving on filter straws like these, while they were waiting for a fresh water source to be brought back to them. Fresh water really equals life. You cannot have life without it.
This Survivor straw is so easy and convenient to use. There is minimal waste since you can clean and replace the filters. They do suggest cleaning the filters, as described in their instruction manual, with vinegar. Years ago, I was an in home nurse for a baby on a vent, and more. We used to sterilize her equipment in vinegar. You need to have things soak for a minimum of 24 hours to sterilize in vinegar. I could not find a negative in this Survivor Filter. I highly recommend them. I will be getting more for my family.
