LIFESAVER Jerry Can Activated Carbon Filters Portable Water Filter (Pack of 5) - Black

Product Information

The LifeSaver Cube was designed with Oxfam to be the perfect disaster response solution, providing safe water to communities who have lost their infrastructure. Its 5 litre storage capacity is ideally suited for families or small groups whilst on camping trips or days out. It’s small enough to be transported or to be stored in a vehicle, or to be used as a water purifier in the home. If you don’t have a shower at all in your van, I would say the Lifesaver is an essential road trip accessory.Being able to filter your water so it’s safe, and then use it to have a decent, pressurised shower, is a MASSIVE deal.

Tested by Independent Test House to exceed NSF P248 compliance standards, for virus, bacteria and protozoan cyst reduction by the US Army Public Health Center (MEDCOM) Unfortunately we cannot ship internationally, including Mexico or freight forwarders. We apologize for any inconvenience.The NSF Protocol P248 was developed with the U.S. Army Public Health Command (USAPHC) based on the EPA Guide Standard, with the goal of providing deployed military personnel the capability to produce sustainable quantities of safe drinking water in any environment.

It also has a shower attachment, which might be the best bit of the entire thing- but we’ll get to that shortly. Tested by BCS laboratories issued 9/02/16 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. This certification gives us the green light to sell directly into the U.S. Department of Defense without any further performance evaluations required,” says Joe Lovegrove, Technical Manager for LifeSaver. “This is a landmark result for us as a commercial business and production facility, moving us into a different league than almost all our retail competitors. It should also be noted that although we tested Jerrycans, all of our filters are made to exactly the same standards using the same materials as those with which we passed this test.” LifeSaver water filters will remove microbiological contamination from urine, however as there is a certain amount of salt which cannot be removed Indeed, many vanlifers choose to do away with a water system at all and just use the Lifesaver Jerrycan for all their water needs.

Specifications:

LifeSaver improves an age-old off-roading staple — the jerrycan — with modern filtration technology. We tested it over a hot Texas summer of dirt roads and daily adventures to see if it really offers the peace of mind it advertises. The LifeSaver Jerrycan proved durable throughout the testing period, which included residence in the camper shell of my Tacoma during a hot Texas summer and the almost daily driving down rough dirt roads that are part of my commute. LifeSaver Jerrycan Water Purifier: A Good Buy? Exceeds NSF P248 compliance standards by the Independent Test House for virus, bacteria and protozoan cyst reduction by the US Army Public Health Center (MEDCOM) Lifesaver has a filter which inserts easily into one side of the tank… and a tap which allows you to get the water out easily, while the jerrycan is either standing upright or lying on its side.
