Lifesaver Water Bottle 6000UF
LIFESAVER® Water Bottle 6000 UF (ultra filtration) contains approx. 750ml of water and is capable of filtering processes up to 6000 litres of clear water. Manufactured in Great Britain and tested by The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine to UK, EU, USA and WHO compliance standards. Using this portable water filter bottle you may enjoy clean filtered water for camping, hiking, traveling, or, during a boil water advisory. No need for: UV sticks, iodine tablets, boiling are all eliminated by the remarkable LIFESAVER® ultra-filtration bottle that functions better, faster and easier.LIFESAVER® is certified and tested to be the World's first, portable, water filtration bottle capable of removing: bacteria, cysts, viruses and waterborne pathogens without chemicals. Tough, effective and durable enough for the military the LIFESAVER® bottle is now available for recreational, survival, humanitarian and domestic use. Is it safe to drink from natural water sources in outdoor areas? It may surprise us to realize that apart from man-made pollutants there are potentially harmful microorganisms: bacteria, viruses, cysts, parasites, fungi and protozoa, often termed "pathogens" present in outdoor water sources, even in remote areas. Invisible in "clear" water, they're measured in particle sizes described as microns, or even smaller nanometres - there are 1000 nanometres in 1 micron , or, micrometre.
What do the LIFESAVER products remove and how does it work?
LIFESAVER® Bottles utilize a patented, high-tech filter and ingenious, self-contained pump to purify water using hydrophilic hollow fiber tubes to filter all microbiological contaminates from water. Additionally, the purified water is streamed through an activated carbon filter, reducing a broad spectrum of chemical residues including: pesticides, endocrine disrupting compounds, medical residues, and heavy metals such as lead and copper. Foul taste and odor commonly found in water, such as chlorine and sulfur are removed too and the result is clean, sterile water. Filter life and is directly related to the turbidity of water passed through the filter cartridge.
LIFESAVER bottle removes all micro-biological contamination from water. Both LIFESAVER products protect against cryptosporidium and cholera and testing verifies that even the smallest of viruses were removed.
The smallest bacteria measures 200NM (nanometres) whilst the smallest virus measures about 25 nanometres. The ultra filtration membranes in the LIFESAVER Ultra-Filtration cartridge have pore sizes of only 15 nanometres, this means that no contamination can pass through into the drinking water.
The pump creates pressure within the bottle which forces water through the membranes leaving the dirt and contamination on the other side of the membranes.
Your LIFESAVER product comes with an activated carbon filter. This is designed to reduce chemical residues, Inc: pesticides, endocrine disrupting compounds, medical residues and heavy metals.
LIFESAVER® for Portable Reliable and Safe Drinking Water
LIFESAVER® products purify water in excess of EPA standards and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine tested and certified that the LIFESAVER® Bottle is compliant with the National Sanitation Foundation’s stringent military protocol NSF P248 – Emergency Military Operations Microbiological Water Purifiers. That's why the product is used by the British Army (among others) to accommodate in situations where clean drinking water isn't available. This easy to use, high-tech device renders water safe and sterile to drink, regardless of how filthy and contaminated it may have been.

* 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.
