HOW IT WORKS
Stage 1: Cotton Filter Pad
The first stage of filtration comes in direct contact with your water source
to block out large particles. It can be reused up to 1,000 liters (264 gal).
Stage 2: Ultra Filter
Located inside the straw, independent tests have shown this filter can remove
99.999% of tested viruses and staph. Blocking pollen, algae, giardia, e.coli,
protozoa, cryptosporidium, bacteria, and toxins. At 0.05 micron, this filter
can be reused up to 100,000 liters (26, 417 gals).
Stage 3: Carbon Filter Mouthpiece
Finally, remaining contaminants get trapped in the carbon filter, which will
reduce heavy metals, and chemicals, and improve water taste and odor. The
mouthpiece can be reused up to 1,000 liters (264 gal).
CLEANING THE FILTERS

PORTABLE WATER FILTER
TIPS & TRICKS
Say NO to salt water
All of our filter systems are made to filter fresh water sources, or municipal
tap water only. Some examples of fresh water sources include: lakes, rivers,
streams
and ponds.
Use as a squeeze system
Screw any 28mm threaded standard disposable bottle or water canteen to the bottom of the Survivor Filter and squeeze through the water. SURVIVOR CANTEENS™, a durable, collapsible 33 oz. pouch that rolls up when not in use and clips to any backpack with the included carabiner is a great option. Available on www.survivorfilter.com.
Winter usage
Ensure you keep your filter insulated in your jacket or sleeping bag in sub- zero temperatures. Be sure your filter is also completely free of water before storing away. If you ensure the filters are completely free of water, then the risk of damaging the filters are much lower.
Air dry it out
Storing away? Disassemble completely and air dry for a minimum of 24 hours, then store away. Perform a vigorous shake test to see if there is any excess water left inside.
TDS Testing
If you’re looking to test how well our filter works on pathogens, we recommend testing on water from the outdoors that hasn’t been treated with chlorine (ie. tap water). Pre-test the dirty water, run the water through the filter, then test again to see a dramatic TDS drop.
We’ve got you covered
Tested in the USA to NSF/ANSI standards to filter: bacteria, staph, parasites and virus to 99.999%. It also significantly reduces heavy metals, making it safe to use in most natural bodies of water throughout the world.
