There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
We used this pump on a long backcountry hike into Grand Canyon. It is surprisingly sturdy, easy to use, well designed and easy to clean despite our ineptude. When the pumping got hard we backwashed it and a lovely stream of mud flowed out. Then it pumped so easily again. No macho muscles needed.
It is full of so many thoughtful touches that made it easy to use, carry, clean..... After more than a grueling week of rugged use it still works easily. We are buying another.
As to the reviewer who claimed it passed reddish lumps that stained his hydration bladder, it sounds like one of your Boy Scouts added some iodine tablets to your water bladder. Some of us are old enough to remember using those nasty iodine tablets.
Positives
+ Convenient size for backpacking; plus it is light.
+ Good price
+ Great filter; water was clean and safe
+ Very easy to clean
+ When using, easy to keep the clean water and unfiltered water separate and therefore not get contamination
Neutral
= Takes a lot of pumping to fill a 32 oz water bottle. We typically were filling 4-6 bottles, and that took some time.
= In the streams we were using to get water, it was near impossible to find a spot to set the pump down when pumping. This meant you had to hold it with one hand while pumping with another. Both arms were doing work. Sometimes we could place it on a knee when pumping, which helped.
= Most times we also didn't have a place to put the water bottle down, which meant a 2nd person had to hold the water bottle while the 1st person was pumping. A pump that attaches to the water bottle would solve this problem.
= The end that you place in the water often floated on top of the stream rather than sinking in, especially if there was much of a current in the stream. When it floated on top, the pumping was less efficient because air was sometimes being pumped instead of water. In cases where the water was a little more still, it worked better. I didn't have a chance to compare this to other filters to see if they have the same issue.
2022 Update: Bought this in 2017 for miscellaneous hiking trips. Turned lake water into delicious drinking water. I usually hate the taste even of bottled or tap water but this water was good. Meanwhile, tossed in with my camping gear and forgotten for a while for unrelated reasons, I bought a house in 2020 with extremely hard water. It also has very dry air. I had set up multiple humidifiers but they were leaving a white film all over. I also have a meter that measures particulate matter PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 (used to measure air polution) that measures very small particles of things in the air and humidifiers can increase this when used with hard water. I'd used an under the sink filter, put that tap water into a Brita filter pitcher, and then tossed some doodad into the humidifier thats supposed to remove hard water minerals and even with all that the meter still showed the PM levels rising when the humidifier was running. Remembered I had this filter in with my gear and pumped some water into the humidifier and low and behold the numbers are staying steadily low, not increased even one digit from what it is when the humidifier is off. I'm absolutely blown away. Multiple other filters in succession couldn't do what this filter did by itself. 100% recommend, so much so that I had to come update an already 5 star review just to mention this. You can bet I'll be buying backups of this.

It does the job really well but I'm a bit sceptical about the durability of my unit, the handle sit rather loose.
Edit 1
I've used my survival filter pro for a very long time now and it has proven that it's a worthy companion on my hikes.
I've connected a quick connect from Camelback to my output tube and now at every stop near water I can directly fill up my bladder and stay hydrated.
I've used it in places where the water quality was questionable but I have to admit this little tool has proven that the filtration is very good and on par if not better then the competition.
In places where I really didn't trust the water I've used (after filtering) some drops of hadex or other desinfectant.
My doubts about durability eventually faded away and I hope this one will serve me for my next couple of hikes as well!!!
The other benefit of this unit is each filter can be field serviced (to a degree) and replaced independently if needed, the new filters for my Katadyn are £45 that is the same price as the set of three for this unit but as you would normally only replace 1 of the 3 at a time then the upkeep of this unit is less painful for the pocket.
I used this filter on reservoir water during heavy rain so it was exceptionally cloudy with silt but the water came out clear and sweet.
I can also rate this companies after sales support as during a recent cold spell I was negligent with the filter and it froze solid, as this is something that is warned against in the instructions in every filter I have owned (water expands on freezing damaging the filters from within) I contacted the email address supplied with the product to ask if I should replace the whole unit or just the filters, I had a response the same day that I would only need to replace filters and that they would give me a discount and even provided three Amazon links for the correct filters.
Amazing product even better customer care, buy it you won't regret it

Le deuxième modèle reçu ne pose pas de problèmes. Cependant, il coule un peu d'eau au niveau du capuchon lorsque l'on pompe. Au final, je dirai que c'est un filtre très efficace, mais plutôt fragile.
---
le capuchon s'est décollé à nouveau, après quelques utilisation sur ce modèle (voir photo).
je suis déçu de la fragilité de ce produit. dommage, à l'usage il est pourtant bien pratique.
