Pretty interesting.

I've seen/used similar systems. Sure is amazing what people have come up with in the last few years.

Re: Life Saver Water Bottle...A Must Have (Added Video)
Very interesting.

But what about that filter after many uses? It traps bacteria, viruses, cysts, parasites, fungi and all other microbiological waterborne pathogens...so does all that nasty shit just sit in the filter and fester?

 Quoting: Avian


Well, looking about on the site, their faq answered my original question. The "dirty" side of the filter will indeed allow bacteria to grow - a required step to prevent this is to occasional perform a front-side wash (per manual), fill with normal water and empty it again or simply use sterilizing fluid.

On another note, the unused shelf life for the filters is 3 years. So, it's not a simple matter of stocking up on these for an indefinite period. I probably wouldn't use this thing for normal daily use, but in an emergency situation. But how often does that really happen to most of us? If you buy this now for future use, what do you do with it if there was no need to use it within the 3 year shelf life?

car, house, health insurance premiums are paid every year and we rarely use them...same with fire extinguishers...but it makes sense just in case...water is the same way...especially if your area is prone to natural disaster or extended power outages...you have to weigh the risks
