Just remember that it only handles bacteria, and is incapable of handling chemical and viral contamination, meaning you should only use it within a narrow band of circumstances; outdoor recreation, in North America (and similar settings), where the water you come across has neither chemicals nor viruses.

Do these go bad? If I let it sit in an emergency bag for years?

Great to know. So it only works on like, say, a river?

Thanks.

I doubt there is a portable solution like this. Removing chemicals usually requires other chemicals and enzymes, and a bunch of time (for the chemicals to separate and settle) You would need a mobile water processing plant like they use at oil spills. You could do it yourself, but it might be a week before you can drink anything and hoping you did it correctly.

Wondering the same thing. Is there a shelf life on these things? Anything inside that would degrade over time?

I've heard the shelf life when DRY is really long. I've heard mixed opinions about putting it up wet…some people consider these "one time use" unless refrigerated later. I guess the same is true of a lot of water filters, though.

These would make great items to barter with if the SHTF. This is a fantastic price!

Because North America is so well known not to have any chemicals in the water at all.

Yea extremely narrow, in an emergency situation where you got lost you may as well risk the runs rather than dying, and that's if you could find a puddle or river.


Also the 4 pack of the generic is often $25

Backpacking a sawyer mini is great and can be setup to fill bottles without having to suck or squeeze water bags. The lifestraw go bottles are alright as well, I use them a ton for day hikes, it works like these but also has the bottle to just scoop up water.... On lifestraws just remember you HAVE to saturate the straw before water flows easy, otherwise like many posts here you'll see people complaining it's impossible to suck the water through.

If you want something for really unknown water sources and filter just about anything then get a grayl..

Their point is that you shouldn't think you can just drink any water anywhere with this. Don't drink water in the sewer for example.
