BUYING GUIDE: What is the best filter system for my family?

Portable water filters offer a great alternative to purchasing bottled water, especially when travelling with a group or family. Portable water filters are packable, lightweight and take away all contaminants in the most questionable water sources. The number one advice we hear most when traveling to foreign countries is “don’t drink the local water.” Fortunately, our portable water filters can change that.


Why Survivor Filter?

Bottom line: superior triple filtration. With 2 membrane filters and a carbon filter.  Both Membranes can be back washed and re-used and the Carbon Filter allows for better tasting water and heavy metal filtration. Also, our test results blow other filters out of the market. We can go on but recommend you checking out the specs below for more details.

What do portable water filters remove from water?

There are a lot of nasties lurking in water, and here are a few that our portable water filters can remove and what to watch out for:


  • Bacteria: Typically found in human and animal fecal waste, examples include: e.coli, salmonella, staph and the like. 
  • Protozoa:  Typically found in freshwater sources such as lakes, rivers, streams, and stagnant water.
  • Sediment/Dirt: Sand, silt, dirt, plant and animal matter that can be separated from your water. 
  • Chemicals/Toxins: Mostly found in municipal tap water where man-made products such as oil, gasoline, chemical byproducts may seep into water. 

Can a portable water filter be doubled in emergency situations?

Our portable water filters will remove most organic pathogen found in the USA and you can find our independent testing on this here: Product Reports
