LIFESAVER Jerry Can Activated Carbon Filters Portable Water Filter (Pack of 5) - Black

Product Information

This 18.5-litre tank is capable of taking the murkiest, most disgusting water… and turning it into something safe to drink almost immediately. No boiling, no chlorine, no fuss. We recommend storing dirty water, either in the Jerrycan or in other storage containers, and filtering through the Jerrycan as and when clean water is required, to prevent recontamination of previously filtered water.

The LifeSaver Jerrycan was designed to store and carry dirty water. We recommend storing dirty water, either in the Jerrycan or in other storage containers, and filtering through the Jerrycan as and when clean water is required, to prevent recontamination of previously filtered water. One of the big hurdles in remote overlanding is securing a potable water supply. Of course, the more remote the objective, the more complicated this becomes. Carrying large amounts of drinking water requires space and weighs the vehicle down, negatively affecting handling and mileage.

And the showerhead accessory made it convenient to rinse off and wash dishes while the Jerrycan sat on the open tailgate. A second person pumping allowed continuous showering or washing with a constant flow rate. Lifesaver has a filter which inserts easily into one side of the tank… and a tap which allows you to get the water out easily, while the jerrycan is either standing upright or lying on its side. LifeSaver water filters will filter out the microcystin(blue-green algae) bacteria but not the toxins and chemicals that the bacteria secretes in water Tested by BCS laboratories issued 9/02/16 based on an adaption of NSF/ANSI P231 Protocol. These units are tested with two different types of water to challenge the filtration capability beyond the standard use. All figures quoted are taken from the stressed challenge phase of the test imitating sewage contaminated water.

The second time I praised the LifeSaver was when our dog, Mac, decided to roll in a puddle. A disgusting, wet, muddy, smelly, horrible puddle. (Get a dog, they said…) One of the most frustrating things about long-term or full time vanlife or overland travel is finding clean, safe drinking water.

Indeed, many vanlifers choose to do away with a water system at all and just use the Lifesaver Jerrycan for all their water needs.

We tested it over a hot Texas summer of dirt roads and daily adventures to see if it really offers the peace of mind it advertises.
