Good start 😅 Just bought one of these and not used it yet. Surprised how small it is and can give you up to 5000 litres of clean drinking water. Perfect for a bug out bag- amazing.
@@TheBugOutShop Absolutely. They are so small and cheap (for what they can give you) it's worth having two. Wife can carry one 😚 Rather than buy just one and a spare filter, for a little more you have a whole spare unit too in case you break one.
My question is - once you have finished sterilising the filters flushing them through etc, do you disassemble the whole unit again so both filters can air dry? Only problem i see is if its still damp on the inside from the cleaning process would this not hinder its shelf life in storage?
Question, if I don't plan on using this for a while, should I NOT prime it? That way, it last for even longer? Basically this is just going in my SHTF bag. So I'm thinking, there's no need to prime it until it's time to use it. Am I correct? Thanks.
@@TheBugOutShop I read that when you store it for a long time you must al this cleaning do every month, also if you do not use it. And control if it is not dried up. When the filter is dried up then this filter is dead and you can trow it away.
I just bought a Katadyn pump similar in size to that one, took the ceramic filter out to check it and it disintegrated in my hand, got full refund and didn't need to send it back, but new filters aren't cheap, if you can find one. I might be in the market for one of those Leigh 🤔
These have the filter/purifier quality of the MSR guardian (£390) but near the cost of the Katadyn. The filters are where the money is but when you divided the cost by the amount of drinking water you get (5,000ltrs) it works out a lot better than buying or carrying water. Cheers for watching.
People don't seem to appreciate the kind of horrible VIRAL diseases you can catch from water, and are content to use filters instead of purifiers like the Lifesaver. I'm really excited about the Lifesaver wayfarer because of the purifiers (besides the dubious Survivor Filter made in China somewhere) it filters out the smallest particles many other purifiers can let through some of the smallest viruses.
Wait, I'm confused. The product info says "Cleans up to 5,000 liters" but then it says the exchangeable carbon filters are only good for 100 liters ("Exchangeable disc with active carbon - effective up to 100 litres"). Does this mean that the Wayfarer comes pre-packed with a much better carbon filter that is good for 5,000 liters, and the replacement ones are only good for 100 liters? Or do you always have to change the filter after 100 liters?
@@TheBugOutShop You did not answer his question. People do mostly this beacause they try to hidden something. The answer is that all this carbonfilters in this filter are the same and just work for 100 litres or for maximum one month from activated it, so from use it the first time.
@@johnchristopherrobert1839 no prob but chill a bit. I am too looking into bying a filter. Seems to take everything bad but breaks easily (?) At about 100 usd it is among the cheaper ones at worst you get a safe learning experience.
I was expecting you to pull a big eel from the water at the start 🤣
Just bought one and waiting for it to arrive. Intend to use this as a last resort. I need to research storage and spare parts.
Super cool film Lee. Amazing information! 👍🏴 soz. (Leigh) 🤭
So well explained, thank you. I would store my 'dirty' hose separately from the clean one after using it in the stream.
Yes, there is a sperate compartment on the bag for the hoses so not to get cross contamination

Looks a good piece of kit. Do you have a link to your store please?

I think i need one of these, just got to convince my wife, wish me luck
Good luck

I would leave priming it until you use it. It will store in its original state for some time

How many years it will expire?
can use Katadyn Micropur Forte MF 1T clean the lifesaver wayfarer ?

But thanks for your video for al the information and let seeing all this you let see.
Where can i get a green jerry can😮
I only have a blue one🤔
Hi use this link iconlifesaver.com/?wpam_id=130 but if you wait until my next video comes out today you can get huge discounts on lifesaver products.
Is it made in the UK????
Yes, all lifesaver products are manufactured in the UK
🤣🤣🤣
Another useless review of the life saver water filter. No one discusses the filter specifications for instance how many micron is the filter?
Thanks for watching
0.015 isnt it?
