LifeStraw Mission Water Purification System

High-Volume Gravity-Fed Purifier for Camping and Emergency Preparedness

There is nothing like having clean water while camping or in an emergency situation. However, packs or bottles of water can be heavy and cumbersome to hold and carry around with you. Getting clean water is a must because nearby rivers and lakes are filled with harmful bacteria that can make you really sick or lead to death if you are not careful.

Modern day water purifiers usually cost a lot of money and need electricity to work. Thankfully, LifeStraw came up with a better alternative. Just like their very popular personal water straw that filters the bacteria out of water, their new water purification system does the same thing. It is perfect for bigger groups who need to have water, and it comes in two sizes.

Best Features

The whole water purification system works based on gravity. You simply have to hang the water filled bag on a tree or somewhere with support for it to hang on and the water gets filtered. The two sizes are 1.3 gallons and 3.1 gallons, which are convenient for families of all sizes.

This is the perfect thing to have in your emergency kits because water is often the most important and hardest thing to come by. This uses absolutely zero chemicals, but it also filters out 99.999% of bacteria and parasites. The system is really easy to fill, and it doesn’t take long for it to filter at all. Because there is a nice carrying strap, this system can be used many times with ease. There are no batteries or electricity needed for this to work, so it is perfect for those who are without power by choice or by circumstance.

What’s Included

When you purchase this you will receive the water purification system, a storage sack, and carrying strap.

Pros

This filters water fairly fast. It can go anywhere from 2.4-3.4 gallons per hour. Over the lifetime of the water purification system you can get 4,775 gallons from it. That is a huge amount of water that could help you to survive over the years. Or, it is just the perfect thing to bring when you are camping, hiking, or backpacking. It is really compact and it works great. The price may sound high at first, but it’s actually very low since it does over 4,000 gallons of water. It is the perfect addition to an emergency situation.

Cons

Some people expressed they had a hard time undoing the dirty water and getting the next batch to filter correctly.

Final Verdict

Whether you’re without power or you just are going on an adventure, everyone needs to have clean water. This system is the perfect way to get that. Plus, LifeStraw is a well known brand that has served many people over the years. You should not hesitate to purchase this.
