Questions
What is the rated life of a Jerrycan ultrafiltration cartridge?
LifeSaver rates this cartridge for 20,000 litres, which is 5,300 US gallons, before replacement. Water passes through it at about 4 litres per minute at 0.6 bar, though LifeSaver says the composition and turbidity of the source water change both numbers. It improves clarity in glacial, cloudy or muddy water.
What percentage of pathogens does the Jerrycan cartridge remove?
LifeSaver lists 99.99% of viruses, 99.9999% of bacteria, 99.9% of cysts and 99.99% of microplastics. It says an independent test house tested the cartridge to exceed NSF P248 compliance standards for virus, bacteria, protozoan cyst and microplastic reduction, so it covers parasites as well as microbes.
Which LifeSaver models take this cartridge?
Yes. LifeSaver says this ultrafiltration cartridge is compatible with all LifeSaver Jerrycans and can be fitted to any of them. LifeSaver also offers a foil wrapped version and a Graphene:Ultra replacement cartridge for the Jerrycan, plus replacement carbon filters, tap and pump.
When should I swap the Jerrycan cartridge?
LifeSaver points to two signs. The FailSafe automatic indicator signals when the cartridge needs replacing, and a reducing flow rate means the filter is approaching end of life. LifeSaver suggests having a new cartridge on standby before a long camping or overlanding trip. Shelf life is 3 to 5 years from date of purchase.
Does the Jerrycan cartridge need chlorine tablets?
No. LifeSaver says there are no wait times and none of the unpleasant taste you get with chlorine or chlorine dioxide: you fill the Jerrycan, pump it and drink. Product materials and water effluent are both BPA and BPS free, and the cartridge is manufactured in the UK.
