LifeSaver Liberty
$160.00
Description
The LifeSaver Liberty is a water purifier bottle and inline pump in one. It turns up to 2,000 litres of water from taps, rivers, lakes and streams into safe drinking water, with no chemicals, electricity or hard sucking.
You can carry water ready to purify, or use the 5 ft scavenger hose to pump purified water straight from the source into another bottle or a hydration bladder. FailSafe technology stops water passing once the cartridge is spent, so you never drink unfiltered water by mistake.

Questions
How does the Liberty work as both a bottle and a pump?
Per LifeSaver, you can carry water in the Liberty ready for purifying, or use its inline pump to send purified water into another container, which LifeSaver says makes it ideal for couples. The 5 ft scavenger hose draws water straight from a source, so you keep hands and feet dry and can fill hydration bladders.
What are the Liberty's two stages of filtration?
Two stages, per LifeSaver. An ultrafiltration cartridge takes out viruses at 99.999%, bacteria at 99.9999%, and both cysts and microplastics at 99.99%. Then an activated carbon disc cuts chlorine, lead, nickel and cadmium for better taste and odor, and LifeSaver notes the water stays safe to drink even with no carbon disc fitted.
Does the Liberty screw onto a Nalgene?
Yes. LifeSaver says the Liberty screws right into most wide-mouth water containers, such as Nalgene or Hydro Flask bottles. A flow valve controls the flow rate, transparent windows show the water level, and no strenuous sucking, pressing, chemicals or electricity are needed.
How big is the LifeSaver Liberty?
About the size of a regular water bottle, per LifeSaver: 3.15 x 3.15 x 10 in (80 x 80 x 254 mm), with a dry weight of 15 oz (425 g). It holds 400 ml (14 fl oz), flows at 1.2 l/min, and the cartridge purifies up to 2,000 litres (530 gallons).
Can the Liberty be used below freezing?
No. LifeSaver gives an operating range above 0°C up to 50°C and says to protect the Liberty from freezing once it has been used. The replaceable cartridge has a shelf life of 3 to 5 years from purchase, and LifeSaver covers the Liberty with a 2 year warranty.
