Description

The LifeSaver Lifeline is a straw-style personal water filter for drinking straight from streams and rivers. It is about the size of a large tube of toothpaste and weighs 3 oz, so it fits a pocket, a pack or a glove compartment.

Its ultrafiltration cartridge filters up to 5,000 L, and a replaceable activated carbon filter reduces chemicals and heavy metals and improves taste. There is no shelf life and no need to store it damp: dry it out after a trip.

Why it works

  • Removes 99.9999% of bacteria, 99.99% of parasites and 99.99% of microplastics, per LifeSaver
  • Carbon filter reduces chlorine, lead, nickel and cadmium
  • Reduces turbidity of glacial, cloudy or muddy water
  • Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI 42, 401 and 372
  • FailSafe: flow slows when the cartridge needs replacing
  • BPA-free case with lanyard

Fit

No vehicle fitment. Fits a pocket, pack or glove compartment.

Note: LifeSaver lists bacteria, parasite and microplastic removal for the Lifeline, not viruses.

Accessories: optional Squeeze Pouch (600 ml) and Gravity Bag, sold separately.

Questions

Why doesn't the Lifeline remove viruses?
LifeSaver says viruses are much smaller than bacteria, parasites, sediment and microplastics, and a filter fine enough to catch them needs a pump to push water through. The Lifeline relies on you sucking water up through it, which LifeSaver says is almost impossible with a virus filter, and even a Squeeze Pouch could split at that pressure.
Where does LifeSaver say the Lifeline is a good choice?
LifeSaver says that, in general, a Lifeline will keep you safe in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US. For Africa, Asia, South America or any country with poor sanitation, LifeSaver recommends a purifier such as the Liberty or Wayfarer, and advises researching the risks before travelling.
Does the Lifeline have to stay damp between trips?
No. LifeSaver says the Lifeline membrane pores are larger than those in its purifiers, so they do not need to be kept damp, and there is no shelf life. LifeSaver says to rinse everything off after a trip and let it dry out completely before you put it away.
How long do the Lifeline's two filters last?
Up to 5,000 litres (1,300 US gallons) for the ultrafiltration cartridge and up to 100 litres for the activated carbon filter, per LifeSaver. Both are replaceable. LifeSaver says FailSafe technology slows the flow rate when the cartridge needs replacing, so the last drop is as clean as the first.
Can I drink from the Lifeline without sucking on it directly?
Yes, with LifeSaver's accessories. The Lifeline Squeeze Pouches are 600 ml bags you fill, screw into the base of the Lifeline and squeeze through. The Lifeline Gravity Bag holds one gallon (3.8 litres) and hangs from a tree, tent pole or vehicle to give filtered water on tap, per LifeSaver.
