There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
We used this pump on a long backcountry hike into Grand Canyon. It is surprisingly sturdy, easy to use, well designed and easy to clean despite our ineptude. When the pumping got hard we backwashed it and a lovely stream of mud flowed out. Then it pumped so easily again. No macho muscles needed.
It is full of so many thoughtful touches that made it easy to use, carry, clean..... After more than a grueling week of rugged use it still works easily. We are buying another.
As to the reviewer who claimed it passed reddish lumps that stained his hydration bladder, it sounds like one of your Boy Scouts added some iodine tablets to your water bladder. Some of us are old enough to remember using those nasty iodine tablets.
The filter seems to work fine - I've tested it on multiple occasions and it does what it is supposed to do.
I do have one gripe, but this hasn't actually been an issue yet - the pre-filter isn't really a pre-filter per-se... It is a 0.1 hollow fiber filter (similar to a Sawyer or BeFree) that then goes into a carbon filter and then another finer 0.01 hollow fiber filter. That means if your water isn't pristine, the hollow fibers of the "pre-filter" might get clogged up with gunk just like a Sawyer would. However, I have not yet experienced this problem yet; I am just basing this on my own experiences with identical 0.1 hollow membrane type filters - they all do this. The solution of course is to place a coffee filter or bandana rubber banded around the pre-filter before you pop it in the stream, lake, stock pond whatever. This is just my opinion, but a real pre-filter would have a removable and user cleanable fine-mesh protecting the hollow-fiber element that goes directly into the water in order to protect clogging. See MSR Trailshot or MSR Guardian for what a mesh pre-filter looks like; the purpose of them is to keep silt and other large debris out of the hollow-fibers. Again, easily remedied with a coffee filter here for a fraction of the price of a Guardian.
Anyway, I have put this thing into a couple nasty pools of water - one was chock full of algae. The other one was from a spring that was piped into a nasty rusty bucket full of mud and other debris. I was able to get reasonably clear, decent tasting water both times and this is a huge morale and confidence boost on long distance hikes. I have previously filtered from the same algae ridden source with an MSR Trailshot, and the water was still kind of green and tasted foul. Not so with the survivor filter - from the same source there was still a tinge of green to the water but it tasted totally fine. I say if you are concerned with the lightest weight possible, then this filter may not be for you - it weighs 12.8 oz. But if you are sick and tired of smelly green water from nasty sources that, while technically are safe to drink after filtering with a 2oz Sawyer, and want your filtered water to actually taste, smell and look pretty close to tap water, then I would wholeheartedly recommend this filter.
2022 Update: Bought this in 2017 for miscellaneous hiking trips. Turned lake water into delicious drinking water. I usually hate the taste even of bottled or tap water but this water was good. Meanwhile, tossed in with my camping gear and forgotten for a while for unrelated reasons, I bought a house in 2020 with extremely hard water. It also has very dry air. I had set up multiple humidifiers but they were leaving a white film all over. I also have a meter that measures particulate matter PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 (used to measure air polution) that measures very small particles of things in the air and humidifiers can increase this when used with hard water. I'd used an under the sink filter, put that tap water into a Brita filter pitcher, and then tossed some doodad into the humidifier thats supposed to remove hard water minerals and even with all that the meter still showed the PM levels rising when the humidifier was running. Remembered I had this filter in with my gear and pumped some water into the humidifier and low and behold the numbers are staying steadily low, not increased even one digit from what it is when the humidifier is off. I'm absolutely blown away. Multiple other filters in succession couldn't do what this filter did by itself. 100% recommend, so much so that I had to come update an already 5 star review just to mention this. You can bet I'll be buying backups of this.

It does the job really well but I'm a bit sceptical about the durability of my unit, the handle sit rather loose.
Edit 1
I've used my survival filter pro for a very long time now and it has proven that it's a worthy companion on my hikes.
I've connected a quick connect from Camelback to my output tube and now at every stop near water I can directly fill up my bladder and stay hydrated.
I've used it in places where the water quality was questionable but I have to admit this little tool has proven that the filtration is very good and on par if not better then the competition.
In places where I really didn't trust the water I've used (after filtering) some drops of hadex or other desinfectant.
My doubts about durability eventually faded away and I hope this one will serve me for my next couple of hikes as well!!!
The filter is very easy to set up, clean (with no chemicals, unless you want to use vinegar), back flush and store away. The triple filter, micron filtration and sheer volume prior to changing parts really sets this filter above it's competitors. It's small and lightweight, easy to use and has a pretty decent steady flow rate, without requiring too much effort. It doesn't require you to lie down flat on wet ground, trying to suck water through a little straw either.
The various parts are easy to replace if required and are cheap compared to competitors as well as lasting a lot longer. I'm buying a spare carbon filter as that "only" lasts for 2,000 litres vs. the other filters which seem to last forever! I tried to get hold of some spare hoses as well, but the UK Amazon store were out of stock. I contacted the company directly who could not have been more helpful and accommodating - the customer service was great and something that seems to have gone missing from most retailers these days, so kudos to these guys!
Their website also has useful tips on how to use the product and how to stop the parts freezing in sub-zero temperatures (tip: shake the filters out as much as possible and then keep them close to your body in your bag, or in your coat).
I did a lot of research on the best water filter beforehand and this won hands down with bloggers and trekkers and has so far lived up to the hype.
If I was to be overly critical, the only minor issue I can find is that the hoses give the water a very slight rubbery taste, but I'm sure this will wear off with time and I'm willing to live with it if it gives me clean, fresh water! Also the taste is not as strong as with my camelbak.

Le deuxième modèle reçu ne pose pas de problèmes. Cependant, il coule un peu d'eau au niveau du capuchon lorsque l'on pompe. Au final, je dirai que c'est un filtre très efficace, mais plutôt fragile.
---
le capuchon s'est décollé à nouveau, après quelques utilisation sur ce modèle (voir photo).
je suis déçu de la fragilité de ce produit. dommage, à l'usage il est pourtant bien pratique.
