Water is the most essential item on any prepper list.

Storing water at home is not a problem for preppers – but to get fresh, clean drinking water in an emergency throws up all sorts of problems.

You can only carry so much bottled water when on the move and if you make the decision for a permanent bug out then the collection and use of emergency water filtration systems becomes the number one concern.

Important factors when choosing the best water filter and water purification system for preppers are:

In conclusion I like the Lifesaver Bottle a lot – it is the best all round survival water filter for preppers in the UK with a cost under of 3p per litre per cartridge.

There are also two versions the Lifesaver 4000 ltr and the Lifesaver 6000 ltr but both work out about the same at under 3p per litre.

It is slightly more expensive on the cost per litre of clean water compared to the other main water filter manufacturers but you can get the ‘dirty’ water from any source – pond, river etc and the ‘dirty’ water can have just about anything nasty floating in it.

It simply filters out all water-borne pathogens creating safe sterile drinking water – fast. All you need is a water source..!
