The LifeStraw Mission is a gravity-powered water purifier employing an award-winning technology that requires no chemicals, batteries or moving parts. The LifeStraw Mission removes 99.9999% of bacteria, 99.99% of protozoa, and 99.999% of viruses. The larger capacity of the Mission water purifier is ideal for providing clean water to multiple people, and is designed for camping, hunting, and other group or family activites, as well as disaster and emergency survival prep kits. The reservoir can be filled from nearby lakes, ponds, rivers, or streams and suspended from a tree or other sturdy support. Gravity moves water down the hose to the filter's advanced ultrafiltration membrane. Clean water exits through 0.02 micron pores in the walls of the hollow fibers, but bacteria, viruses, protozoa and other contaminants are trapped inside and are flushed out by backwashing. Compact, BPA-free roll bag reservoir features a wide mouth for easy filling with a convenient shoulder carrying strap for transport back to base camp or other group location. Includes drawstring stuff-sack for easy storage and portability. Includes four extra pre-filter screens for easy on-site maintenance. Produces flow-rate of 9-12 liters (2.4-3.2 gallons) per hour and will purify 18,000 liters over its lifetime. Available in 5 or 12 liter capacity. Weight: 13 oz (5L), 15 oz (12L). For each LifeStraw purchased, one child in a developing community receives safe drinking water for an entire school year

I don't go camping a lot, but I am one of those people who likes to have things like this on hand in case of an emergency where clean water may not be available - I live in FL and you never know what the aftermath of a hurricane might be.I tested this with my tap water. I was pleasantly surprised that the tap water actually tasted different (cleaner) when passed through this filter. We have hard water, but I've never tasted a difference using regular Brita filters, or even the Lifestraw straw.Since some of the bad reviews said it had a plasticky taste, I let the water sit in the bag overnight before drinking to see if that was true. There's no plasticky taste after 12 hours. I tried it again after 18 hours, and I could taste the plastic that they were talking about. I will try again after cleaning the system.Other bad reviews said the water wasn't trickling out fast enough. At first, I wasn't getting water out of it, but then I *gasp* read the directions and flushed the red backwash valve, and what do you know, it worked beautifully. If you are expecting it to flow like your tap at home, I guess you might think it was slow, but I'd be worried that it was ineffective if it came out any faster. So far, this is my favorite of all my emergency water supplies.

It's plastic. It did have a light plastic flavor to it. I'm sure this will go away after a few uses, just like any other plastic item you drink from. I have not used this in a survival situation or camping situation yet. I only tested this device to see if the flow and production was as advertised. I am satisfied that it is. It seems to be fairly sturdy/durable. I'm sure if you abuse it, pack it wrong or fall on it while it is in a backpack you can damage or break it. I think it will suffice based on price and reviews I have read. I would buy another if I needed a second one.

Just returned from a remote backpacking trip. I am on Amazon to reorder my backup water purification supplies in the event of a future equipment failure while remote camping. Seeing any negative reviews makes me wonder what could someone have to say that’s negative? I see almost all one star reviews are due to the bag not coming with. I remember when I bought mine in 2017 the bag was zip tied to the package so perhaps it fell off during handling. Get another one.I’ve used four filters now and this one has been my first gravity filter. I used pumps by other brands since the 1990s and say you can’t go wrong with this bag. I have my responsible 13-year old be in charge of the water for our trips and he does a great job. We run two bags through this system each day, so that’s 24 liters. The water tastes great and hasn’t let us down.I want to address the negative reviews. For starters, if you’re mad because this system didn’t work when you were out in some remote location I’d be mad too. But for golly sake- if you’re going to rely on something to provide water test it first at home. And the bag can be adjusted to let it do its thing without watching the paint dry. If you think it runs too slow you’re not experienced enough to know the difference. Try hand pump filters and you’ll see they are no fun and appreciate these gravity filters. Everyone that’s ever used this with me says the water tastes great. If it tastes plasticy then you probably have cheap plastic bottles or reservoirs that weren’t cleaned before use or are junky and will not lead to good water.And if you’re thinking of trying some random online off brand to save some money- I’d guess again. I would never jeopardize health in a remote location to save a buck.I recommend this but also recommend that you learn how if works, try it before you go, and have a backup plan in case you fall while climbing a steep ascent or stumble in a rock garden and break the filter. It only makes common sense. Happy camper-ing!

This is a great product. Very easy to use. We were surprised to discover how dirty the drinking water on our tap really are.

I cannot imagine how our recent group camping trip would have gone without this. It's amazing. The first couple of times of use, the flow rate was a little slow but it picked up very quickly, specially after our daily cleaning (as per instructions). We got the 12L version and it was more than enough for the four of us.

Je suis très satisfaite de cet article. Je l ai utilisé lors d un bivouac en suède en pleine nature, grâce a ca j ai pu boire l eau du lac sans problèmes. Je le recommande à toutes les personnes qui devront être en autonomie complète.

This is a revelation! Camping for a month by a bog in wildest Scotland we filled the LifeStraw from the small waterfall every day and filled the van tanks - we had water to waste! No more driving miles to find a tap! The same on our live aboard boat on the Saonne river in France - clean 'household' water all the time! Fantastic!

I just finished an 8-day canoe trip through the Allagash Wilderness Waterway in Maine. I'm SO glad I bought this filter! I almost bought an electrolytic purifier before I stumbled across the LifeStraw Mission. Getting drinkable water couldn't be easier! I'd hang it up at camp and let it dribble into 2-liter soda bottles, just check up on it every 20 minutes to swap out for an empty bottle. We started every day with 4 bottles full, plus quart bottles for drinking at your seat. We had the 12-liter for just the two of us, might sound like overkill but we could generate enough water for us for the next 24 hours in the amount of time it took to make breakfast and get packed up for the day. The only reason I'd buy the smaller version would be if I was backpacking and weight was critical. Even then, I doubt there's much of a weight difference, the size of the bag is the only thing that's different, and the bag is so light, can't be more than a few ounces between the two. This was effective and super easy to use. Plan on a few feet of para cord so you can hang it at the right height to meet your container. It works a bit faster if you have the hose hanging straight. Excellent product!!

Auf der Suche nach einem Wasserfilter fürs Campen mit der Familie und für Notsituationen im Kriesenfall bin ich auf den Lifestraw Mission gestoßen.Da ich schon gute Erfahrungen mit Lifestraw Go Filtern habe, bestellte ich mir den Mission.LifeStraw Mission ist ein schwerkraftbasierter Wasseraufbereiter; er verwendet eine hochentwickelte Ultrafiltermembrane mit 0,02 Mikron großen Poren und entfernt so gut wie alle Viren, Bakterien und Protozoen.Das ist auch schon die erste Besonderheit des Mission: Die Ultra feine Membran mit 0,02 Mikronen ist in der Lage Viren zu filtern. Die meisten mobilen Filter schaffen nur 0,2 Mikronen und filtern deshalb nur Bakterien und Protozonen.Den Mission gibt es in unterschiedlichen Grössen mit 5 und 12 Liter.Selbst verständlich sind alle Teile BPA frei und es werden auch keine Jodhaltigen Chemikalien verwendet.Das befüllen des Wasserbeutels ist dank großer Öffnung super einfach und bequem, gefüllt mit Wasser hängt man den Beutel am Henkel auf, den Rest erledigt die Schwerkraft!Die Filtermenge wird mit 18000 Litern angegeben und es werden 9-12 Liter pro Stunde sauberes Wasser gewonnen. Realistisch erhält man alle 7 1/2 Minuten ca. 1 Liter sauberes Wasser! Es gibt wohl schnellere Filter die aber auch eine durchlässigere Filtermembran haben, d.h. keine Viren filtern können. Für eine Familie oder größere Gruppe sollte die Menge pro Stunde dennoch mehr als ausreichend sein sollte!Im Inneren des Schmutzwasserbehälters ist der Vorfilter. Dieser kann weggeschraubt und mühelos gesäubert werden. Der eigentliche Filter ist mit zwei verschiedenen, farblich gekennzeichneten Ventilen versehen: Mit dem blauen Ventil ist das gefilterte saubere Wasser durch einen kurzen Schlauch zu entnehmen, das rote Ventil dient zum ablassen des verschmutzten Wassers bzw. zum entlüften. Das blaue Ventil hätte ich mir in diesem Farbenspiel lieber in grün gewünscht, rot für Gefahr und grün für sauber. Die rote Saugbirne wird zum durchspülen und zur Reinigung verwendet. Das ganze System ist wirklich einfach zu handhaben, auf dem Beutel ist auch nochmal wetterfest eine bebilderte Anleitung aufgedruckt. Der Verbindungsschlauch zwischen Wassersack und Filter ist etwas lang, kann aber bei Bedarf gekürzt werden.Das komplette System lässt sich aufgrund des Wasserbeutels sehr klein zusammenfalten und hat dadurch ein relativ kleines und leichtes Packmaß. Das ist auch der größte Unterschied zum Lifestraw Family welcher über ein festen Plasik-Wasserbehälter verfügt und so für unterwegs meiner Meinung nach nicht so gut geeignet ist. Technisch sind der Mission und der Family aber weitgehend identisch. Ich habe mich aufgrund der Größe für den Mission entschieden, da ich diesen aufgrund der Größe auch Outdoor verwenden kann.+ Gewicht mit Packsack etwas schwerer wie angegeben. Dennoch für so einen Campfilter in Ordnung!+ 5 oder 12 Liter Kapazität+ 9-12 Liter pro Stunde - Realistisch alle 7 1/2 Minuten 1 Liter Wasser+ Sehr leicht zu befüllen+ Hohlfiltermembran mit 0,02 Mikronen+ Viren-, Bakterien- und Protozonenfilter+ BPA frei+ zusammenfaltbarMan sollte sich natürlich Gedanken machen welches Wasser man filtern kann und welches nicht! Ob Bachläufe, stehende Gewässer, Quellen etc. Im Zweifel lieber kein Risiko eingehe!! Ggf. doppelt mit Micropur Forte (nur bei klarem Wasser zu verwenden) das Wasser desinfizieren. Chemikalien im Wasser werden nicht gefiltert!!Lieferung war perfekt und ich würde mir den Mission wieder kaufen!Aktuell wird durch den Kauf eines LifeStraw Produktes ein Schulkind in einem Entwicklungsland während eines ganzen Schuljahres mit sauberem Trinkwasser versorgt.
