SurviMate 5-Stage 0.01μm Ultra-Filtration Filtered Water Bottle, BPA-Free Material, NSF/ANSI 42&372 Certified, Portable Water Filter Bottle for Survival, Camping, Hiking, and Emergency Use

Bottle is relatively lite and functions well. Pulling liquid up does require a little extra suction, but easily doable and certainly worth the effort for the protection.Price was reasonable for a quality product.

My husband otder these just in case we need them. There made real nice

Like the little compass on top. Lid could be more secure when twisting on

I liked this water bottle because it was so minimal in weight. It was great for when I traveled to Florida for work and didn’t want to buy and carry around multiple water bottles a day. The only 3 drawbacks I had with this is that if you don’t close the spout ask the way the bottle will leak. I had that happen to me and it got some of my paperwork a bit wet, the spout is a little small so I can to pucker up more which made me feel like my lips would wrinkle faster (vain I know but gotta take care of your body), I also had to suck a little harder to draw fluid into my mouth. Fine for me but my toddler didn’t like the extra work. Overall still love the concept but I ended up getting another bottle by Brita that I find I like better. The brita one has a version that is big and insulation so I’m able to add ice and it’s easier to drink through. Only drawback with the Brita is the size and weight but that’s the offset for having cold water. Worth having both. Now I keep the Survimate in my bedroom so I don’t have to walk downstairs my house and get water. Make sure you do not accidentally freeze the bottle like I did though. That will cause the filter to crack! Overall, filter is great and water tastes great.

We purchased this for an upcoming trip to the Galapagos, I will report on its effectiveness when we return but I have high hopes it will work. It looks sturdy.

***NOTE: I haven't used the unit yet, don't base your purchase on this review, it is for reference measurements on the units branded under the names Survimate, Purewell and joypur.The base unit is the same as those listed above with the differences in pre-filter choice being most obvious. The internal glass tube and charcoal filter is universal between the three branded filters. The tubes came with 2 clear o-rings of the type used in the construction of the thing and the bag with 1 single clear o-ring holding it folded together tight. The O-rings attached to the end of the handle that go inside the unit came pre-greased though I can't tell what sort of grease. Grease has no smell and is clear, makes me think it might be mineral oil.The foam parts that get toted as anti-skid feel cheaply glue in place though the edges are tight to the body of the unit and are not lifting at all. The foam itself feels like a thin, solid bit of anti-skid foam used in drawers.The inlet and outlet ports on the unit themselves are recessed but if they took a hit the right way would snap. The inlet port is protected by the cup. The cup itself has no markings to indicate plastic type but doesn't feel particularly strong. The cup is clear and holds about 6 ounces of liquid, it flexes thumb and forefinger pressure in the middle.The internal unit with two differing sized cylinders is ultrasonically welded at the base and leads me to believe that it would work to uptake liquid if submerged 1/4 the way into the water from the bottom in the event the intake (dirty water in) port gets damaged. The outlet port (clean water out) is more recessed and protected by the clear cup on top.The handle shaft is solid and under light, not trying to break my handle but want to make sure it's going to last, bending didn't flex at all, though I did note some stresses happening at the handle meets shaft junction.The first pull of the handle (dry test upon receiving) was stiff. Not wanting to break the unit I was gentle and twisted the handle around a couple times which freed it up.In preliminary conclusion, I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm happy to have an emergency water filter but I'm not entirely convinced this one will last an entire lifetime outside of being put in a kit and forgotten about. I don't think I would leave this in my car all year.Weights:----------The weight of the entire box as received, including unit w/ clear cup, tubes, filter, floats, two pre-filters and shipping box = 425 grams (minus the packing materials sent around the inner box but including the inner most box shipped)A new filter inside bag inside of box (purchased separately but designed for this item) = 40 gramsFilter unit with clear cup = 250 gramsFilter unit with clear cup, one pre-filter, tubes, clip and floats = 318 gramsA pre-filter alone (white, round, pneumatic tube fitting at the top with short white tube attached) = 22 gramsDimensions (not exact, rounded up to nearest CM)--------------Inner box, minus packing materials = 22 CM x 14 CM x 6 CMFilter unit body with clear cup on top = 17 CM x 9 CM x 5 CMTubes, wrapped up with clear O-rings holding them together = 20 CM x 4 CM x 3 CMPre-filter = 11 CM x 4CM x 4 CMBag by itself is large enough to fit the unit inside, unfolded flat measurements = 20 CM x 22CM x about twice as thick as a Crown Royal sack with a stiff feeling to it, not particularly soft outside, almost a fuzzy foam feeling.

Water tastes great! I am paranoid about drinking water with fluoride. Another person said they were allergic to fluoride and immediately react to it and got this same bottle to filter out fluoride. Half the time the water fountain filter doesn’t work at my job so I feel safe in knowing that I can fill up this water bottle and not have to worry about drinking fluoride!!

I liked this water bottle originally. It was(like other reviewers said) hard to suck the water through but that was fine with me. I used it on my trip and it helped me because I am sensitive to water changes. Unfortunately I brought it back home and let it dry out (or so I thought!) and put it in my cabinet since it wasn’t going to be my daily water bottle. I pulled it out several months later and I found condensation and water in the filter! I thought it was user error even though I left it out to dry originally. I then left it out to dry for a LONG time, like a week and I checked this time…it looked dry and put it away again. I pull it out another month later and there are water droplets still in the filter! Apparently this water bottle will never dry and I don’t feel comfortable using it now since I know that it’s grown mold sitting in a dark warm cabinet for so long! I tried to contact the manufacturer and it was a foreign sounding company that did not pick up. Very frustrating! Also the new filter is just as expensive as buying a new water bottle!

Lo compré para un viaje a Perú recientemente y funcionó a la perfección, cumple totalmente su función. Puedes tomar agua de prácticamente cualquier lado qué haya una toma de agua y dejar de preocuparte por el agua embotellada. Hay que succionar con más fuerza cuando dejas de usarlo unos días, lo cual no me parece un problema. Me encanta y es práctico total, nunca me quedé sin tomar agua potable.

I am allergic to fluoride. Bottled water at 0.5ppm hurts me. I was able to drink my first bottle of Aquafina without being in pain. I am extremely impressed…I am ready for my next trip to the Caribbean and feel confident that I can drink the bottled water.

Love the colour and the filter comes off to use as just a water bottle.

Very practical and great looking filtered water bottle for hiking or backpacking through Africa.

Love this water bottle! I’m travelling around Mexico and it’s so nice to know that I can drink tap water if I need to. It’s not hard to suck the water up the straw and the filter leaves the water tasting fresh.
