Great idea with a few limitations
It works great, but has some limitations to be aware of.1. You should store the jerrycan sideways with the water spigot pointed down, so that you can get more water out with less pressure2. You always need to keep a reserve amount of water to keep the filter submerged so it doesn't grow mold. The jerrycan says to leave "two inches" which is great in theory, but in practice you have to guess because there's no way to tell the water level. (This is another reason to keep it stored sideways.)3. I really had to hunt around to find the replacement carbon filters, they weren't sold on Amazon last I checked.4. Refilling the jerrycan requires removing the hand pump. The issue is that you have to carefully balance it on a flat surface so it doesn't get dirty or contaminated.

Great for camping
The LifeSaver Jerrycan 20,000 Liter Water Purification System in MilSpec Tan has been an invaluable addition to our camping and emergency preparedness gear. Its rugged design and large capacity make it perfect for extended trips in the wilderness, providing safe drinking water for days on end. The filtration system is incredibly effective, and it’s easy to use—just fill, pump, and you have clean water in minutes. I love that it can filter up to 20,000 liters, which gives me peace of mind knowing I’m prepared for any situation. The MilSpec Tan color is a nice touch, blending well with outdoor gear. Whether for camping or emergency readiness, this jerrycan is a must-have!

Solid water can.
I bought this for camping. It is a nice replacement to my military can. Having something that can purify the water makes the trips easier. No Longer worried or having to carry a bunch of water jugs or bottles. Solid construction, easy to use and operate.

As advertised
For when all goes sideways, you won’t be left thirsty as you watch the world crumble all around you. I figured out how to use it without reading the manual so that’s a plus too.FYI you must keep it perpetually wet after first use or change filters.

Brilliant!
This eliminates the need to bring any other water storage as long as a source is available, saving a lot of space and weight. Performed flawlessly on our first outing with it remote beach camping in NorCal. Refilled it with creek water which tasted great thanks to the charcoal filter.Also excellent for emergency water storage.High quality, tough construction, good design. I expect many years of durability. One caveat, make sure the openings are tightly sealed when traveling, especially if it is pressurized, or it will dribble.Highly recommend.

Needs Special Consideration as a Stored Emergency Item
The filter is the critical item of the product. Water filters should come in a separate sealed foil pouch. It prevents it from drying out. The jerry can arrived with the filter installed in it and ready for use. The filter only has a 3 year storage life before it dries out and rendered useless. If you are buying it for emergency supply, where the jerrycan will be in storage till it is needed. You must get a spare filter cartridge that comes in a sealed foil pouch. Many US vendors sell the water filter that are not in sealed foil pouch. Vendors figure the customer will use the jerrycan within reasonable timeframe, not store it as an emergency item. A filter in a sealed foil pouch is available but it must be ordered from Lifesaver in Britain. It is worth it because a filter sealed in a foil pouch has shelf life of 10 years. Something to consider for anyone who wants this item for emergency prepping.

Love it!
I love having this on my boat since I have never cleaned the water tanks (it's not easy to do) and don't totally trust drinking from the boat sink. I don't know if it's possible to buy a filter replacement through Amazon which is a bit annoying but I imagine I have many gallons to go before I need one. Great for emergency situations as you can imagine. Seems very sturdy to me! Highly recommend for Rv or boats especially

2month overlanding trip, fresh water everytime any location
It does as advertised on it's website. I used this exclusively for all my water needs (about 2-3gal / day) for a 10K mile 2month overlanding trip across the western US. I mainly drew water from rivers and the occasional lake, mainly in slow moving water, and the occasional standing water. The flow rate is a bit low, and you need to pump it as it filters the water, but I would could get about 15gal over 45min, storing the fresh water in larger containers, and that was great for my experience. It has I think 20,000 liter filter, which when you think about what you're getting, is pretty amazing IMO. I had zero adverse affects from drinking exclusively from this filter for 2months, and the hardware worked great (pump, spigot, etc). I think 5stars is warranted given that it does exactly what it advertises.

Besser als erwartet
Ein super Artikel. Der Wasserfilter filtert unreine Gewässer bestens und ist für mich auf Reisen zum Alltagstool geworden.Eine sehr gute Investition, trotz des hohen Eigengewichts. Passt auch hervorragend in Benzinkanisterhalterungen um am Fahrzeug gesichert zu werden.

Life Saving product, hence the name
It is expensive but works flawlessly and you cant put a price on safe clean water.

Excellent. A++(
A great idea that works. It is also made in the UK. Expensive but worth every penny. The water supply seems to be becoming very erratic. One day this could be what saves your life.

Excelente producto!!
Genial producto; llegó justo a tiempo. Ahora solo necesitaré comprar los filtros de carbón activo. Ojalá y también Amazon los venda (repuestos, accesorios).
