Survivor Personal Water Filter - Product Review


Survivor Personal Water Filter / Model L600 - Product Review

The Survivor Personal Water filter is based on a previous design previously sold under the Renovo name called the Renovo Trio which was highly successful when it was in production. Renovo went in a new direction and the Survivor Filter was reborn under another company name. As we have mentioned in earlier articles Renovo ‘s new MUV is an amazing product but not at the price point most will be willing to pay for the average hiker, camper or something you will put in your Go Bag and never use. While the MUV can be used in more ways the new Survivor is more economical at $29.95 on average and many will find it just as easy to use and some may even find it easier since it has less parts to worry with.

The Survivor is a three stage filer. One, the mesh pre filter, two, the hollow fiber membrane and last is the carbon filter.

While we love both filters they do have their Good & Bad Points. First let’s talk about the Survivor since we already have several articles on the MUV already published. Remember to go back thru our Blog to read more about the Renovo MUV Water Filter. The Survivor is an all in one straw water filter that can be used as a stray configuration and dipped into any water source like a river or stream or connect it to your favorite water bottle as seen in the images provided. The Survivor Filter Personal Water Filter System cleans water down to a filtration level of 0.05 Microns. Thanks to the Triple Filtration System, the Survivor Filter is 400% better than Lifestraw at 0.2 Microns.

The Ultra Filter can be removed and cleaned up to 100,000 liters (26,417 gallons), the replaceable Carbon Filter lasts up to 1,000 liters (264 gallons) and the Cotton Pre-Filters (5 extras included in every order) can be used up to 1,000 liters (264 gallons).

So, now let’s talk about the Good points Vs the Bad in comparing it to the Renovo MUV or the Life Straw. In the article above it specifically mentions it filters more the Life Straw (+). Another benefit over the Life Straw is that it can be connected to a water bottle or hydration bag (+). It also has more flirtation elements than the Life Straw (+). With regards to the Renovo MUV it is 2/3rds cheaper (+. Does not filter as much as MUV(-). Cannot be used in a gravity feed situation (-). Cannot be added inside a water bottle like the MUV (-). Cannot be back flushed / cleaned but Survivor came out with a new video on how to clean and reuse the filter after each use. Survivor has better flirtation than the Life Straw as well as the Sawyer Mini Filter which we are not fans of.

If you want all the bells and whistles that you may or may not truly ever use, I would choose the Renovo MUV. While the MUV will offer more abilities in a water filer kit for the survivalist and camper, it is a little pricy. While I am not taking anything away from the MUV, I would seriously consider adding the Survivor Personal Water Filter to all my packs and vehicles as a great economical water filter for trips, camping and everyday use.
