LIFESAVER bottle - Removing The Need For Shipping Bottled Water To Soldiers In The Field!
A personal water filter bottle weighing only 635g which can remove all waterborne pathogens from any water source instantly without the use of foul tasting chemicals like iodine or chlorine. Each cartridge filters up to 6000 litres. At the moment, often in exhausting heat conditions, the soldiers have to carry their own daily requirement of water to avoid dehydration. Using LIFESAVER bottle, water can now be scavenged and purified safely at the point of use.
LIFESAVER bottle was voted ‘Best Technological Development for Future Soldier System Enhancement' by Soldier Technology 2007, the world's premier soldier modernisation forum.

LIFESAVER bottle will revolutionise the battle space, reduce carried weight for the soldier, and lesson the traditional logistical demands of drinking water faced by militaries around the world. Mark Richter, Programme Manager, MERS, Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico VA said:
‘The Lifesaver bottle is an innovative water purification device that can remove debris, bacteria and viruses from water utilizing a unique membrane filtration system. With a 15 nanometre diameter filtration, it effectively creates fresh water instantly and safely for a soldier or marine. Water is weight! The LIFESAVER bottle provides water scavenging capability and fulfils a critical need of sustainability on the battlefield.'
Water is weight! Delivering bottled water even short distances is time consuming and expensive and is an unnecessarily damaging contributor to global warming. It requires long logistic chains to maintain supplies. LIFESAVER bottle lowers the overall cost of response as in many cases no bottled water will be required. Less medicine, staff and transportation are needed and no landfill sites have to be created to dispose of the millions of waste plastic bottles.
LIFESAVER bottle test results from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine concluded;
"Under the conditions of testing in our laboratory as shown in this report, our results show that the ‘Lifesaver bottle' removed all bacteria and viruses from a contaminated water source in excess of legal requirement and as such, complies with all British, US and European Drinking Water Regulations for Microbiological Reduction.� London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine - Dec 2007.
LIFESAVER bottle incorporates FAILSAFE technology which, when the cartridge has expired (capacity of up to 6000 Litres or 1600 US gallons), shuts the system off protecting the user from contamination. The novel design has won several awards and is protected by a number of UK and International patent applications. LIFESAVER bottle is aimed at military humanitarian aid, emergency preparedness, civil contingency and outdoor consumer markets around the world.
