Lifesaving Design
Availability of clean drinking water is massive problem all over the world. From natural disasters like 2004’s tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, to war torn areas of the word, countless lives are unnecessarily lost due to bacteria and virus filled wells, lakes and streams. LIFESAVER bottle is the world’s first all in one ultra filtration water bottle. It will remove bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and all other microbiological waterborne pathogens without using chemicals like iodine or chlorine which leave a distinctive foul taste. Winner of countless design and product awards, the LIFESAVER bottle dispenses the need for tablets, boiling, chemicals, tubes, shaking, scrubbing, waiting or effort. The LIFESAVER bottle could be one of the most important designs this century so far.

Hmm… well, again i see this concept depends higly whether the filtering does work….. Nothing much to look on…Its seems very simple enough to use.

if you would search on it, the Army has already been using a water-filtering device like that..
so its not a concept anymore.

If this really does work WELL, then it should be made with a larger holding capacity. 750 ml doesn’t go far. But really cool idea, this would be great for long distance tramping.
