Lifesaver Wayfarer

The LifeSaver Wayfarer is our smallest and lightest portable water purifier to date. Ideal for hikers, backpackers, and all outdoor enthusiasts who need safe drinking water and want to travel light. The Wayfarer uses a Scavenger In Hose to pump water up and through the filter and an Out Hose to safely deliver the purified water to your container — simply pump, fill and drink. With two stages of filtration, the hollow fiber membranes purify up to 5,000 liters (1,320 US gallons) of water, removing bacteria, cysts, and viruses. A replaceable Activated Carbon Disc follows this to reduce chemicals and heavy metals while improving taste and odor. The Wayfarer is made in Britain and built to last. Tough, robust, and tested to the limit to exceed NSF/ANSI P231 standards, it’s the perfect solution for outdoor enthusiasts who take their health and water seriously.

MSRP $99.95 (September release)
