Overall Feedback:
97% positive
96% praised for its long-lasting durability, while 4% experienced a shorter lifespan
I find the product fairly durable in terms of its look and feel.
I found the product to be not super durable as it got broken by a companion on my trip. However, I wasn't upset as I had iodine purification with me.
The Survivor Pro worked well only for the first use and the flow dropped down to about 1 L every 15 minutes after the second use.
The product broke during my trip and it wasn't very durable. Luckily, I had iodine purification with me and wasn't upset.

Cleaning the filter is a must after every use due to the humidity and iron rich water, but it is easy to clean and has held up well.
Setting up, cleaning, back flushing, and storing the filter is easy without using any chemicals other than vinegar.
After the trip, the filter was a bit dirty but it was easy to clean with a fresh water flush when I got home.

96% found it easy to use
The filter is easy to use and will save my life when I need it to.
I found it very easy to use and took it on a 4-day portage to lake Algonquin. Its small size is also a plus point for me.
The product is easy to use, disassemble, and assemble. It is also well-designed and doesn't leak.
It is easy for me to pump and the tubing is of convenient lengths to fill up containers.

97% appreciated its effectiveness, but 3% questioned its effectiveness
I have been making my own silver for over 5 years and recently improved its effectiveness by filtering it through the Survivor pump, which filters out all particles larger than 0.01 Micron or 10 Nanometers.
This water filter is one of the most effective and sturdy ones I have seen on the market.
The advertised flow rate seems acceptable for the promised treatment performance, although I haven't tested it yet.
I believe the filter can remove all harmful substances from the water.

I have complained about the dismal flow rate of the filter. It takes about 10-15 minutes of solid pumping to get a litre of water.
The flow rate of the filter is extremely slow.
After about 3 liters, the filter became clogged and slow, rendering it almost useless.

The filter is lightweight and can fit into any tight rucksack.
