its very nice i can use it some day
Products are great and decently priced, their website needs some work, most product links are broke and reference charts need work. I talked with the owner and he was quite friendly and knowledgeable.
The Portawell plus kit is well built and a decent price
Exactly what I need for my off-grid adventures. Took it on a recent trip to the Northwoods of WI and it performed flawlessly. Allowed us to have unlimted water for showering and cleaning up around camp.
Best .2 micron filter on the market as far as I’m concerned !
The product worked wonderfully!
I am a survival expert. This is the only reasonable portable, and affordable option for water purification that makes sense. The design is brilliant, it’s portable and built to accommodate any emergency. It can be charged with home power and solar, making it the most versatile water purification unit available. I will be recommending this to everyone I know.
I have not had a chance to use it yet but it looks like it is of quality. Nice that it came in a useful bucket. If society does not collapse, it will be handy camping (collecting water, putting out campfire, draining my kayak, hosing down the dog when he rolls in something yucky etc).
I was skeptical for two reasons. The first is that too many rip offs are out there; and, second because often good ideas have so many replacement parts that are not standard (i.e., filters). I was very surprised to learn that the filters are standard. Second my purpose is to use it when I’m out prospecting so battery use is a must. If I need to keep the battery charged, the solar option is perfect as I already have controllers and portable solar chargers. The product is engineered well, is a high quality product, it’s durable and they thought of everything from transporting it in a bucket, to easy maintenance and operation. I could not be more satisfied with the direct and honest approach. Having it lightens my load in how much water I need to carry and that will take up space. I appreciate how this comes together and how easy it is to use. The company did it right and that is very refreshing.
Just what I was looking for, for an emergency water source
My wife and I are finalizing purchases for retirement journeys in our newly restored Subaru powered 1982 VW Vanagon camper. Our travel plans include from Cabo San Lucas to Prudhoe Bay, and from Labrador to Key West. We wanted on-board access to potable water irrespective of where we might find ourselves.After much research and many conversations we settled on the PortaWell water filtration system due to its compact size, filtration capacity, and ability to interchange filters with other systems. Folks at PortaWell were readily available whenever I called, provided concise immediate answers, and designed solutions that solved my unique needs. I just disassembled my unit from its trial run and was amazed at its simplicity of setup/tear down and the volume of potable water produced. I am impressed.

"The PortaWell is a **high-volume water filter** that can remove cysts, pathogenic bacteria, chlorine, heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, and more. This filter is ideal for camping and RV trips, off-the-grid living, and emergency preparedness. I typically use my PortaWell when I'm car camping. I'll take water from the river and quickly filter it in the PortaWell. It's **fast and convenient** and saves me having to stock my car with bottled water. At home, my PortaWell is a useful emergency preparedness tool that I can use whenever my city is issued with boil water alerts. Again, this saves having to stock up on bottled water, which can be quite stressful when everyone is trying to do the same thing."
"My final conclusion, this is the real deal, it's fast and efficient and while I was a bit apprehensive in talking that first sip, the water it filtered was actually really good, and a week later, I'm still healthy! This unit will have a place in my purpose-built overland Gladiator. It will keep me from having to carry the amount of water I usually carry on a 1000-mile trip as I can restock using streams and rivers every day or two. I'm looking forward to being able to shower on an extended trip more than once every 3 or 4 days by filtering available water sources along the trail eliminating the need to carry many gallons of water. Why filter water for cleaning? Bacteria for one reason. Not too long ago a child died from a brain eating amoeba that entered his system while swimming in Lake Meade. Who would have known that Lake Meade contained deadly bacteria that could enter thru cuts or scrapes on your body or thru water getting in your ears?"
"Overall I would definitely recommend the PortaWell. The filter performed exceptionally well and it has a lot of benefits that make it more attractive for true emergency preparedness."
"We are so excited to recommend this wonderful water filtration system. Since we all need to store water and have the ability to filter our own water when good quality culinary water isn't available, the PortaWell provides the extra level of comfort that we are as well prepared as possible in case an emergency or disaster comes our way. The key points that make this product something you should seriously consider purchasing as part of your family preparation plan are high capacity filtration, solar rechargeable power system, true two-stage (or more with the extension accessory) filtration, commercially available replacement filters, a system that is compact and portable, a water filtration system that is very simple to learn and use."
