A robust portable water filter suitable for filtering 20,000 litres of water. The jerrycan can store 18½ litres of water. Read more.
The Lifesaver Jerrycan 20K is the backbone of any emergency kit: a rugged water filter with high capacity to deliver safe drinking water in an emergency, during evacuations or off-grid living. Set it down, fill from river, lake or rain barrel, and filter exactly what you need on the spot. Stay independent of infrastructure at home, on the move or in the field.
In urban emergencies, flood events or remote travel, the Lifesaver Jerrycan 20K performs consistently. Its hollow-fiber membrane removes viruses, bacteria and parasites; the activated carbon disc improves taste and odor and reduces chlorine. With Fail-Safe Technology, flow stops automatically once safe filtration can no longer be guaranteed — a critical safeguard when every sip matters.
For basecamps, vehicles and boats, this jerrycan balances 18.5 litres of storage with high flow. The best practice in crisis logistics: Store the dirty water and filter it only at the moment you need it. This minimizes re-contamination, maximizes filter life and keeps you adaptable as conditions change.
Whether you’re building a 72-hour emergency kit, planning a neighborhood response or traveling off-grid, the Lifesaver Jerrycan 20K adds a proven layer of safety to your water plan. One system, many scenarios: emergency, disaster relief, road trips, basecamp and home reserve.
