 Obviously I've never used it in a survival situation, but this is the standard desalinator for liferafts |

I tested one once drinking the water after desalinating ocean water. Works fine by my test, but also by many tests from the Coast Guard and Navy, etc.
This is the device for lifeboat survival for 1-2 people. Probably would work fine for a larger number, and the advertising copy does mention 6 or even 8 people in various places. Though it's expensive, drinking water is the big limiting factor in lifeboat survival... |
WARNING: the product description is wrong

| I do not own the product and I am only rating it with 1 start in the hopes that it will catch your attention. I have great respect for Katadyn products and am sure that it does a great job of desalination. However, the product description claims that it removes viruses and bacteria from the water. I contacted Katadyn customer support and their response contradicted this claim. They told me that the product is only meant for desalination and they do not even test its effectiveness against viruses and bacteria. |
