Lifesaver Water Purifier

For starters, it only resembles a water bottle in that it holds water. What it does beyond that you have to see to believe. Okay - you'll see it in a minute, but first let me spill it - it makes dirty lake, river, pond, yes, even really gross polluted, disease-laden water drinkable. In less than 20 seconds. Without chemicals. For real.

It can protect against virtually all bacteria, viruses, cysts, parasites, and fungi. OK - here's the video...

It should be obvious - water is essential for life. But the more we examine the practicalities of this invention I'm betting you can justify owning one.

Consider the humanitarian aspect during natural disasters that hit several times each year. Flooding caused by storms, dams & levees breaking, prolonged rain, tsunamis, snow melting, and earthquakes. People without water for days to months while disease and infection plagued water refuses to recede. Parts of the third world that know no other living conditions - bathing, cooking, and drinking from the same dirty water.

Relief agencies trying to transport in clean water from long distances only to have it hijacked by uncaring militias. Wars are fought over access to clean water.

Military uses have planners jumping out of their seats. Time may have overlooked this product but it was voted 'Best Technological Development for Future Soldier System Enhancement' at Soldier Technology 2007. No longer will soldiers need to carry heavy water in addition to inhumanely heavy backpacks only to ration to the last drop, and despair when its gone.

Clean water will also provide the means for cleaning wounds quickly when away from other facilities.

Even in the best of conditions here in the developed countries there are situations that force boiling orders for water. Power lines go down or water systems become contaminated. You remembered to stock up on batteries but the water is gone - then what?

This system is almost too good to be true. Our minds simply cannot wrap around the idea that we could dip our water bottle into polluted water and drink it - without stench or fear of getting sick or dying. Yet we can completely accept that we can launch a rocket carrying humans to orbit the earth and return them to a perfect landing at a predefined airstrip.

Right now I'm only having difficulty wrapping my brain around how this invention could have not taken on like a wildfire.

LIFESAVER bottle was invented and developed in the UK by Michael W. Pritchard M.W.M.Soc, the CEO of LIFESAVER systems. He developed LIFESAVER bottle after seeing the tragic waste of life and serious problems caused by the lack of safe drinking water in the wake of the Tsunami in December 2004 and the following year when Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana. It took a little while and some very frustrating prototypes but eventually he did it.

Michael Pritchard was born in Epsom, Surrey UK in 1967. He was educated at Gordonstoun School in Scotland and went to the University of Redlands in California USA. At the age of 18 he competed at international level for England winning a gold medal as part of the 4x100 metre relay team.

Michael started his business career selling Apple computers into the then fledgling desktop publishing market. He remained within the computer industry for approximately 10 years. He worked in the city as Business Development Director for the Wace Group PLC and then in 1998 co-founded ZagMe.com a mobile marketing company.

In 2000 Michael started his own business. As well as owning a successful property business Michael is also Managing Director of Hydronic Solutions (Europe) Ltd a specialist water treatment and legionella risk assessment company.
