BKLES 3-in-1 Solar Electric Water Filter with Hand Pump - Camping Water Filtration System Survival, Portable Water Purifier with Emergency Light, Survival Kit for Backpacking, Birthday Gifts for Men

Charged up and used. Great 6 filter electric system. Compact and works well. I charged it by plugging it in to my high speed charger. I haven't used the solar panel charger yet. The tubes do need to be laid out so there is no kink in the tubes. When doing this outdoors this is easy. Indoors when trying to use it without making a mess is a different story. I have found as I got older, I seemed to get a mild version of Montezuma's revenge when I travel outside of the area I live. Being a scientist I hypothesized that this might be due to a local bacterial/viral load in the water. Since I started using filters to treat water while traveling, I have had no issues with this. If you have any type of arm pain, an electronic filter like this is ideal. It works great fits in it's carry box with enough space for an extra pre-filter. It even comes with a small carabiner clip to attach to a strap, if you are hiking or going out on a trip. Also, given the issues with forever chemicals in todays world, this does have an Activated Carbon Filter section which does remove some of these chemicals. It is easy to use and the input and output ports are protected that helps to keep them from getting contaminated.

Pretty handy little unit, I’ve had a couple issues but BKLES customer service have been great resolving them. The 5 stars is mostly for the customer service/product support. Helpful tip: wrap your external intake filter in an old shirt to keep sediment from plugging the membrane and backflush with clean water regularly and you’ll get good flow rates.

It works well, though a little slow; still faster than using a gravity filter. It didn’t remove quite all of the color from lake water, but removed all of the smell and particles. The water tasted as good as bottled water.

So far the BKLES 3-in-1 Solar Electric Water Filter is sleek, versatile and ready for my next camp trip. I needed this a few weeks ago for my kayak trip but did not order it in time. The unit is intuitive and perfect for my camp and kayak needs. I really like the various way to charge it, the light is super bright and it comes with a carry case for everything.

Good quality, easy instructions, simple to use, and was safe. Put it this way, I didn't get sick drinking the lake water with it. Success!!!
