What is the difference between Survivor Filter Brand and Renovo Trio Brand?
2088483
The Renovo is made in China but has gone to extra lengths to ensure that it meets US EPA standards which involves expensive testing with independent labs (here in the USA) that are approved by the EPA. They have done ongoing testing and facility inspections (on site in China) to ensure that it meets US standards. In our research, we haven't found anything provided by Survivor Filter to show that they have done third party testing. Renovo has posted the test results from the two labs they've contracted with. Additionally, Survivor Filter packages their product very cheaply and since it isn't hermetically sealed as soon as the activated carbon filter component is exposed to air, the filter shelf life starts to diminish. Activated carbon is very effective and will pull pollutants out of the air (gas mask and air filters are made of the same stuff) so as soon as they are exposed to air, they begin to remove pollutants and wear out while just sitting. Renovo's testing has indicated that the shelf life of the activated carbon fiber element is 12 months (outside of a hermetically sealed package) or 265 gallons (whichever comes first). If the filter components aren't sealed then as they sit in a warehouse the carbon component wears out. So, if Survivor has inventory that has sat in a warehouse for 6 months and then you buy it and it sits for another 6 months before you first use it, you aren't getting the benefits of the activated carbon fiber component of the filter (stage 3) and you are only getting the mechanical filtration of the hollow fiber membrane (stage 2). In our opinion, Renovo Trio is a legitimate company that built the reputation of the Renovo Trio, Survivor Filter is drafting off their coat tails and using questionable practices to do so.

Can only tell you that they both filter down to 0.05 microns, which is better than the LifeStraw's 0.2 microns. Appear to be the same product with different logos stamped on outside during manufacture.

Nothing. They are both made by Miniwell Outdoor in China. http://www.miniwell.net/index.html. Miniwell also sells the same product under the Miniwell L600 brand. Water Filter Straw - Triple filtration to 0.05 Microns, Highest Filtration Available. Miniwell L600. Carbon Fiber, UF filters can be easily cleaned or replaced. Weighs only 3.5 ounces! Ideal for emergency prepardness, traveling, camping, hiking, fishing, or any where you need safe, clean water. Likely you will see more re-brands by other companies going forward. Granted some companies that have imported these are trying to do their own testing. Im waiting for one to be lab certified for NSF standards of 53 or 58 to ensure they can purify (ie viruses).

According to my online chat with Shark, the replacement filters for the UV420 are XF22 for foam and felt and XHF80 for the HEPA. This looks like the right one for you (and me). I got my vacuum at Costco if that helps.

Replacement filter: RReplacement pre-filter: A or A PlusI have re-ordered both from amazon. Not cheap, but they are the ones recommended by the manufacturer.

Good Nicole! This filter is hero3 +, I would remind you that the LCD only came a back door and not change the complete housing.The hero3 brought the case that enduring 60 meters and is clearly distinguishable by the small screws on the lens.So I recommend that before buying the filter look good in the photos and the model of your camera body.Filter is 100% worth, improves the image severely!I hope resolve you doubts!

Well the 2410 is the full system and not the replacement filters, so I think you meant the replacement filter 410. The 410 is not as good at the 413 which has a higher MERV rating.

Its the type of replaceable filter media that comes with it. The 3 stage cost far less due to removing less contaminants compare to 10 stage filtering. IMO: The 3 stage is far better then the most refrigerator water filter most people use and if you are using municipality water source, the water is safe to drink anyways and the 3 stage filtering is sufficient. 10 stage is nice insurance but I choose to save the money........Hope that helps.

I purchased this filter on name alone, BOSCH has always been a premium manufacturer of many items. Hope this helps.

I think the only difference is the color...I do not like the Starkey filters. They are too small and plug up quickly. Just sayin'

The 204 parts are smaller the impeller /shaft and cover are totally different/way smaller/the 304,305,404 and 405.parts are the same,except the handles and outer parts and canisters,where you can clearly see a difference. Fluval the best filter out there.(I have four running quietly as we chat) Go get em Mike

I do not have direct experience with the protector, but looking at the respective stat sheets on the two cases, it looks as if the Survivor is held o a more rigorous standard. On the survivor they quote more detail on dust and water resistance as well as a specific military grade drop standard. I hope that helps.

They are both P100 filters "NIOSH Approved - At least 99.97% filtration efficiency" but you should check 3M's website for exact info. Link below you'll find docs and specs on each. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M-PPE-Safety-Solutions/Personal-Protective-Equipment/Products/Product-Catalog/~/Cartridges-Filters-for-3M-Half-and-Full-Facepiece-Respirators-6000-Series-7500-Series-7800S-Series-and-FF-400-Series?N=3294355784+3294529207+8690968+5549793&rt=rud

I do not know the filter brand in question but with ceramic dome filters it is the Ceramic materialthat does the work unlike cartridge filters that require a filter media inside the housing that does the work.

Buyer beware as there are a TWO different filters being sold under the SAME basic HC-504 nomenclature. The original/good version is 1.25" thick, whereas many of the more recent offerings are only 0.75" thick, therefore with MUCH less moisture-delivering efficiency/life, yet at the same price. Worse yet, often the images shown in Amazon are dimensionally proportional to the original/good ones but what they really ship is the inferior version - I know because I just returned six filters to Amazon but got stuck with shipping charges and wasted time. Someone else suggested another source (filters-now dot com) and I'm sending them an inquiry based on the above. (PS- some of the filter offerings tout a blue "dust catching" wrap that IMHO is pure marketing hype.)

Personally I like the taste. I previously had a H300 Everpure filter and the taste for this filter and other brands were the same. My locality has pretty clean water to begin with. The UF3 does a great job with little loss in pressure which the H300 Everpure could not match.
