Does not provide safe water from surface sourcesThis DOES NOT filter viruses and heavy metals and/or chemicals. The Big Berkey Sport Berkey Bottle Water Filter is a better option in my opinion. The price is higher though. Check it out. I think LifeStraw is ok for outback water sources but not truly safe for the bad stuff that may contain viruses and chemicals, such as an urban scenario.

Stopped working after 2nd day of use.I recently went on a backpacking trip and decided to bring my Lifestraw that I recently purchased. I filled up my canteen with stream water and would use the straw periodically to drink from it while hiking up the trail. The next morning I went to a spring and filled up my canteen but no matter how hard I tried I could not get any water from the straw. This left me 14 miles in the back country without any safe drinking water. I followed all instructions for use and cleaning of the straw and it failed on the first gallon of water.

Eases Our MindsWe tested the two we bought and they worked fine. We are leaving soon on a trip to the Middle East where we were worried that water sources in remote areas might be sketchy. We're packing our LifeStraws and looking forward to using them to give us peace of mind when we are drinking from questionable water sources.

Safety Kit additionWe recently purchased several dozen to include in the safety kits we are giving to our employees. The majority work out of office on construction job sites, and we live in a State where the next earthquake could be a 8 to 9. Water is going to be hard to come by, but we have plenty of sources!

Not workingI have never used it, always took as an emergency, and a year later, even though it had never been used, it doesn't work, and one of the hiker on the TMB had the same experience than I.

Lifestraw 3packI try to keep some on hand for emergencies and for when camping. The 3 pack saves a little on the cost.
Is LifeStraw something that would work when traveling in Central and South America with their water systems?
Asked by: KYLJoe
Thank you for choosing Bass Pro Shops. Per the manufacturer, LifeStraw is ideal for hiking, backpacking, camping, and travel.

Will it filter sulphur?
We are attending a kids camp that recommends bringing bottled water due to lots of sulfur in their tap water. We were wondering if this would help.
Asked by: OkieFlyer
Thank you for your question about the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter. According to the manufacturer, although the LifeStraw Personals filter out bacteria and protozoa, sulphur will remain in the water. A higher capacity unit, which usually wouldn't be portable is required to remove chemicals and heavy metals.

Product Description Says "...will not filter viruses..." Who is right?
Asked by: CurCamp
Thank you for your question! This will not filter viruses. According to Lifestraw, this will only filter out bacteria and parasites.

does it have an expiration date at all?
Asked by: stephanien
LifeStraw is rated for a lifetime usage of 264 gallons/1000 liters. Proper care is required after each use, such as blowing through the mouthpiece to clear the filter and keep it from clogging.
