Amazing Product!I had seen videos of this so-called "LifeStraw" and, after gleaning some information from the web, I was intrigued enough to buy the product, but did not have high expectations; after all, is it not just a straw? Boy was I wrong. Not only was the LifeStraw convenient to use - the user-friendly manual gets a 10/10 from me - but it managed expectations. Albeit, I am not someone who is particularly adventurous or takes pleasure in backpacking or hiking, rather, someone who is genuinely interested in sustainability. From filtering nasty, bacteria filled water to juices (for fun), the LifeStraw did not disappoint!

Bye Bye Bottled WaterHello LifeStraw! I've been drinking some form of bottled water for the last 31years. I know, I know really bad for the planet. I've not touched tap water (willingly) in all those years. I took a chance and purchased the glass pitcher from LifeStraw and WOW! I wanted to do my part and stop use of plastic bottles and I foud that freedom through this amazing product. I've now just ordered the LifeStraw Go. Couldn't be more pleased with how good the water tastes.

Worked great!I went on my first backpacking trip (solo) and had two ways to filter water, of course. On my way to the car, I was out of water and only had about a mile to go. Getting thirsty on a hot day, I thought I'd try my LifeStraw. I took a few sips out of the creek which kept me hydrated until I finished the last half mile to my car. It was easy to use.
I do have one question though. It says to stand it in clean water for 20 seconds before using it or when dry. This isn't practical and doesn't make sense since people usually need it when they don't have any clean water. I didn't do that and just noticed this instruction as I'm looking at what I'm to do to clean it now that I'm home.
I drank the water and I'm fine. Just wanting to understand that comment better.

Great Idea....Not So Great Experience....Because I do a lot of hiking and backpacking I received two Lifestraws as gifts a couple of years ago. Never used either of them. I decided because of the weight factor not to carry my normal two liters of water and my Katadyn Water Filter on a 3 day backpacking trip in a primitive area of the Grand Canyon.....I would use a Lifestraw.....after about 1.5 liters of water it quit working.......suck or blow I could not get anything to flow through the filter...air or water......NEVER AGAIN!!

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.
