Q: does any part the system pass waterthrough filter containing copper? does this potentially allow copper levels to raise? Eco filter brand adds 6x copper cuz it passes through filter containing copper.

submitted by spring cleaner - 9 months ago
  • A: Thank you for your question. No part of the LifeStraw Home system—including the membrane or carbon filters—passes water through any component made of or containing copper. As a result, the filtration process does not introduce copper into the water. In fact, the activated carbon and ion exchange resin used in our filters are designed to reduce heavy metals, including copper, if present in the source water. I hope this helps answer your question!

Q: Do the unopened cartridges dry out after how many months in storage?Do cartridges fit all your pitchers & counter top models? doesn't bacteria build up if you do not refrigerate pitcher after filling?

submitted by spring cleaner - 9 months ago
  • A: Hello! Thank you for your questions. I hope I can help clarify. Shelf Life of Unopened Filters: Our carbon + ion exchange filters do not have a shelf life if left unopened and stored in a cool, dry place. Filter Compatibility: The carbon + ion exchange filter is compatible with all LifeStraw Home models, including glass and BPA-free plastic pitchers and dispensers. It’s a universal fit across our countertop-style products. Bacteria Buildup Without Refrigeration: Once the pitcher is filled, we recommend using the filtered water within 24–48 hours if it's kept at room temperature. Refrigeration helps slow any potential bacterial growth, especially in warmer environments. If not refrigerated, we suggest refreshing the water daily for best taste and safety. Let us know if you need help with anything else.

Q: Can these filters be left to dry out and then beginning to use quite a time later- like 3 weeks? Or do these filters need to remain in use (wet) continuously?

submitted by Lisa - 2 years ago
  • A: For durations less than a couple of months they can be dried out and stored in a sealable, airtight container or bag. If you're going to be storing this for more than two months we recommend replacing the carbon filter when your resume use.

    Design is flawed

    The top filter housing is made of flimsy material and it's unbalanced. The spout retains water. When you pour yourself water, all the water doesn't go into the cup, some stays in the spigot, which is gross and messy. Water tastes good though.

    Better than Brita

    The taste of the water and build quality are superior to the Pūr and Brita filters we had before. The other brands would often not fit right or come loose, or have different filtering speeds from filter to filter. The LifeStraw has been consistent, with a solid fit, and quick filter speed. The only thing to make it better is find something other than plastic for its construction. I was drawn to the glass pitcher in an effort to reduce microplastics, but it’s a step in the right direction.

    Have always loved LifeStraw

    I should’ve bought this years ago! Have always loved their pitcher and decided to get the larger size, and I am so glad we did. It’s easy for our kids to use and we drink more water because of it. Have always loved their products.

    We love Lifestraw!

    What a great product! We have town water that usually smells like bleach when I turn on the faucet. LifeStraw has solved the problem so that I don’t need to pay to have 5 gal jugs of water delivered every month (which was a pain to have to find a place to store, plus heavy to lift up to a dispenser) or buying gallon jugs (in plastic) every week. Thank you!

    I'm very happy with my

    I'm very happy with my purchase. I got the glass filter pitcher and a years supply of filters. Unfortunately in the holiday confusion I think I threw away the box of filters. I can't find them anywhere and had to purchase a new small filter hoping that I would find the box. If I can't find them by May 1st I will have to order more. 😬😐 I do love the pitcher and my water is so much better now. If a sale is coming up on the years supply of filters soon please let me know. Thank you👍☺️

    Saves tons of money!

    I refused to buy bottled water because it’s in plastic and contains micro plastics. I was looking for a solution for safe water in my home and did some research and found out that life sells dispensers! I bought the 18 cup and keep it filled in my refrigerator and we will not drink any other water than life straw filtered water. Thank you for a wonderful product.

    Love Lifestraw!

    Best filters ever, love the life straw pitcher. It is great to filter out a lot of bad things including mycobacteria. Very few filters can filter out mycobacteria, so this is great And the lifestraw is great for everybody, including great for Boy Scouts making it safe to drink water from creeks!

    Much faster than original

    I was pleasantly surprised that this membrane filter worked much faster than the one that came with the pitcher. Easy to install, works great - all good!

    Just as comfortable the second time around!

    I've used this pitcher for a year and liked it so much that I purchased another set of filters. I feel safer filtering our tap water this way. Last year, when our public water smelled like pond scum (it was safe to drink, just smelled awful), this pitcher got the smell out. I like the glass pitcher instead of a plastic one. I would recommend it highly.

    Replacement filter

    Easy peasy…. I’ve had my water pitcher for years but for some reason I couldn’t find this replacement filter ( I am not tech savvy). I changed the carbon one frequently and cleaned it but never replaced this filter. I did some digging and found it and it was super easy to change and now I feel confident my water is not nice again clear and clean. Ty

    Makes a difference

    I could tell immediately when I draw water from the faucet versus pouring it from the Life Straw filtered pitcher. There’s no chlorine smell. I’ve never tested it to see the actual chemical differences, but I know there’s a difference in the smell and the taste. I also use the water in recipes requiring water and for boiling pasta, rice or for steaming anything. I also use the water in recipes requiring water and for boiling pasta rice or for steaming anything. I have the large pitcher. The instructions for the life Straw are very easy to follow, buying and shipping is quick and your products make me happy having them in the house.

    Lifestraw Pitcher filter pack

    Lifestraw's pitcher filter meets all my values. It is a beautiful, sturdy pitcher that stays in place with the silicone base. It is easy to clean & the filters are small, creating less waste when it is time to replace them. I love the spirit of this company. Thank you!

    Great Product

    I have Lifestraw water bottles - excellent- and I wanted a dispenser for my coffee and tea station for a small household so chose the 18 cup. First, the taste is perfect, I now use it for even my drinking water. The only issue I have is that in order to get to the 18-cup capacity the dispenser needs to be filled twice - and so takes a long time to refill. I don’t know why the reservoir is so small. I do not have the issue with the spout dripping, so hopefully that has been fixed. It fits perfectly on the shelf. I recommend this product, just wish it only took one fill to get to capacity.
