LifeStraw Home 10 Cup Plastic Water Filter Pitcher Obsidian

A: Don’t spend that much money on a pitcher if you aren’t gunna use the filter lol

A: Hi Samanth, Thanks for your question. The lid is engineered to work with the filter housing, which is how it securely attaches to the pitcher. Without the filter, the lid won’t fit snugly on the carafe and may come loose during pouring. For safety and optimal performance, we recommend using the lid as designed, with the filter in place.

A: Is this 10 cup a glass pitcher as well?

A: Hi, Yes, LifeStraw Home filters can help reduce rust in water. Rust is typically caused by iron particles, and the LifeStraw Home filter uses advanced filtration technology, including activated carbon and a membrane microfilter, to remove contaminants like rust, dirt, and sediments, along with bacteria, parasites, and microplastics. However, if the water contains a high concentration of iron, resulting in heavy rust, the filter might need more frequent replacements to maintain its effectiveness.. I have attached a "compare" chart that is posted on our website so you may see what it removes. https://lifestraw.com/pages/compare I hope this helps answer your question!

A: Hi, Thanks for your question. For the LifeStraw Home 10 cup pitcher, the filtered water is exposed to air once it collects in the lower reservoir. The pitcher is not fully sealed, so the spout does not block outside air from the filtered water compartment. Please let us know if we can help with anything else.

A: Yes, the pitcher is made from BPA-free plastic, ensuring it is safe for storing drinking water.

A: The pitcher should be hand washed to maintain its quality and functionality.

A: The maximum filter life is 40 gallons, ensuring extensive usage before replacement is needed.

A: The water pitcher has a capacity of 10 cups, making it convenient for household use.

A: The filter effectively removes parasites, bacteria, lead, mercury, chlorine, microplastics, and various unpleasant tastes and odors.

A: Hello, Thank you for your question. We have found that if you take the housing, turn it upside down (with the carbon cap facing away from you), then push the carbon cap away from the housing with your two thumbs, it will come off. The first few times can be tight. There should be a small divot along the seam.

A: Thank you for reaching out and for your question about our 10-cup pitcher. The plastic housing used for the filter is BPA-free and made from food-grade materials that have been rigorously tested for safety. In addition to BPA, our products are also tested to ensure they are free from other harmful substances, including phthalates.
