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 - 2 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 - 2 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.

Easy to Replace, No Disposal Instructions

The filters came soon after I ordered them. They included instructions so the filter was easy to replace. However, I could not find directions on how to dispose of the old filter. This should also be included. Can it be recycled or thrown in trash?

I love my Lifestraw pitcher. I love the taste of the water, and that my purchases help bring clean water to people who need it. I totally respect your mission. I just wish that replacement parts would be available for purchase. My old pitcher is destined for the landfill because the delicate filter chamber gasket broke.

I like the filter but 2 issues: 1) Is the container free of all dangerous chemicals, etc. ? 2) Replacing the filters are very hard to do using 77 year old hands!
Great (no) taste

I’ve been drinking Target’s Good&Gather bottled water, which is awesome: no taste and crisp. This filter results in water that is perfectly tasteless but not quite crisp. To be fair Target’s water says it uses advanced filtration and reverse osmosis, so it’s not completely comparable. I am pleased with the lack of taste and other benefits of Lifewater’s filter though. It’s nice to not feel the need to buy water. I have recommended the filter to my mom. Please consider redesigning the spout at the bottom to be straighter so water doesn’t collect.

We've just started using the Life Straw 18 cup carafe and figured it made sense to buy a pack of filters. It's hard to really give a positive review because we haven't used them yet.

Outstanding with one minor irritation - the top flap doesn’t automatically drop back down but sticks in the open position and has to be pushed closed manually. I thought it would eventually loosen up, but I’ve been using it a few weeks now and the issue remains. Other than that, it’s beautifully designed.
A review and one question.

I love your product ! The water tastes like from afresh well, clean and refreshing. So far I have replaced the filter once. One question I have: I am traveling a lot for work, sometimes for 4 to 6 weeks. How do I store the filter and pitcher, so I can use it when I return? Thank you for an amazing product. I will recommend it!

This is my first time with any home water filter. I did take the filter out to see how it works and it was simple to do. I love not having a chlorine taste to my water.

I love that it is glass so I don’t have to worry about the plastic. I felt like the filter was a little tricky to put in at first but overall it’s working great!

This pitcher works fine but is large and very awkward to handle when full. Using it but not my favorite design.

I’m very happy with my lifestraw pitcher and the filters arrive in a timely schedule. One comment- I do find it difficult to remove the bottom cap of the filter housing to replace the filter. I use jar grip openers and then it works ok.
Love it!
