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.

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 - 12 days ago

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 - 1 year 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.

Happily Drinking our PFAS-free Water!

We are so happy to have found LifeStraw! This is the best move my household has made in a long while. PFAS has only recently come on our radar and, though it seems it is still being downplayed, I don't think it is going to hurt us to try to minimize our intake of it. AND potential bacteria and hexavalent chromium. . . the latter is actually in our local water, etc. Our water from our LifeStraw dispenser. . . honestly? It tastes like our Brita filtered water took a bath. It is crisp. It is light. And it tastes beautifully clean. We love it! And we have two recent graduates in our extended family that are off to college; we will be gifting them LifeStraw for their tiny, dorm room living! We also appreciate that it is NSF Certified and a B Corp!!

I love this product. What a difference it makes filtering water from tap. It does take some time to process but worth the wait.

It broke already

I had this 1. 5 years before it randomly just broke. It was too much money to have it last only that amount of time. The piece broke and will not stay on now. Also, I didn’t like the functionality of the button, the kids found it hard to use. It needs more of a spigot type to pull.

I’ve been enjoying my new water pitcher! Took only a few minutes to clean and assemble and have been enjoying delicious, filtered water since. I can already taste a difference in the water, too!

Recycle and plastic free

The water from my water filter pitcher tastes clean and fresh. What I would like to know is if there’s a place to recycle the small and large filters that get changed every two months and once a year. I’d also like to know if there’s a water filter pitcher with NO plastic parts.

My LifeStraw products are fantastic! I am so glad that I decided to step up and take better care of myself by drinking healthier water. It took me a little while to get the hang of using them, I must admit. I got a pitcher for my fridge and a bottle for my bedside table. I’ve got cold, clean water all the time! Dealing with the company was a great experience too. Quick delivery, no hassles. Thank you!! 🙏🏻☺️

Got this for a road trip to a vacation spot where the water always upsets my stomach. First trip there in years where the water tasted great and didn’t irritate my insides. Did exactly what I needed it to do and I felt better using this water to fill the kids’ water bottles too.

The filters are good , but the filter holder on one of my 3 was cracked and the crack has grown to the point that I can’t use it anymore

I bought 3 counter top filters pitchers for family , one was cracked on arrival , would like to have just the part that was cracked replaced, other than that the pitchers are good and the subscription works well

We moved to a new town and the water here is the worst I've ever tasted. It is heavily chlorinated and tasted like pool water. I actually wasn't feeling super hot after drinking it which for me, was very strange. Anyway this big dispenser with it's little filters is amazing. Our water tastes like water! Super clean, the chlorine is completely gone. It also filters so fast, I can have a few bottles filled up pretty quickly. Highly recommend and would purchase again. Worth every penny!

I Think My Expectations Were Set Too High

My water still taste kinda funny and for the price of your products I expected more. My Brita makes the water taste better for half your price. Also, the price to replace the filters is very high. It is also very long and odd shaped. It will not fit in my refrigerator unless I remove an entire shelf. Maybe my expectations of Lifestraw were just too high. I need to lower the bar!

Tall & Good Looking

Really like the pitcher. Love that it is glass. While it’s too tall for our fridge, it looks good on the counter. When it’s full, I feel like the handle might not be strong enough so I brace the base when lifting.

The quality and taste of water that is produced by this water filter Is amazing. The decanter holds a large quantity of water. The only negative is the refill time is a little lengthy, but worth it.
