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 - 1 year 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 - 1 year 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.

    Clean design ~ Clean water

    OK. I’m on a well with super good water quality and quantity, so why did I feel the need for the LifeStraw filter pitcher? I’m not an “optimizer”. I’m not a hypochondriac. I like the taste of my well water. . . but I needed incentive to stay properly hydrated and this cool looking pitcher sits nicely on my countertop and beckons me to enjoy a glass of water…frequently throughout the day!

    Love the taste and trust the filtration.

    Starting year 2 with our Lifestraw counter filtration canister. Switched after a water test showed some bacteria which our old filter did not remove. I do wish that the lid where water is poured in was a lift up lid instead of the slider. Some of us forget to slide it closed. Also not a fan of the spigot mechanism. . . it drips sometimes. I liked the pull down better.

    Great product

    I bought these filters and pitcher since I was not pleased with the big box store filters. I could still smell the chemicals and it was turning my tea kettle black fast. With Lifestraw the water is clear, it has no scent, my tea pot is staying pristine. I can’t prove there is a correlation but my hair had turned white and now it is growing back dark! The tea and coffee taste great, using same brands. I so glad that I did the research and came across this great quality filtration solution. Thank you I appreciate your company. Jane

    I love it!

    Originally I bought the glass pitcher, which I like but quickly realized it was too small for my daily needs. Now, I keep that in the refrigerator and have this one on the counter. I live in an historic copper mining town and, although the water from the tap is supposedly safe to drink, I feel much better knowing that this filters out anything that may be harmful to my health and the health of my cats. The water tastes good and this dispenser is easy to use. Thanks!

    Convenient fast filling

    I am a repeat costumer, I like the product, I think my drinking water is healthier by using it. The water definitely tastes better and the lousy ammonia smell is gone. A discount for regular customer would be appreciated 👍

    Filter works well, but quite hard to replace

    I understand that the seal around the filters needs to be strong, but it was very hard for my (old) hands to remove the old filter.

    Great Family Dispenser!

    Love the ease of use & healthy water that tastes good! I appreciated the cost savings & convenience buying the bundle that included the 18 cup water dispenser & 1year of replacement filters! Love also that LifeStraw is a certified “B Corp” & each purchase gives back to help provide clean drinking water for those in need!

    Filter Findings

    Hello, Lovely home filter design!!!! Very functional too. Works great. My only disappointment is that the filter has to be replaced every two months. Way too much plastic going back into the environment. I put mine in the recycle bin. I hope I’m not gumming up the recycle equipment. Thanks, Lisa
