LifeStraw Home 7 Cup Glass Water Filter Pitcher with Silicone Base Wisteria

A: Hello, The model number for the 7 cup Glass Pitcher is LSH7GLWCAWW

A: Hi RB! The LifeStraw Home pitcher uses two filters: Activated Carbon + Ion Exchange Filter: Replace about every 2 months, or after 40 gallons. Membrane Microfilter: Replace about once a year, or after 264 gallons. If the water flow becomes very slow or stops sooner, it may be time to replace it. Replacement filters are available directly from LifeStraw.com, and the LifeStraw Home replacement filters are compatible with all LifeStraw Home products.

A: The 7 cup glass pitcher weighs approximately 5 lb 14.4 oz

A: Thanks for getting in touch with us! The LifeStraw products are designed to remove contaminants such as bacteria, parasites, microplastics, heavy metals (including lead), PFAS, and more depending upon the specific filter. However, it does not remove fluoride, as our focus is on reducing harmful contaminants while retaining essential minerals.

A: Hello! The white component that looks like it has small fibers or a brush inside is the membrane microfilter. It is normal for the membrane to become discolored or appear dirty over time because it captures contaminants and sediment as water passes through the filter. Its appearance alone does not necessarily mean it needs to be replaced. For the LifeStraw Home 7-cup pitcher, the membrane microfilter typically lasts up to one year, depending on use and water quality. It may need to be replaced sooner if the water flow remains very slow after cleaning. To replace it, remove the filter housing from the pitcher, take out the existing membrane microfilter, and install the new filter securely in the same position. Care, maintenance, and replacement videos are also available on the official LifeStraw YouTube channel.

A: Hi, Thank you for the question! Yes. The LifeStraw Home 7-Cup Glass Pitcher includes both the membrane microfilter and the activated carbon and ion exchange filter, so it is ready to set up and use.

A: Hello, Thanks for the question. The LifeStraw Home 7-Cup Glass Pitcher reduces more than 99% of PFOA and PFOS, two of the most studied PFAS compounds. It meets the NSF P473 performance requirements for PFOA/PFOS reduction.

A: Hello, Thank you for reaching out. Yes, the Home filters (both the membrane and carbon) can be used interchangeably for all LifeStraw Home products, including pitchers and dispensers.

A: Thank you for your question regarding the removal of nitrates from drinking water using our products. Currently, none of the LifeStraw products are designed to remove nitrates or nitrites. These compounds require specialized filtration technologies that are not incorporated into our filters.
