Compact Water Filter for Outdoors and Emergencies

From a simple straw, LifeStraw began as a mesh filter designed to eradicate Guinea worm disease by removing the parasite from drinking water. For every LifeStraw product purchased, a school child in need receives safe water for a year, embodying the brand's humanitarian roots and belief that impact matters.

The LifeStraw Home is a modern, award-winning design that removes over 30 contaminants, including bacteria, microplastics, and PFAS, providing clean and safe drinking water. Rigorously tested to meet EPA, NSF, and ASTM standards, the product's microbiological filter can provide 4,000 liters (1,000 gallons) of clean water with proper use and maintenance.

LifeStraw's unique products are distinguished by their ability to remove 99.999999% of waterborne bacteria, including E. coli and Salmonella, and 99.999% of waterborne parasites, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Additionally, the filters can remove the smallest microplastics found in the environment, down to 1 micron, and reduce turbidity down to 0.2 microns.

The brand's origins trace back to 1994, when LifeStraw partnered with The Carter Center to design a simple mesh filter in the form of a straw to combat Guinea worm disease. Since then, the company has expanded its water filtration solutions for both outdoor and home use, driven by its commitment to ensuring equitable access to safe water for all.

The LifeStraw products are made from BPA-free materials, ensuring a safe and sustainable drinking experience. Through its innovative design, rigorous testing, and humanitarian mission, LifeStraw continues to make a meaningful impact on communities around the world, one clean water solution at a time.
