Portable Water Filter for Hikers, Campers, Travelers, and Emergency Preparedness

From a simple straw, LifeStraw began as a mesh filter to help eradicate Guinea worm disease by removing the parasite from drinking water. For every product purchased, a school child in need receives safe water for a year, as LifeStraw gives back to the community.

LifeStraw Home, a better water filter, removes over 30 contaminants including bacteria, microplastics, and PFAS, all in a sleek, award-winning modern design. The journey started with a simple idea: a mesh filter designed as a straw to fight guinea worm disease. In 1994, LifeStraw partnered with The Carter Center to create this innovative solution.

Since then, LifeStraw has expanded its water filtration products for outdoor and home use. What makes their products unique is that every LifeStraw removes bacteria, parasites, and microplastics. The company has humanitarian roots and believes that impact matters - it's not just about water filters, but about ensuring equitable access to safe water for all.

The Microfiltration Membrane in LifeStraw products removes 99.999999% of waterborne bacteria (including E. Coli and Salmonella) and 99.999% of waterborne parasites (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium). It also removes the smallest microplastics found in the environment (down to 1 micron) and reduces turbidity down to 0.2 microns. All claims are rigorously tested and verified by laboratories using standard testing protocols set by the US EPA, NSF, and ASTM for water purifiers.

The microbiological filter in LifeStraw products will provide 4,000 liters (1,000 gallons) of clean and safe drinking water with proper use and maintenance. The materials used are BPA-free, ensuring a safe and healthy drinking experience.

LifeStraw's commitment to making an impact is evident in their "Give Back" program, where for every LifeStraw product purchased, a school child in need receives safe drinking water for an entire school year. This is a testament to their belief that access to clean water is a fundamental human right.

In summary, LifeStraw's journey from a simple straw to a market-leading water filtration solution is a testament to their commitment to innovation, quality, and social responsibility. Their products not only provide clean and safe drinking water but also contribute to improving the lives of those in need, making them a brand with a purpose that goes beyond just selling products.
