LifeStraw Personal Water Filter for Outdoor Activities and Emergencies

From the brand's previous page, LifeStraw started as a simple mesh filter designed to eliminate the Guinea worm disease by extracting the parasite from drinking water. LifeStraw also contributes to the community by providing a year's supply of safe water to a school child in need for every product purchased. Introducing the improved water filter, LifeStraw Home, which effectively eliminates over 30 contaminants such as bacteria, microplastics, and PFAS, while boasting an award-winning modern design.

The journey of LifeStraw began with a brilliant concept: a mesh filter in the form of a straw to combat the guinea worm disease. In collaboration with The Carter Center in 1994, LifeStraw developed a simple mesh filter to eliminate Guinea worm larvae from drinking water. Since then, we have expanded our product range to encompass water filtration solutions for outdoor activities and home use. What sets our products apart is their ability to remove bacteria, parasites, and microplastics.
