LifeStraw Peak Series Water Filter - 1L, Dark Mountain Gray, Protects Against Bacteria and Parasites, Ultra-Compact and Versatile

What a neat product! My son was tired of giving the same old gifts at birthday parties, so he decided to be creative, and this is the item he landed on! It was a hit! He gave a gift to a friend that the friend had never received, and he liked it so much that he purchased one for himself! The bottle is lightweight, easy to pack, and despite my doubts, it cleaned the water in the bottle! We have had fun running lemon water and even lake water through the bottle with great results! Highly recommend this item!

I've used Lifestraw products for years and this one didn't disappoint. The 1L capacity is convenient for backpacking and canyoneering water storage. I was pleased to find out that the filter can be removed and fits my 600ml trail running hydrapak bottles too. So I dont have to buy an additional filter. I tried a knockoff and ended up breaking the cap which just ended leaking critical drops of water. The Lifestraw one wouldn't have that problem. The flow rate is superior to the knock and filtration must be great because I've used it in water sources with high likelihood of waterborne contaminants (presence of animal and rodent tracks, algae, completely stagnant water) without illness. The taste isn't always the best in some of the more questionable water sources but i dont expect it to turn squirrel broth into Voss water. Just keep the enterics out.

I’ve never used anything like this before and I loved it! Purchased the 1L size for my June/July trip to Peru. Let me tell you that the water in Cusco had a strong smell and it ran milky white out of the tap. This filtration system removed all of that! I brushed my teeth, rinsed out refillable water bottles and cups, and washed/rinsed my invisible aligners with this. During long tours I carried it with water and there was no spillage. I loved that I could just squeeze it directly into what I needed (cup, aligners, bottles, my hands). Without squeezing there’s a nice steady flow of water that runs out of the filter which is nice. Initially the water will have like a charcoal taste, but it goes away after a couple of uses. Make sure you backwash the filter and rinse out the bag. It comes with the backwash syringe and it’s easy to use. Hint for removing the filter without it dropping: The top part of the bag is a stiff plastic, hold onto that when removing/twisting the cap for removal. DO NOT hold onto filter inside the bag while you twist off the cap for removal.

We bring this on the road so we can filter water in hotels along our route. It’s great because unlike the drinking bottle, you can squeeze water into a coffee pot or hot water heater. My daughter borrowed it to take to a holiday in the DR because she wanted to be sure her water didn’t have any incompatible bugs or contaminants. It works fairly quickly, but we’ve learned to use the water right away rather than store it in the bag. Water sitting in the bag overnight in the fridge developed a funny taste. Not sure if it was from the filter or the bag itself. It does come with its own charcoal filter that is replaceable. The primary filter is good for a really long time. We have Lifewater drinking bottles and a pitcher that haven’t left the water with a funny taste. I think it may be because this bag is designed for hiking and emergencies so the filtration is extremely effective.

Convenient. Takes up very little room in my luggage. TSA approved. Esp. When I use it as ice pack

The straws are perfect for your trip to Walt Disney World instead of paying for expensive water. You can take these and fill up your water bottle or buy the life water bottle so highly recommend them.

I bought TWO products like this for the first time last fall to prepare for a strenuous, all-day high-altitude hike in back country . They work independently but they also work together, so I appreciate having a backup but I also appreciate the modularity. The beauty of this particular product is that it easily folds up and takes up very little space, yet it’s there when you need it. And I needed it. And was thankful I had it. Seems like a lot of potential risks to screw it up for first time users, but it really is very intuitive. Now I feel like an old pro. Long-term storage and preservation is definitely more complicated than active use. But whatever, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Can I give less than a star? Won't flow water through the filter after 6 uses with basically clean mountain stream water. Back flowing will not fix the issue. This filter failed me when I needed it. Go with a different brand that won't leave you stranded.

Antes de escribir una reseña he esperado para probar el producto, pues puedo decir que no pensaba que podía funcionar tan bien! He usado esta botella en dos viajes, a Jordania y Brasil, rellenando siempre con agua de grifo y no he tenido problemas. El filtro funciona de maravilla y tiene un sabor raro solo un poco al principio porqué nuevo. La botella aguanta mucho y es pratica porqué se puede doblar cuando está vacía. Recomendado 100%

My katadyn one kept being replaced for leaks so tried this one instead finally. So far it’s great. Very sturdy. Haven’t got giardia.

Skickades tillbaks då den var trasig vid leverans. Det märktes att paketet var öppnat innan jag fick det. och korken måste ha varit åtdragen för hårt för gängorna hade spräckt plasten vid flaskhalsen. Att den dessutom var tidigare använd och inte ny i förpackning gjorde mig besviken.

Wat een heerlijk, fijne LifeStraw is dit! Voor het eerste gebruik wel goed de handleiding lezen of de instructievideo van LifeStraw bekijken. Ook om het filter werkend te houden is dit van belang. Om de chemische smaak weg te krijgen heb ik een alternatieve tip: de LifeStraw (ZONDER FILTER!) met wat water en een beetje tandpasta vullen. Dichtmaken en goed schudden dat het lekker gaat schuimen. Vervolgens leeg knijpen en een paar keer naspoelen. Het filter zelf meermaals goed doorspoelen, en daarna heb je misschien nog een beetje mint-smaak van je tandpasta, maar voor de rest heerlijk fris water! Wat heerlijk om veilig water uit de bergstroompjes te kunnen drinken.

Elle rempli très bien sa fonction. Top pour le bivouac sur plusieurs jours. Plus besoin de chercher des sources d'eau potable.
