Overview
A membrane microfilter and an activated carbon plus ion exchange filter work together inside this LifeStraw glass pitcher, with water fed through both by gravity. Between them, the stages remove bacteria and parasites and reduce lead, mercury, PFAS and chlorine.
Microbiological protection is the reason to choose it, since the pitcher removes bacteria and parasites as well as microplastics. A borosilicate glass body and silicone base cut down on plastic, though parts are BPA-free plastic. Capacity is modest for a large family.
Who it's for
Homes with questionable tap water, or people wary of bacteria and microplastics, get two filtration stages in a glass jug. Big households will find the capacity small and the carbon filter changes frequent.
Pros and cons
- Removes bacteria and parasites
- Reduces lead, mercury and PFAS
- Borosilicate glass pitcher body
- Silicone base included
- Carbon filter needs frequent replacement
- Modest capacity for big households
- Glass body adds breakage risk
Performance notes
Gravity draws water through the membrane microfilter and the carbon plus ion exchange filter, so no power is needed. The two stages have separate lives, so the carbon cartridge is swapped several times within one membrane's life. Minerals such as magnesium and potassium pass through.
