Durable

"I had been eying this for a while so I was happy when it went on sale. There are other water Purifiers out there but they are way more expensive and less durable. This is solid construction and user friendly. It has handles on it which is great. . . others dont. I feel like this purifier can hold up under tough conditions outdoors. Im glad to own one. Everyone should have one in these challenging times."

Monique N. (5/5)

Its good

"I love it but a few things . . 1: my unit was scratched up a bit maybe a return and used? Idk. . 2: I would put some sort of attachment where the water comes out it goes everywhere when filling a jug . . i like that it's portable;) works pretty good so I'm happy 😊"

"This product is an incredible solution for people needing clean water in remote or travel situations. Survivalists of any kind can be assured water is no issue with this unit in hand. Love that each purchase helps a child in need of clean water in another community. Thank you LifeStraw!"

Megan (5/5)

Needs improvement

"The bad: Needs improvement, and further accessories to make it usable. The spout is too large for the water volume. Without a hose or attachment to direct flow, the surface tension of the water directs the stream all over the place, making a mess while filling bottles. They dont sell a hose, and they tell you attaching one may void the warranty. It still takes 10 minutes to fill a gallon, but the instructions say not to leave water in the device for more than two days. It’s a 5-gal drum… you’re supposed to only fill small bottles so that you’re not spending an hour draining it? They don’t have a stand for it, so you have to MacGyver something in place to be able to do other things while filling up and returning every 3 mins to repressurize. It’s a nice idea, but a linger field testing period with this might’ve yielded some of these needed features prior to release. The good: easy to set up and when full/pressurized, works well. Water quality tastes great."

Julie D. (3/5)

"Had it in a box for a couple months, last night we had to boil water in elma where we live because of burst pipe, the thing doesn’t work. I cant get the liquid out and i read the directions and also have the community one as well, now no one will help because of the time. The company said they would make a decision and just said screw me so since they want help i will selll it and the community water i have"

Q&A

I see that this can last years for a family of 4 but it also says "Activated carbon + ion exchange filter lasts 600L (about 2 months)". So do you have to have this piece replaced every two months to ensure healthy drinking water?
Thanks for reaching out! The LifeStraw Escape includes three separate filters with different lifespans: The membrane ultrafilter provides protection against bacteria, parasites, and viruses, and lasts up to 18,000 liters — which is where the "years for a family of 4" estimate comes from. The pre-filter- filters out larger sediment and should be changed when changing out the membrane ultrafilter (comes with). The activated carbon + ion exchange filter, however, targets chemicals, heavy metals, chlorine, and taste/odor issues. This filter has a shorter lifespan of approximately 600 liters, or about 2 months of regular use, and does need to be replaced on that schedule to maintain full performance and ensure safe, great-tasting water. So yes — for ongoing protection from chemical contaminants and to ensure the best water quality, we recommend replacing the carbon filter every two months. Thank you!
