So practical
I bought this product in 2013 and have used it in our household of two. We live in the mountains in the Caribbean, and it turns the local river and rain water into clear purified water. Tastes great and still holding up as it is durable and well made.

This is an amazing device! Literally a lifesaver
First off...I don’t normally write reviews. But after reading Granpas review today I had to say something...After spending three months in the Philippines where clean water for cooking, cleaning and drinking is a truly scarce commodity I can safely say that the life straw family is superior in all ways that matters than a Brita. The statement that a Brita filter is better is misleading and dangerous. From the Brita site “The Brita® LONGLAST® filter is not intended to purify water. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Individuals requiring water of special microbiological purity should follow the advice of their doctor or local health officials regarding the use and consumption of their tap water and Brita filtered water.”. Lifestraw is a must for anyone going to a third world country, who has relatives there or for any flood victims this is far more practical than bottled waters on any kind of long term basis I don’t normally write reviews period todayAfter spending three months in the shopping we are clean drinking water is there into premium

Functions Well but . . .
I harvest rainwater for cooking and drinking. Needless to say I need a gravity water filter. Lifestraw does the job but has some shortcomings.
I have owned 3 of these and continuously used this product for about two years now. The first added a gawd awful plastic odor to the water, returned it to Amazon and got another, in the interim got the idea to flush out the the system with a couple gallons of tap water. When I got the replacement I did just that, no odor.
I give the product 3 stars for the following observations . . .
It will not, does not filter the microscopic particles in tap water! The stats for Brita and Lifestraw are the same but Brita will take out half the particles while Lifestraw virtually none!
I have spent 20 years of my 69 years in the U.S. Army. I've spent plenty of time in the sticks, jungle and desert. For the life of me I can't figure out the rationale for the 4 foot tubing! Cutting the tube and reattaching is pretty much impossible without a way to heat the tube to get back on. To me, a serious shortcoming!!!
Replacement filters are not available! Why?
The pre-filter mesh basket is a joke. Clogs easily!!! I substituted with a mesh coffee filter which I, thankfully, already had. Replacement pre-filters are also not available!! Dumb!!! Replacement tubing can be gotton at a hardware store, I guess.
With all the parts that can't be replaced and no real guidance on how or when to clean it seems this item is ripe for mold collection in time.

I love my Flex
Any item from Lifestraw is no longer just for emergency preparedness or camping, it should be considered a household staple. I am comforted knowing my family is safe when drinking water from any tap.

Increases the TDS
The TDS rose by 20 ppm. There is no way that the water came out cleaner.

My daughter lives in the Amazon Jungle and her only source of water is the Secure River. She has been using the Lifestraw Mission bag for 8 months, however she cannot find a way to clean the tube which is filthy and clogged. Recommendations?
Did she try boiling it..they make straw cleaners too

will this stop cysts of cryptosporidium and giardia in water
The Family filter can remove bacteria and parasites.
To get the broadest range of protection against cysts or cyanotoxins, the carbon filters in select LifeStraw products with 2-stage filtration can absorb and reduce 80-85% of the remaining excreted extracellular toxins from the spore ruptures.
The following LifeStraw products contain carbon filters in addition to hollow fiber membrane filters: LifeStraw Steel, LifeStraw Universal, LifeStraw Go with 2-stage filtration, LifeStraw Flex, LifeStraw Flex w/ Gravity Bag LifeStraw Play, and LifeStraw Home water filter pitcher.

Hi there! Please note cutting the hose may decrease the flow rate.
