Q&A

Does it still filter out the Mac bacteria at 0.2 microns?

Yes. The LifeStraw Go Series Glass uses LifeStraw’s membrane microfilter technology, which has a 0.2 micron pore size and is designed to filter bacteria, parasites, and microplastics from drinking water. We cannot confirm species specific reduction for MAC unless that organism is included in the product’s verified testing documentation. At this time, we do list Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but not Mycobacterium avium complex specifically.

I know the bottle filters lead, but is the glass bottle itself lead-free?

Hello! Thank you for your question. Yes. The LifeStraw Go Series Glass bottle is made from borosilicate glass and is lead free. All materials that contact drinking water are tested and approved for safe food and beverage use.

I now own, for about 3 weeks, a go series 20-ounce glass bottle. Very pleased with the quality thus far. First, is it necessary to remove the fiberglass shield from the bottle prior to washing? Second, If I use the bottle at least once a week and exclusively drink tap water, is it necessary to store the membrane filter in salt water consistently, or will a thorough rinsing usually suffice? Thanks so much for your kind help.

Hello, I’m glad you’re enjoying your Go Series 20 ounce glass bottle. First, you do not need to remove the silicone sleeve prior to washing. However, it is recommended to remove it occasionally so both the glass and the sleeve can dry completely. This helps prevent moisture buildup between the sleeve and bottle, which can lead to mold over time. Second, if you are using the bottle at least once a week and primarily filtering tap water, you do not need to store the membrane filter in salt water. Salt storage is intended for long term storage when the filter will not be used for an extended period. With regular weekly use, a thorough rinse of the membrane with clean water is sufficient. It is important not to let the membrane dry out. After rinsing, reassemble the bottle or keep the filter in a clean, sealed environment to prevent drying. Regular rinsing and consistent use will help maintain flow rate and extend the life of the filter.

Does it filter fluoride?

Hello! Thanks for getting in touch with us! The LifeStraw products are designed to remove contaminants such as bacteria, parasites, microplastics, heavy metals (including lead), PFAS, and more depending upon the specific filter. However, it does not remove fluoride, as our focus is on reducing harmful contaminants while retaining essential minerals.
