The LifeStraw Home 7-Cup Plastic water filter pitcher is engineered for those who demand both high-protection filtration and real-world impact at home. Unlike standard pitchers, LifeStraw Home removes 99.999999% of bacteria, 99.999% of parasites, and 99.999% of microplastics, while also reducing lead, mercury, PFAS (including PFOA and PFOS), chlorine, herbicides, and pesticides—all while retaining essential minerals like magnesium and potassium. Its dual-filtration system (membrane microfilter plus activated carbon and ion exchange) ensures safer, great-tasting water. Thoughtfully designed from BPA-free, FDA food-grade plastic, the pitcher is easy to use, maintain, and fits seamlessly into daily routines.

"We love the taste of the water your unit produces. Overall very pleased with it. When the unit is full I sometimes have difficulty Filling a glass. It feels like I have very little control of the pitcher. Perhaps a wider handle would help and maybe a little lower on the body closer to its center of gravity when full. Overall it's a fine product! Well done. . . . . ."
"I can’t tell you how much better I feel knowing that microplastics aren’t invading my body and brain! It’s so easy to use, and looks so stylish out on my counter. I fill it every morning, and it only takes a short few minutes to filter."
"I am thrilled so far with my new LifeStraw 10 Cup pitcher! The water tastes great, my coffee and tea are better, I'm confident it is filtering out all the horrible things in our water and I am pleased to be contributing to clean water for others in this world! And it's beautiful!"
"This is a lovely glass pitcher and, after sufficiently priming the filter, the water is clean and delicious. However, it's quite heavy, even when filled only half-way. I supposed that's the compromise to be made for choosing glass over plastic. Also, because the water flow is low and slow, compared to other pitchers, one has to hold up the pitcher longer while filling a glass. So for anyone who has trouble lifting and gripping heavy-ish objects, the glass option may not be ideal for you."
"I'm very happy with my Lifestraw glass pitcher. It's a little slow to refill, especially when filling up my 32oz water bottle. The water itself, though is very good and has no plastic taste which was the reason for my purchase. My home has plastic water lines and I can't stand the taste or smell. LIFESTRAW gets rid of it completely. Eventually, I might get the larger pitcher."
"After breaking in the filter(s) after a couple uses I have no complaints! It filters relatively fast and the water is great. Gives me peace of mind to be drinking clean water free of PFAS, microplastics, and any other bacteria. Great product for a good price and the filters have a nice lifespan."
"We're in the process of converting to all Lifestraw. We used Brita before, but now use the home filter unit and this new pitcher. The community unit is boxed in the garage in case water supply becomes a serious problem. The new pitcher is easy to use and uses the same filter as our home unit. We like it, keep it coming!"
"I appreciate the glass reservoir for purified water. It makes more sense than plastic. I'm still getting accustomed to filling it from the tap. The water really has no taste and that's a good thing. I'm trying to drink more water and this helps"
"My first time- the water tastes good, and I feel comforted that it’s a glass pitcher- But…. This seven cup water filter system is SLOW!!!! - it’s just my husband and I- so one would think a seven cup pitcher would be sufficient for our daily use- I looked into a bigger size but it plastic (PBA free- but still Plastic)"
"The good news is that this great company replaced it quickly when it broke. The bad news is that the plastic housing is so so tight I accidentally broke it trying to replace filter. So be careful!"
