      Comments about Personal Water Filter:

      This thing was super fun to use. A friend and I took a big ol' spring break trip to the Grand Canyon, Moab, and Zions National Park in Utah and Arizona. We decided we would pack water just for the car, and use this little baby the rest of the time. It was awesome. We were in the nastiest water places and it was clean as a whistle! Tasted awesome and fresh too! Drinking from the Colorado River was way fun as well. Definitely a good buy.

        Great thing to have in case of emergency/disaster happening. Hope I don't ever need to use in that situation. Will be purchasing another in 4 years.

            Comments about Personal Water Filter:

            I just scoop some water out of a river, dip the LifeStraw in the bottle, and sip. I've also drank directly from a puddle in the middle of trail to show my brother how easy it is to use. There wasn't enough water for a regular filter to uptake, but I could get it all with this one.

            The very first sip takes a bit of sucking to get it to come through the straw, but after that it's very easy to use. Blow back into it if it stops flowing, and after every use. Pretty simple.

            • Personal Water Filter

              Q:

              In the product specs it says that the LifeStraw has a "5 year" shelf! If this is correct if/when you ship out the product what is the shelf life at that time? Have you had the product for 1 year? 2 years? 3 years? How long will the filter be good for, for me? Or my children?

              I ask this as I have never seen this on any type of filter, and I have been backpacking for many, many years and have gone through many, many filters (well until I got my Sawyer).

              Thank you for your time and have a great day,

                A:

                LifeStraw tests their product with dirty water in the lab, and the guarantee the product for 1000 liters / 264 gallons. They gauge an average of 5 years to reach this capacity, though water quality is certainly a variable when considering the time frame or gallon capacity.
