How does LifeStraw filtration technology work?

LifeStraw products use hollow fiber membrane filtration to physically remove contaminants. Microfilters (~0.2 microns) are designed to remove bacteria, parasites, microplastics, and dirt/silt. Ultrafilters/purifiers (~0.02 microns) can remove viruses (product-dependent). Some systems combine filtration with activated carbon and ion exchange to reduce certain chemicals and heavy metals.

What contaminants do LifeStraw products remove?

LifeStraw products remove bacteria, parasites, microplastics, and dirt/silt through microfiltration. Select products with ultrafiltration or purification technology also remove viruses. Some systems include activated carbon and ion exchange to reduce certain chemicals and heavy metals. All claims are backed by standards-aligned testing protocols.
