WE TAKE WATER SCIENCE SERIOUSLY WITH OUR RIGOROUS TESTING PROCESS
useD in some of the harshest conditions around the world our products have to work because lives depend on them.
That's why we rigorously test every product to ensure it performs when and where it's needed most. From microbiological filtration to durability under extreme conditions, we exceed global safety standards because failure is not an option.
INDEPENDENT LAB TESTING
Our testing and transparency is unparalleled and we use the most trusted performance criteria based on protocols established by the World Health Organization, the US EPA, NSF International and the Water Quality Association.
All Lifestraw Products
Remove: LOG 8 (99.999999%) for Bacteria
LOG 5 (99.999%) for parasites/amoebas/cysts
LOG 5 (99.999%) for microplastics BPA FREE
FDA Food Grade Materials
microbiological testing
The only accepted scientific evaluation of microbiological filtration performance is log values (the number of 9s in 99.999999%). PERIOD. All internationally accepted protocols from ANSI, WQA, NSF International, the US EPA, and the World Health Organization evaluate performance through log removal testing. None of these bodies will certify anyone based on pore size; it is ACTUAL PERFORMANCE that matters. LifeStraw products exceed all log-based performance standards.
MADE USING THE SAFEST & STRONGEST MATERIALS TO WITHSTAND THE TOUGHEST CONDITIONS
We use the toughest materials with minimal extra parts. We have a history of working in some of the harshest conditions around the world. That’s why we test our products not only for technical performance but also for durability in use and in transportation.
4 STEP QUALITY CONTROL WE TEST 100% OF OUR FILTERS
Resistance Test At High Pressure
Bubble Test To Confirm Pore Size
Bacteria Particle Test
Every Batch Gets Sent For A Full Removal Test
MEET OUR TEAM OF WATER SCIENTISTS
LifeStraw is the only water filter brand that owns and operates its own fully equipped ISO certified water laboratory capable of performing cutting edge tests on microbiological performance longevity, turbidity and other performance indicators. Internal testing is just our first step: LifeStraw also tests all products through external internationally recognized labs that are accredited by ANSI or WQA and all results are fully available as evidence dossiers.
