LifeStraw Go Series 1L – Purpose-Driven, Lab-Tested Water Filtration for Everyday and Adventure
The LifeStraw Go Series 1L is a robust, BPA-free water filter bottle engineered for those who demand safe, great-tasting water on the move—whether hiking, traveling, or preparing for emergencies. This bottle harnesses a two-stage filtration system: a membrane microfilter (0.2 micron) that removes 99.999999% of bacteria (including E. coli and Salmonella), 99.999% of parasites (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), and microplastics, plus an activated carbon filter to reduce chlorine, odors, and organic chemicals for improved taste. The microfilter lasts up to 1,000 gallons (about five years of daily use), and the carbon filter lasts up to 26 gallons (about two months).
Every purchase of a LifeStraw product directly supports LifeStraw’s Give Back program, providing a child in need with a year of safe water access. The Go Series 1L is independently lab-tested to meet US EPA and NSF standards, and is designed for real-world reliability—whether in the backcountry, on the road, or at home. It features a leakproof mouthpiece, ergonomic handle, and comes in multiple colors. LifeStraw is a certified B Corp and Climate Neutral Certified brand, committed to both scientific rigor and measurable social impact.
