The LifeStraw Home + 6 Month Replacement Pack is a science-backed, rigorously tested water filter pitcher designed for health-conscious households seeking reliable, high-performance filtration and verified peace of mind. Unlike most pitchers, LifeStraw Home removes not only common contaminants like chlorine and lead, but also bacteria, parasites, microplastics, and PFAS ("forever chemicals"). Its BPA-free plastic pitcher comes with three extra carbon filter replacements, delivering a full year of protection from bacteria and parasites, and two months per carbon filter for chemical reduction. The design is sleek, sustainable, and user-friendly—helping households reduce single-use plastic.
What sets LifeStraw apart is its commitment to testing transparency and social impact. All claims are independently lab-verified to WHO, US EPA, and NSF standards, and every purchase provides a year of safe water to a child in need through LifeStraw’s Give Back program. Customers consistently praise the improved taste, build quality, and the brand’s ethical mission. Compared to Brita and ZeroWater, LifeStraw Home is the only leading pitcher to remove bacteria, parasites, and microplastics in addition to heavy metals and PFAS.
LifeStraw products have a history of use in some of the harshest conditions around the world, from refugee camps to natural disasters to extreme back-country, our products have to work because lives depend on them. 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.

"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."
"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)"
"I loved the aesthetic of this pitcher and the overall Lifestraw filtering and brand ethos. But the filter just doesn't stay secure in the pitcher. They kindly replaced my first one when we thought it might be a manufacturing defect, but the second one does the same thing. You have to use two hands to pour because it feels like the entire filter is going to fly out of the pitcher. Seems like they need a 2. 0 version where the lid really locks into the pitcher."
"I researched quite a few homewater filter options (pitchers or dispensers), and I chose this one in part because it is glass. I am trying to get away from plastics. I also liked that the two filters combined filtered out so many things I don't want in my water. I just wish the pitcher was a tiny bit shorter--it does not fit easily in my refrigerator. I now just leave it on the counter and fill a regular glass pitcher with the filtered water so we have plenty of safe, cold water to drink."
"I love this pitcher! You can really taste the difference. The water tastes so clean and crisp. It does take a little while for the pitcher to filter the water but it’s worth it! Highly recommend if you are looking to upgrade your water health!"
