Reviews
Love the taste and trust the filtration.
"Starting year 2 with our Lifestraw counter filtration canister. Switched after a water test showed some bacteria which our old filter did not remove. I do wish that the lid where water is poured in was a lift up lid instead of the slider. Some of us forget to slide it closed. Also not a fan of the spigot mechanism. . . it drips sometimes. I liked the pull down better."

Great product
"I bought these filters and pitcher since I was not pleased with the big box store filters. I could still smell the chemicals and it was turning my tea kettle black fast. With Lifestraw the water is clear, it has no scent, my tea pot is staying pristine. I can’t prove there is a correlation but my hair had turned white and now it is growing back dark! The tea and coffee taste great, using same brands. I so glad that I did the research and came across this great quality filtration solution. Thank you I appreciate your company. Jane"

Love LifeStraw
"My daughter gave me a LifeStraw 7 cup plastic pitcher. I love the filtered water. I can now drink the water from my kitchen sink and it tastes good. It was easy to replace the carbon filter. I like the sleek look of the pitcher and love the easy-fill lid. Carole"
— Carole O. (5/5)
Easy for Better Water
"I like the package of home replacement filters that have enough for one year. 1 membrane filter and 3 carbon filters. I understand that replacing the filters by time rather than by amount of water filtered is easier, but I wonder if I am replacing too often for a household of one. I took a star off for the cost."
— Sophia P. (4/5)
Excellent filters
"I have the home dispenser which I keep in my refrigerator, a glass pitcher and a plastic pitcher. The plastic pitcher I ended up with while trying to buy filters but couldn’t figure out what was just filter and want was the whole unit my first try on your website. I really like having two pitchers as it turns out and successfully ordered the 6month filters on my second try. Water is great, filters lasting 3months and 6months are great. I’m totally satisfied. I recently passed on your information to friends in upstate NY who drank water from the dispenser at my house and want to order one for two houses there."
— Laurie H. (5/5)
Replacement filter
"I bought a Lifestraw Pitcher from Amazon and I couldn’t get the filter to work properly. It would take an hour to get a cup of water. I tried all the tips and tricks to fix it. I reached out to Lifestraw directly and they quickly shipped a new filter to me which works perfectly!"
— Beth B. (5/5)
I couldn't be happier
"I love this company and the filters that they sell. I recently got replacement filters for my 7 cup glass pitcher. I would recommend this product to anyone. It is beautiful on my counter, makes my water taste wonderful, and is rated to remove all of the bad contaminates, including micro plastics, that concern me. The pitcher and filters are very affordable and the customer service is awesome! I have family members who tasted my water and threw their plastic pitcher away and bought a Lifestraw. The final plus is how this company provides clean water to people around the world for every purchase I make. It makes me feel good to support this company, in more ways than one!"
— Tom (5/5)
great product
"We moved into a new home with the most fowl tap water I've ever tasted. Smelled heavily of chlorine as well. LifeWater filters are the only reason we are able to drink our water. Took away the smell and the taste is much improved."
— Melissa W. (5/5)
Convenient fast filling
"I am a repeat costumer, I like the product, I think my drinking water is healthier by using it. The water definitely tastes better and the lousy ammonia smell is gone. A discount for regular customer would be appreciated 👍"
— Elizabeth Z. (5/5)
All in one
"I wanted a filter that was not one of the 3 - 4 mass market options that performed some functions but not others. I needed a switch from a basic design to a more comprehensive one. Lifestraw seems to reliably remove most nasty toxins from the water and is well-designed. It also lasts a bit longer than other popular brands, is no more expensive, and makes the water healthier and safer."
— Mark M. (5/5)
