Reviews

2nd Lifestraw Mission

"This is my 2nd Lifestraw Mission and these are excellent purifiers. I bought my first one over 10 years ago and its probably about to meet its end. This thing will purify some nasty water. I've definitely put it to the test over the years. Great product!"

12 L gravity

"It was slow but it worked"

John B. (3/5)

"Such a peace of mind."

IDK Yet. . .

"I put it away in my emergency supplies in case of a major earthquake up here in the Pacific NW. I am counting on the reputation of LifeStraw that it will work as the instruction reads if/when I need to use it. Thanks. I will later review your countertop glass pitcher which I also bought."

Renee S. (5/5)

A gift of security

"Got this as a gift for a friend who wanted a “go bag”. ” For emergencies. He will find great comfort in having it. ."

Items for Emergency Use

"I purchased this stuff for our family emergency stash, so I don't plan on using it any time soon. Have not used your products before, but have heard good things, so I guess we will see. I was a bit taken aback by the cost of the goods in Canadian dollars, and the shipping cost, but could not really find your products available with any sort of good selection in Canada, so went to you directly. But I weighed the cost of the product against the risk of not having a simple way to purify water in an emergency, so. . . ."

Love The Concept!

"Although I haven't tried the product yet, I appreciate having this for times when there may not be safe drinking water. Packaging and delivery were great. Thank you LifeStraw!"

Arlene W. (5/5)

Amazing company!

"Bought the 12L mission in 2017, ended up losing the hose and quick clip between the bag and filter. They didn't have any replacement parts, so they sent me a whole new 12L Mission filter! Now that's some amazing customer service! I will always recommend this company!"

Brandon R. (5/5)

"Works well. Wish the flow rate was a little higher but since it’s a passive system it works for me."

Paul (5/5)

Freedom

"Four of us went deep into the mountains for a vacation for the last two years. We would have to make at least three to four trips a week,23 miles round trip for water. With life straw ,that ended. Worked fantastic. Keeper up with the demand and more. Thank you. Jay"

Q&A

All of a sudden our product started leaking from the hose connection? The filter and hose was fine the other day and then on the next when I connected it, it leaked like a tap?!? We’ve used it for some years already on our overlanding trip and without any issues. Packed it every time the same and now overnight this happened? Any fixes for this? The quick commect seems fine and the problem seems to be in the white ring with the spring?? We depend on this product to get clean water on many days, and currently being in Brazil, this was a nasty sudden surprise. Can you help, please? Thank you!
Hello, I'm so sorry to hear that your Mission is leaking. Without photos, I can't be sure but it sounds like the small red/ orange seal that should be around the connector hose may be missing. We will send you a separate email to see if we can better assist.
What’s the life expectancy of this filter?
Hi Ken, The LifeStraw Mission will last for 18,000 liters of water (4,755 gal). The flow rate will begin to slow and eventually clog when it is time to replace. If the filter is unused, the filters do not have a expiration date as long as they are stored correctly. Once used, please follow our instructions for any care, which is available online https://help.lifestraw.com/category/199-product-guides. I hope this helps answer your question!
When will the replacement filters be back in stock?
Thank you for your inquiry. We are currently working on restocking the item, but we do not have a specific date for when it will be available. The Mission filter is designed to last for approximately 18,000 liters, which equates to about 13.3 years of use for one adult before it needs replacement.
How long does the filter last?
The Mission filter is designed to last for approximately 18,000 liters, which equates to about 13.3 years of use for one adult before it needs replacement.
How long does one filter last?
If you have the LifeStraw Mission or Family, the filter can last up to 18,000 liters of water filtered. It will slow and eventually clog when it needs to be repalced. Keep in mind, lifespan can be impacted by the quality of the water being filtered, ongoing care, and storage. Please refer to the product guide and manual for best practices. Thanks!
Can I use this in Mexico
Thank you for your question. The Mission's capabilities to remove microbiological pathogens is super useful in any location you want to protect yourself from waterborne disease. The Mission will protect you from viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and parasites.
I backflushed the lifestraw mission without water in the bag. Is that ok?
You shouldn't have any issues with backflushing without water in the bag. When backflushing, you are forcing water in the filter backward so it shouldn't be affected by the water in the bag itself.
Replacement filters?
Hello Kevin! The replacement filter for the Mission can be found below. https://lifestraw.com/products/lifestraw-mission-replacement-filter-with-hose?variant=19720105427055
We have a creek running thru our land and there is some farm fields that run off into it would this filtration device make the water drinkable , thinking of going with the mission system
Hi there! We would love to any offer assistance if you have questions. You can email us at info@lifestraw.com for support.
Would like to get something like this for camping, but it's not clear from the marketing how well it packs away for future use. We may go car camping 3-4 times a year. Does the filter handle some use, then inactivity while it's in storage for months? Thanks
Hello Chris! None of our products have a shelf life as long as it is cleaned and stored correctly. The Mission will work for 18,000 liters of water during it's lifetime and clog when you need a new filter.
