The LifeStraw Go Water Bottle personal water filter has been updated with 2-stage filtration to improve the taste of filtered water and provide even better protection from contamination. In addition to the award-winning LifeStraw hollow fiber membrane filter that eliminates bacteria and protozoa, the next-generation Go Bottle incorporates a carbon capsule that reduces bad taste, odor, chlorine and organic chemical matter. The convenient, reusable LifeStraw Go personal water filter bottle is ideal for hiking, camping, or traveling to areas with poor water quality, and is a critical addition to any disaster survival kit or bugout bag. Easily to fill by scooping water from any pond, stream, or river, filtration happens while drinking through the mouthpiece. The LifeStraw Go filters water down to 0.2 microns and has been rigorously tested to surpass EPA standards for removing E. Coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium oocysts, and many other waterborne contaminants; removes 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria (> LOG 6 reduction) and 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites (>LOG 3 reduction. When the filter has reached capacity (1,000 liters / 264 gallons) it will stop taking in water. The activated carbon capsule is effective for up to 100 liters (26 gallons), or the equivalent of 3 months of continuous use. Replacement filters are available for sale separately. Made of BPA-free Tritan, the LifeStraw Go bottle is extremely durable. The food-grade silicone mouthpiece is flexible which prevents it from chipping or cracking, and is removable for easy cleaning. Use the carabiner to attach to your backpack, or store in your preparedness kit to ensure access to safe, clean drinking water in an emergency. Capacity 23 ounces. For each LifeStraw purchased, one child in a developing community receives safe drinking water for an entire school year.

Easy to sip – hereâs the trick! Felt compelled to write this review because of previous reviews I saw. There are several that state it is extremely difficult to suck water out of the straw, and I think I figured out why. If you look at my pic, youâll see that there is a small piece of cellophane wrapping the tip, and it fits very tightly. If you donât really look at it, you would not notice it. I didnât notice at first and when I tried to sip I got a tiny amount of water. Upon further inspection, I figured out that it was actually wrapped. Itâs tight so it will take you some effort to remove it, but then itâs no problem. In my pictures youâll see how it looks different when itâs on, half off, and fully removed. Hope this helps. Also, I have not noticed any leaking problem, although I just got the bottle today.
The filter quits when not used So I’m testing a few water purification methods for a backpacking trip I’m leading next year around the TRT. This bottle is my first experiment and I received it yesterday.I opened the LifeStraw Go bottle today, read all the instructions and followed them explicitly. I admit to being nervous as this filter is not fine enough to filter viruses like the bigger LifeStraw filters and some other brands of water bottles. As such, I will not give the bottle more than 4 stars without that capability.In any case, I stopped by Lake Topaz on the California/Nevada border, scooped up some water and sipped it down over the next couple of hours. I’m writing this now 9 hours later and feel no ill effects as of yet. So far so good LifeStraw Go!After reading so many other reviews, I was skeptical about the suction required to drink and the fragility of this bottle. 1) suction: I admit I’m surprised at how easy it is to drink from the straw. Although the flow rate might be a…
Try This if You Find it Difficult to Draw Water Through Your Straw I noticed mixed reviews about how easy it is to suck the water up the straw. Some users say it’s not so bad, others say it is very difficult.When I received my bottle, I fell into the latter category. My face hurt after a few sips.If you remove the carbon filter at the top altogether, the straw is very easy to draw water through. If you have a straw that is difficult to draw through, you can try the following small rework to see if it helps you. For me, it made it bearable to use the straw with carbon filter installed, after this small adjustment.Instruction:1. Remove the carbon filter from the top of the straw2. Pry open the plastic casing with finger nail3. If you can see the seam on the top of the plastic casing (this reduces the surface area for water to pass through), gentle remove the carbon bag4. Re-position the bag with seams along the cylindrical wall of the plastic casing5. Gently push and wiggle the bag…
