LifeStraw : New GO Filter Bottles Gear News

Starting to hit the shops now are the updated LifeStraw GO filter bottles in Tritan Renew and insulated Stainless Steel - 650/700ml and 1litre volumes.

The renowned filter bottle receives a number of significant updates…….the cap is completely changed to a "Tote Handle" style, the filter media has been re-engineered for improved flow rate and security, plus there is a complete new set of modern, fresh colours to choose from.

New Cap and Spout

The cap assembly is completely redesigned to feature a super secure tote carrying or clip-able handle, so you can have your GO bottle wherever you may travel.

Re-engineered Filter Media and Cartridge

The filter media (ie the tiny straws inside!) have been re-engineered for enhanced flow rate (~1000ml per minute) – and the cartridge reworked as a screw fit assembly for improved security.
 

  • Membrane microfilter protects against 99.999999% of bacteria, 99.999% of parasites, 99.999% of microplastics, silt, sand and cloudiness.
  • Activated carbon filter protects against chlorine, organic chemical matter, and removes odours for improved taste.
  • Meets NSF 42 standard for chlorine reduction.
  • IMPROVES TASTE: the Carbon filter reduces chlorine, odours + organic chemical matter.
  • LONG LASTING: The membrane microfilter lasts up to 4,000 L – that's as much as five years worth of daily use. Carbon filter lasts up to 100 litres – typically about two months.
  • SAVES WASTE: The membrane microfilter lasts the equivalent to 8,000 single use half litre plastic water bottles.

Lab Testing and Proof

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, LifeStraw's products have to work because lives depend on them. LifeStraw's testing and transparency is unparalleled using the most trusted performance criteria based on protocols established by the World Health Organization, the US EPA, NSF International and the Water Quality Association.

LifeStraw is the only water filter brand that owns and operates its own fully equipped ISO certified water laboratory capable of performing cutting edge tests on microbiological performance longevity, turbidity and other performance indicators. Internal testing is just the first step: LifeStraw also tests all products through external internationally recognized labs that are accredited by ANSI or WQA – these results are fully, publicly available as evidence dossiers : https://lifestraw.com/pages/testing .

Boots on the Ground: The Give Back Program - How it Works

For every 500 products we sell, LifeStraw in a school install a LifeStraw Community purifier to a school in need which provides safe water to 100 school children for a period of five years. Put another way, one purchase of any LifeStraw product provides a year of safe water to a child in need, five purchases provide that child with safe water for the next five years.

LifeStraw doesn't just "drop off" the Community Filter – LifeStraw makes a minimum 5 year commitment to support that school or community with on-site training and year round support delivered by a team of directly employed local staff, plus an army of volunteers. Since the programme began, well in excess of 7million kids have received one year of safe clean water.

This is just one aspect of LifeStraw's incredible contribution to water health in needful communities around the world, learn more at:
