How did we get our start?
It all began with a simple idea: a mesh filter designed as a straw to fight guinea worm disease. In 1994, LifeStraw partnered with The Carter Center to design a simple mesh filter to remove Guinea worm larvae from drinking water. Since then we have designed water filtration for outdoors and home.
What makes our products unique?
Every LifeStraw product removes bacteria, parasites, and microplastics.
Why do we love what we do?
We have humanitarian roots and believe that impact matters. To us, it's not just water filters, its ensuring equitable access to safe water for all

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My biggest complaint is the dispenser spout is rather slow (small hole) and needs to be held the entire time (no lock). Others have mentioned it leaks after some time; I've been using mine for four months and haven't encountered this yet.
However, after about 7 months, I noticed water dripping a bit. Over the following weeks, it increased. I did not realize it was so bad until I opened the vegetable drawer directly below the shelf on which this unit sat, and it was full of about 2 cups of water!! SO DISAPPOINTING!!
The way to release the water to flow from the bottom is a spring loaded 'toggle' push button. It does not automatically stay open, you must continuously hold it open for the water to flow. After a period of time, the spring wears down. The unit will no longer hold ANY water inside without leaking.
I bought extra filters, so I will use it until these are used up, but to use the unit, I have to fill it, and let it sit over the sink to complete the filtering process, then empty the water into another 'water tight' container for storage in the refrigerator for use. I would recommend this company redesign the 'spigot' to be a turn valve that can stay open without having to keep it pushed open with your finger and toggles completely closed!! Until there are improvements I warn you to stay away!!
Original post: I was so excited to get this and as soon as I rinsed it off and filled it with water, the plastic around the spout is leaking. It’s behind the valve, it seems, so it may just be faulty manufacturing? Water is slowly dripping from the bottom of the plastic piece that wraps around the spout. Idk, I might try the glass pitcher instead, major bummer. I love the concept and the water tastes great, but a redesign seems like it would help with quality of overall product.
I finally was grossed out by the taste enough to look inside the nozzle though and there was some nasty growth showing up! part of it could be hard water build-up but the gunk that wasn't hard was just nasty stuff sticking around even after cleaning and rinsing with soap and vinegar.
Update: I was able to get ahold of them and they are sending us a replacement! !THey are great
