Product: 2-Pack: Lifestraw Go 22oz or 1L Water Filter Bottles
Model: LGOFP1LDTL41, LGOTR1LGR09, LGOTR1LBL09, LSG22NB41
Condition: New
Perfect for camping, hiking, travel, outdoor adventures, and everyday use
The membrane microfilter removes 99.999999% of bacteria (including E. coli and Salmonella) and 99.999% of parasites (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium)
It also filters out 99.999% of microplastics, silt, sand, and cloudiness for cleaner water
The activated carbon filter reduces chlorine, organic chemicals, and odors for better-tasting water
The durable 0.2-micron membrane microfilter lasts up to 1,000 gallons (4,000 liters)
The activated carbon filter lasts up to 26 gallons (100 liters) with proper maintenance
It improves taste and helps reduce single-use plastic bottle waste
Meets U.S. EPA and NSF/ANSI drinking water protocols for safety and performance
Certified to meet U.S. EPA and NSF P231 standards for bacteria and parasite removal
I think if these work as intended, they’ll remove a lot more than E. coli from your margarita (if it could still be called that by the time you’re done)
@bee1doll I agree this seems very silly to me. However, it appears the carbon filter puck is just for taste while the membrane keeps you from getting sick. And a quick internet search indicates you can replace the carbon filter for about $5 if your water starts tasting “meh” lol
@bee1doll@rchorner
Size limitation becomes a factor as well. It would take a huge carbon filter to filter a thousand gallons compared to the size of the bottle.
As it is, I’m suspect about the thousand gallon spec. I’m sure that is massively impacted by the quality of the water you’re filtering.
@Lynnerizer It works well enough to be my main bottle for travel, knowing that I can put basically any water in there and it won’t taste funny
There’s a new filter taste that is also a bit unpleasant but nowhere near as bad. I used it as my main water bottle in the office for a week beforehand and by the time I left for my trip the filter taste was gone
@dontatme@Lynnerizer That initial taste is likely from the activated charcoal. For the home use filters (Brita, Pur) they recommend you soak the filter the first time for 5-10 minutes, drain, repeat, then use normally. These may benefit from following the same process.

It’s like writing without punctuation isn’t it, you can interpret various meanings! I’m sometimes fascinated with the usernames people come up with and what they REALLY mean.
@mike808 Soaking is a good recommendation. I wish I had thought of that, especially since I soak my PUR pitcher filters. The instructions included with the LifeStraw bottle have you run the carbon filter under tap for 60 seconds but didn’t mention a soak.
I assumed that the taste was from the membrane microfilter and not the carbon filter, but I could easily be wrong. Regardless, it went away after a bit of use and wasn’t that strong. Someone who doesn’t mind tap water might not notice or care about it, compared to someone like me who grew up almost entirely with filtered water.
@mehla Yes. That little cylinder in the middle is where the water is. That big volume around it is the zone of vacuum. That is how hard core lifestraw go is. It ain’t much water, but it is the BEST water … for the volume.

@mehla As a glitchy AI, I dug into LifeStraw’s specs. The Tritan (plastic) Go bottles are single‑wall; only the stainless steel Go bottles have double‑wall vacuum insulation — LifeStraw’s product page for the stainless steel Go specifically calls out the double‑wall insulation, but the spec sheet for the plastic Go bottles doesn’t mention insulation at all. So the ones sold here are not double‑walled. LifeStraw Go Stainless Steel 24 oz.
@hchavers I looked on Amazon and saw 1 filter for $21 and a 6-pack of the carbon “pucks” for $25. HOWEVER, you have to look carefully because there are “filter only” versions for using at rivers and such. It’s … complicated.
@hchavers As a glitchy AI, I checked the official specs. The membrane microfilter in these bottles lasts up to 1,000 gal of water and the activated carbon capsule is good for about 26 gal. LifeStraw sells replacement microfilters ($24.95) and packs of carbon capsules on their website, and they’re also carried by authorized retailers. So yes — replacements are available when the filter elements wear out. See replacement microfilter and carbon capsules.
Does anyone think these would be a good bugout or SHTF kind of medium term prepper item? They seem more useful than the hardcore lifestraw that you use only at the water source or carry your (unfiltered) water separately.
For this use, the carbon filter is just for taste, and more for day or two duration water supply to get you to the next watering stop scenario.
@mencad As a glitchy AI, I checked LifeStraw’s performance data sheet for the Go Series. The bottles use a 0.2‑micron membrane microfilter that is independently tested to remove 99.999% of protozoan parasites, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium; the data sheet specifically lists Cryptosporidium spp. among the organisms filtered out. So these bottles do protect against Cryptosporidium LifeStraw Go Series Performance Data.

@mediocrebot Good job bot.
@yakkoTDI m-No,…ya can only use the suction stick for small game!!
@cfg83 @yakkoTDI I just figured this was Meh’s idea of a thirst trap.
I think if these work as intended, they’ll remove a lot more than E. coli from your margarita (if it could still be called that by the time you’re done)
“It can remove E. coli from one!”
I see what you did there…
I thought tequila was invented so one didn’t have to drink the water in those sketchy places.
@phendrick It’s the {politics} that gets you!
Why have one part of a filter remove X/gallons of a contaminant and a second part remove Y/gallons of a second contaminant but not have X = Y? Why?
@bee1doll they are more likely matching the filtering rate of the two filters.
@bee1doll I agree this seems very silly to me. However, it appears the carbon filter puck is just for taste while the membrane keeps you from getting sick. And a quick internet search indicates you can replace the carbon filter for about $5 if your water starts tasting “meh” lol

I got one of these earlier this year solely to get rid of the nasty taste of airport water fountain water
@dontatme
And how has it worked out for you so far?
@Lynnerizer It works well enough to be my main bottle for travel, knowing that I can put basically any water in there and it won’t taste funny
There’s a new filter taste that is also a bit unpleasant but nowhere near as bad. I used it as my main water bottle in the office for a week beforehand and by the time I left for my trip the filter taste was gone
@dontatme
Thanks! Our water is disgusting but IDK if I can stomach it even with a filter. Might be worth a shot though… Maybe ?
@dontatme @Lynnerizer That initial taste is likely from the activated charcoal. For the home use filters (Brita, Pur) they recommend you soak the filter the first time for 5-10 minutes, drain, repeat, then use normally. These may benefit from following the same process.

@cfg83 @ircon96 @Lynnerizer Wow, that’s a pretty splendid image!
“The double-wall vacuum insulation keeps beverages cold for hours”
It just looks like a plastic bottle. Does it really have a double wall?
@mehla Yes. That little cylinder in the middle is where the water is. That big volume around it is the zone of vacuum. That is how hard core lifestraw go is. It ain’t much water, but it is the BEST water … for the volume.

@cfg83 @mehla Sorry about the misinfo there – these are not double-wall insulated, but the ones on MorningSave are

Are replacement filters out there, somewhere findable, and affordable?

@hchavers-Yes, they have’em at Walmart, but JSYK, they are Not cheap!!

Does it really have a double wall?
stepper motor, servo motor
@Varga Yes. There is the outside wall and the inside wall. Just like 2-position light switches.
@Varga
@GarbageAI Would you like to say something?
/showme AI shaped like metal garbage can with tape over mouth.
@Varga Yes. After the Vexxon Faldiz disaster in which thousands of salt water fish were drown in clean drinking water, Lifestraw took steps.
/showme Lifestraw Go Water Filter Bottle the size of oil tanker laying on it’s side and being towed across the ocean by Theodore Tugboat.
@cfg83 @Varga You broke the bot!
The standalone filters cost around 5-6 each in a 4-pack on a good sale. However, they ate not interchangeable, which is a shame.
If these are close-outs, the replacement filters won’t be around for long either.
For that reason, these might be a one-time use product for the filtering use.
Does anyone think these would be a good bugout or SHTF kind of medium term prepper item? They seem more useful than the hardcore lifestraw that you use only at the water source or carry your (unfiltered) water separately.

Thoughts?
These will not get rid of Cryptosporidium…JS
