How water filter straws work

Plus, the material is similar to what manufacturers used in fabricating Apollo astronauts’ visors – a polycarbonate shell, which is incredibly tough and resistant to impact.

Should you be using a system with a long life filter we recommend regular maintenance and decontamination of that filter to help prevent organic bacteria growth and odours. Our concern over long life filters is without laboratory or high level decontamination processes such as autoclave sterilisation you cannot be 100% sure the growing bacteria inside the filter has been killed, not to mention the repeated cleaning processes and down time required. These high temperature decontamination methods whilst highly effective against bacteria can in turn damage the filter media. Therefore it is good working practice to change the filter once every 2 months, or when the filter becomes hard to pull water through even if it is advertised as a long life filter. Pure Clear Filters does not manufacture or use long life filters for the reasons mentioned above and we consider anything over 1000 litres to be long life, we would also recommend that you change our filters on a 2 month basis.

But since the manufacturer says that it’s “membrane” will filter down to the .1 micron, it sounds like a decent filtration process. Water filter straws are the younger sibling of water filters and filtered water bottles. They are compact, fairly lightweight, and reusable. The straw weighs 1 OZ with a special fires filter to remove 99.99% of microorganisms in water, including the E coli. No, you cannot (and SHOULD NOT!) drink urine through a LifeStraw. It is worth noting that even the best water filter straw can only filter suspended or undissolved particles, including ionic compounds or salts.
