LifeStraw Steel Personal Water Filter with 2 Stage Carbon Filtration for Hiking

 The award-winning LifeStraw water filter technology has evolved with the addition of a 2-stage filtration system and a sleek, durable steel straw body. In addition to the hollow fiber membrane found in the original LifeStraw personal water filter, which filters out virtually all bacteria and protozoa, the LifeStraw Steel offers the additional benefits of a replaceable activated carbon capsule, which reduces chemicals such as chlorine as well as organic compounds—including pesticides and herbicides—for up to 100 liters. The result is better tasting and odor-free water, straight from the source. Removes a minimum 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria (>log 6 reduction) and surpasses EPA standards for water filters, and removes minimum 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites (>log 3 reduction) and filters to an amazing 0.2 microns. As with the original LifeStraw, the LifeStraw Steel requires no batteries, pumping or waiting, providing quick access to clean water on-the-go from lakes, rivers, and streams. The food-grade stainless steel housing is sturdy and meets FDA standards, and the sleek, portable design makes it ideal for camping, backpacking, and international travel. An essential component of any emergency prepardness or disaster survival kit, no home, car, or bugout bag should be without one. The filtration straw includes a steel cap for extra durability. Membrane filters up to 1,000 liters. Measures 9 x 1 x 1 inches; weighs 4.2 ounces. For each LifeStraw purchased, one child in a developing community receives safe drinking water for an entire school year
