LifeStraw Home – Water Filter Pitcher, 10-Cup, BPA Free Designed for Everyday Protection Against Bacteria, parasites, microplastics, Lead, Mercury, PFAS, and a Variety of Chemicals

The Freshest Tasting Water
The water from this is phenomenal. It honestly feels like even the texture of the water is somehow softer and better. I love that it directly states it can be stored countertop, as many filters specifically say fridge only.It DOES take a long time to fill. Don’t let the videos showing a steady stream fool you, they either tampered with their filter or it is faulty. Even after two weeks of filling the pitcher 2-3 times daily, I don’t get anywhere near that speed. I do, however, get about the speed LifeStraw claims. LifeStraw very specifically says it takes about 7-10 minutes for water to drip through the cone and 25-30 minutes total to fill the entire pitcher. The water quality is just insane though, and the fact that it filters out bacteria, parasites, chlorin, and microplastics make it totally worth a small amount of patience and preparation. I just have a large metal pitcher that I fill with the purified water, so I always have some on hand, and whenever I pass through the kitchen I pour water into the pitcher as needed.

Great filter, “lid” is a MAJOR DESIGN FLAW
I’ve now used this for years. I still choose this water filter pitcher over other water filters out there. This two filter system produces the best tasting water – backed my dad who’s very picky and apparently can taste everything and anything that it could be “contaminated” with lol. (He was how I ended up with this pitcher) After owning two of this, here’s my praise and absolute woe.PROS: Definitely filters all the “ick” in tap water that affects our cooking, drinks, etc. Ice tastes great, coffee tastes great. I’m absolutely satisfied with it! Better than other brands out there!!Pro Tip: if you need more water filtered, then just remove the cap and fill to the top. CONS: I’m pretty sure others have written the same thing. THE LID IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW. (I’m putting it in caps in hopes that LifeStraw company notices. Probably not, but worth a shot). You. CAN’T. Clean this thing!!!!! Why they made the flap not removable – I can only think they’ve never used this pitcher themselves, and never lived in a humid climate in the slightest. Moisture gets trapped in there, and even in my most meticulous attempt at keeping it dry, IT WILL GROW MOLD UGH. The silicone ring IS ALSO NOT REMOVABLE and it will grow mold around the edges. You really cant get good leverage with a sponge or anything to really scrub the filth off. I mean, I guess you *could* if you have extremely long fingers and no knuckles lol.I tried with wire cleaner. I tried with every type and shape of cleaning brush. Sponge with wires!!! Oh, and it grows mold where the flaps are connected, which, again, is impossible to get to – after years of attempting to maneuver edges of paper towels to scrape the mold off. I will say, they sure made the lid very durable because IF I COULD BREAK THAT DAMN LID OFF I WOULD HAVE. I’m tired. Of all the things going on in the world right now, THIS IS THE LAST THING I WANTED ON MY MIND. Lol.Did you know they have a YouTube channel that “shows” you how to clean this thing…. But conveniently left out how to clean this lid? And 90% of the comments asks for how to clean the lid…. but THEY DON’T ANSWER!?!?One more thing. Definitely invest in the silicone bottom cover. Without it, the plastic WILL CRACK. That’s why I’m on my 2nd one. With it, zero issues. Honestly I could live with this. But the lid frustration knocks 2 stars off. Guys, I’ve tried my best to figure it out and to live with it. I want to love it  But I’m just so done. Lol. Def recommend this pitcher, but figure out a way to break off the flap.

Great
This Lifestraw pitcher is a replacement for a Clearly Filtered pitcher I had for years. The handle broke off, it was difficult to clean, and it was very expensive, so the search began for another option. I’ve been using this Lifestraw product for a few weeks now, and I’m very happy so far. The company has a great reputation for filtering the water and actually making it safer, while also contributing to the those in need. I was able to fit the 10 cup pitcher in my refrigerator door after removing an upper shelf, which I think helps keep the pitcher cleaner than leaving it out on the counter. Also, the filling mechanism is superior to most competitors, as you don’t have to take the lid off to fill and it doesn’t leak if you pour before filtering is complete! The pitcher can become quite heavy on the wrist when filled, but I don’t see the handle breaking easily because it is located higher than others I’ve used. I did purchase the silicone base/sleeve for protection because I have children who might put it down on a hard surface, and the sleeve fit like a glove. Can I also add that the Lifestraw pitcher is actually attractive? It isn’t an eyesore on the dinner table if you entertain. That wasn’t something I required, but it is added bonus. At this time, I would definitely recommend this pitcher filter!

The LifeStraw filtered water jug is a solid choice for those looking for clean, great-tasting water on a daily basis. The filter does an excellent job of purifying water, leaving it tasting fresh and clear, without any of the usual aftertaste from tap water or bottles. It’s incredibly easy to use and does a great job of reducing contaminants, making it a reliable option for everyday hydration.My only real disappointment is the container itself—while functional, it’s not made of glass, which would have been a nice touch. A glass design would have felt more premium and sustainable compared to the plastic construction. Nevertheless, the jug is durable and does the job well, making it a great investment for improving your water quality without the need for single-use bottles.I am a picky water drinker and prefer bottled water but this tastes great and I approve!

J’adore cette carafe.Si j’ai été surprise qu’elle soit en plastique (au déballage du colis, elle ressemblait à du verre), cela me convient tout-à-fait, car je ne m’en sers pas pour stocker l’eau, mais uniquement pour filtrer l’eau du robinet.Une fois l’eau filtrée, je la verse (petit à petit) dans une cruche en verre (que je garde au frais) et dans un distributeur en verre posé sur le comptoir.Au début, il a fallu prendre le pli, et le goût des premiers essais n’était pas encore optimal, le temps que la filtration se mette en place. Ensuite, après quelques jours, le goût s’est amélioré de façon significative.Aujourd’hui, c’est parfait. L’eau ne goûte plus rien. Merci au fabricant!Cette carafe m’a réconciliée avec l’eau du robinet! C’est un succès!J’ai pourtant utilisé plusieurs systèmes différents avant celui-ci, en vain.Maintenant, j’ai trouvé ma filtration idéale, sans arrière-goût de charbon (passé quelques jours).Mon avis sur la contenance de la carafe :La carafe 7 tasses est suffisante pour 2 personnes.Si vous êtes une famille de 3 personnes, je recommande une carafe à 10 tasses.Pour 4 personnes, 2 carafes de 7 tasses, ou un distributeur.Pour les familles plus grandes, prévoir un distributeur.Mais c’est selon vos les besoins de chacun bien évidemment.Personnellement, ce format de 7 tasses me convient parfaitement. Il est déjà haut (mais rentre parfaitement dans la porte du frigo ou sur une tablette), mais il pèse un peu lourd une fois rempli, alors j’imagine que le format 10 tasses, pratique pour les familles plus grandes, est plus haut et plus lourd lorsque rempli. À savoir si vous avez à la maison de jeunes enfants, ou une personne qui souffre des bras.Concernant la vitesse de filtration, ce n’est pas aussi instantané que l’eau qui sort du robinet, certes, car l’eau coule tranquillement par un filet, mais de façon quand même assez efficace : je fais autre chose, et hop, c’est le moment de remettre de l’eau dans le filtre. Il faut s’y prendre en plusieurs fois, une routine à adopter.Ça se passe bien.Un dernier conseil :Bien suivre le mode d’emploi pour la mise en route, sans oublier le filtre à charbon et à ions calcium-magnésium, fixé sur le dessus.Bonne dégustation!
