LifeStraw Home Activated Carbon + Ion Exchange Replacement Filter

I bought it as a gift for my daughter and her boyfriend. He first introduced me to lifestraw and I have both the smaller 7 cup and the dispenser. I personally prefer water filtered thru these than any other purifier I've tried. Since they didn't have the dispenser I thought it would make a great gift. They were excited about getting it. Right now based on my previous experience, I give it 5 stars.

My daughter recommended your filtered water pitcher a year ago. We are very happy with it. I just purchased the first replacement filter. The reorder process was easy and fast. Thanks

We love our pitcher, easy to clean and I love that it isn’t all plastic

We love our pitcher! It has saved us so many trips to the store to buy gallons as we live on a well. Also, we all agree this water tastes amazing! The only downside is how often we have to fill it up and how long it takes to filter. Worth the wait though.

Sorry I took so long to answer, such a busy time of year. The new filter seems to filter the water through much faster. I am very happy about that. Thank you for replacing the first one.

Taste is better. Quality of Dispenser is impressive. Clean LifeStraw water eliminates water safety concerns which convinced us to buy LifeStraw

Easy to put together, easy to use & looks great on our counter!

Its nice knowing our water is getting filtered when we drink it. Its especially great for brewing tea.

The water dries out so slowly. I have to start filtering today to have a full pitcher by tomorrow night. Rediculous!

We bought this for our son and his wife for Christmas. They said they were really excited about it and couldn't wait to try it out!

I’ve used the water pitcher for over seven years…best, cleanest water…tastes great!

We have two berkeys, but the filter replacement is too dear and water taste is blech. We have tried other pitcher filters only to discover that they don’t remove pathogens. We like the taste, the ease of use, the low price, and the actually clean water life straw pitcher offers. I’m going to purchase one for my son and mother.

I really like the product. The only issue I’m having is that the silicone seal leaks. Not sure if this is because of the added pressure from the large amount of water in the container, or if I just have a faulty unit. It’s been happening ever since I received the item.

My city water is terrible - this filter is a life saver.

Feeling much better about the water I drink. I keep the unit on my countertop and it looks great. The set up was easy and it is easy to refill it. Most importantly, the quality of the water I am drinking has improved and tastes great. Thank you LIfeStraw, lovin my purchase.

The filtration seems to be totally fine, the pitcher itself is quite heavy and a bit awkward to pour if there is more than a couple cups of water in it. I like LifeStraw but should have gotten the smaller pitcher in hindsight. I almost wonder if the handle needs to be lower. It is very stylish looking. Especially with the silicone base.

It is a good product. Water tastes great. Easier to do this with a separate pitcher as it may not easily fit in a sink to fill that way. Saves space on the countertop. This product is nice to have near cooking spaces. Slow to dispense large amounts of water but overall I like it. Would recommend unless you need to rapidly dispense large amounts of water.

It really works. It really remove the bad taste (chemicals) in water. Fits perfectly in my fridge. Looks pretty and is practical. Very happy with this product

I do love my glass water jug I just wish the filters were made with less plastic. Water tastes delicious and again the glass container is beautifully designed.

Good afternoon, I'm a Public Health Environmental Scientist. I focus on reducing exposure pathways to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Currently, 20% of our exposure is estimated to come from contaminated drinking water. Your Lifestraw GLASS pitcher filter is the cheapest, efficient, and most affordable option I have seen on the market. I use this product for all of my water. I had one friend tell me once he started using this filter, his eczema went away. I have since sent one to a friend that runs a daycare and another that is on well water. I hope to get a full report after they have been using it for a month or so to see if their health issues have improved. Please, standby for another update on that front! I use this filter for all of my drinking and cooking. I provide water for my pets with this filter as well. Only if I am out at a restaurant or a conference will I consume coffee with a different water source. I can usually feel the difference after I have done this. I have colitis and I aim to be very careful with my diet. I can honestly tell people this filter is the best option I have found thus far. Reverse Osmosis filters are efficient, but they produce 30% waste water. The Lifestraw produces a smaller amount of "wastewater" with the initial purge, but a much smaller percentage. Some (family members) have complained it takes too long, but this does not bother me, as I would rather schedule out time to wait for the water to filter than to take years off my life. My ten year old cat, Mr. Fitzgerald, went into kidney failure in May 2025. I started using the Lifestraw filter immediately. Clean water helped to reduce the toxic load on his kidneys, and thus helped him recover. My vet was shocked he survived. He refused food for most of June. I had to use a syringe to administer wet food, water, and his 8 daily meds to him. I also gave him pre- and Post- biotic to also help reduce the toxic load on his body. He was down to 6. 3 lbs in June of 2025. As of December 21st, 2025, he is up to 9. 5 lbs! I have been meaning to reach out to ask if we could discuss a partnership. If you could send me the best email to reach out to, I can do that this week from my work email. I would love to be able to provide these filters to low and middle income families that are not able to afford other mitigation systems, those that don't have the room in their living spaces, or those that do not qualify since they rent. I speak at community events often, and usually after I explain the debacle that is PFAS to people, they want to know a path forward. I believe this filter is part of that solution. Although I have your plastic water filter for travel, I aim to not use it unless absolutely necessary. Microplastics are a concern of mine as well, so I encourage anyone that can use the glass filter, to use that option. I would love to see a larger, glass option for the vessel larger than the pitcher. I understand this might be heavy, but it would be a nice option to have. I would also like to discuss a take-back option for the used filters. I know this is not an easy task to accomplish, and thus far I do not know of any filter company doing this. However, it could help reduce PFAS and other toxins from being concentrated in landfills and our ecosystem. I'm still working on a solution to this side of the equation. Thank you for reading all your reviews. I know that must be very time consuming! I appreciate what you and your team do and I am thankful your product is an option for those that don't have clean and safe drinking water. Hang in there, and please know you're making a monumental difference for families all over the world. You're improving health and saving lives. For that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Be well, Amanda
