Home– Water Filter Pitcher, 7-Cup, Glass with Silicone Base, Pebble, for Everyday Protection Against Bacteria, Parasites, Microplastics, Lead, Mercury, PFAS and a Variety of Chemicals

I bought this product to ensure that the family drinking water is as safe as it can possibly be. The drinking water where I live is river sourced. The problem with this is that we are all aware of declining potable water quality arising from toxins and increasing water temperatures. I also have a sediment and chemical reducing water pitcher for cooking and the pets. As for the LifeStraw glass pitcher, after assembly and following the use instructions I did not experience any of the leaks or problems I read in other reviews. It works as intended. The water is impeccably clean and I trust reducing microorganisms. Great tasting water too! As for the comments concerning slowness, the filter system is indeed SLOW. It takes about 30 minutes for the water cone to drain. What I do to compensate for this is to keep the pitcher topped up by refilling after a glass or two of water to avoid running out. As I said the alternate water pitcher is used for cooking and pets and is a fast fill for this purpose. I have used other inline systems for water purity and find the LifeStraw is easier and cheaper to maintain. I would not hesitate to buy this product again. I will be adding a LifeStraw hiking filter to my vehicle travel kit. Finally, I appreciate what the company does in bringing potable water filters to problematic countries and thus accept the slowness. For a good clip on this subject watch Dan Becker's YouTube trip to Africa with the LifeStraw Program.

Absolutely love this filter, I can taste the difference and I'm so happy to not use plastic anymore. Best and most used purchase of the year, I recommend it to all my friends. Great water quality and value for money. It is slow and you need to refill many times, but I got so used to it, I fill several bottles at a time for the refrigerator and it has worked great. Probably not for a house with many people though.

Filtering water on the first few go rounds is sloooowwwww. Science. After the filtering materials are sufficiently water soaked and broken in, the filtering process is not so long. Everyone in my household knows to refill after a certain point. So far, so good. It’s beautiful. And the vase is glass. I appreciate not having to remove the top to add more water to the pitcher. The design is sanitary and practical. The water is delicious and safe. I know this company because I have been using the original Life Straw since early 20something teen. I travel and it’s literally a life saver. This company is one of those do-gooder companies and I am proud to be part of their consumer history. Wriggling the pieces apart for the initial set up and cleaning is not the easiest. All of the tubing and caps are very tightly fitted. I cannot imagine having any type of hand issue and being able to clean or change the filters. In fact, if you view the help videos they might have even skipped that part so she looks like pulling the pieces apart are a cinch. The help video needs to be revamped to include zoom-ins and clarifying instructions. Anyway, I got through it and will only need to disassemble the pitcher every two months or so. I am happy with my decision to ignore the “it takes too long to filter” reviews and purchase this pitcher filter system over the others. Goodbye bad minerals, microplastics, black speckles, cysts and 99 percent of all bacteria.

I worked in the outdoor industry for almost a decade so I already knew LifeStraw was a reliable brand. We have highly suspicious water from our office tap and I wanted a filter so I could stop bringing in my heavy 5gal bottle. This pitcher isn't the fastest, because it WORKS. Look at what it filters compared to other more famous water filter pitcher brands- this does a lot more than just improve taste, like Brita or Waterdrop. Although it's still not super fast, the filter speed did increase dramatically after several uses. Besides, speed is not what you buy a filter for- you buy it for function. With a 7-cup capacity I don't need speed anyways, by the time I drink my water the pitcher is ready to pour and refill again. I'm harping on this because I've seen several other reviewers give this a poor review because of filtration speed. I can see how it could be tedious if you have a big household, but if you care about more than how your water tastes, you're gonna sacrifice speed for filtration quality. Also so glad in comes with a glass pitcher- a little less plastic never hurt anyone. Get this pitcher.

Didn’t want to leave a bad review because let’s be honest I love the product it takes amazing, looks great, it was simple to put together. However if you are used to standard filters this one is going to be a learning curve. Such a learning curve that I had to email support because of how slow the filtration was. Their result being that my area in NYC is high sediment water, so I would have to clean my filter every two weeks, to improve the flow. Like I love that it works, you can see it then you go clean it. Makes me not want to drink faucet water ever again. My solution? I bought a second one. So I have one filling up while I use the primary one. This is not for everyone, but it works for me. So unfortunately I have to give this three stars because, realistically to serve water for more than one person is not gonna suffice.

Great product. Water tastes like it did when I was a kid. Classy design and functional. Would recommend.

If you enjoy watching paint dry or have over an hour to keep adding water to the pitcher so it can filter ONLY a pitcher’s worth of water then this product is for you. If you’re looking for a product that takes less than 10 minutes to filter water then DONT BUT THIS SLOW, SLOW, SLOOOOOOWWW water filter pitcher! If this company doesn’t fix that HUGE product deficiency there are other companies that will and then this company is out of business.

I have a zero water filter that I use for getting rid of particulates and smell for cooking, but it makes the water taste a little funny and dead. This bad boy actually filters, the dangerous stuff out of water like micro plastics, bacteria and most importantly for people who need to nasally irrigate like me, amoebas. No more need to boil or buy distilled water. Oh, and the carbon filter works well to get rid of offensive odors, but doesn't make the water taste dead

Very happy with my purchase. The water has no taste and the jug filters well. It's not super fast but that's ok as the results are great. I read that some people have trouble with the filter being too slow at the start. I soaked my filter in water for five minutes before inserting it into the jug and gave it a bit of a shake so that the bubbles disappeared. The filter worked well from the start. The jug looks very modern and is easy to fill. I just add water when I pass the jug and leave it on my benchtop. Great to know that my water is very clean.

I love it! The water tastes much better, and I am saved from microplastics, and other harmful things in the water

Lovely tasting filtered water. I wish I found this earlier

Best tasting water I’ve ever had. It is slow to fill but is totally worth it.
