The LifeStraw - Drink Water Everywhere

The LifeStraw - Drink Water Everywhere


Having clean water to drink is something that many people in the world take for granted on a daily basis. With the invention of the LifeStraw, millions of people now have access to clean water no matter where they are in the world.


he LifeStraw Personal Water Filter removes 99.9% of waterborne bacteria, which makes most of the world's water unsafe to drink without proper filtering first. This Time Magazine Invention of the Year winner is light, effective and lasting making it a necessity  for any person. Whether you are unsure of the water source, want to make your water taste better or are just curious about this invention, the LifeStraw is affordable and incredible.


To use, you just submerge on end of the straw into the water and suck until the water begins to move through the membrane in the straw which cleans the water. Its recommended to scoop the water into a wide-mouthed water bottle before beginning to drink but if you enjoy squatting by a puddle, then that is okay, too. When you're finished using the straw you just blow out the excess water, replace the caps and move along. The shelf life of the product is 5 years.


Another wonderful thing about this product is the ability to provide water to people who live in communities without superior plumbing. You can donate straws to those less fortunate and give them the gift of clean water. If that doesn't make you feel awesome, I don't know what will.There are many places to purchase the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter but Amazon.com is always a better choice. The straw is $23.95 and it will definitely be money well spent.
