How long can I use my LifeStraw?

You can typically use a LifeStraw for up to 4,000 liters of water, depending on water quality. This lifespan can vary based on how clean the source water is; murkier water can clog filters more quickly. It’s important to note that after the filter reaches its capacity, it becomes less effective and should be replaced. Lifespan can also be affected by how well you clean and maintain the filter. Regularly flushing your filter with clean water can help extend its life. Many users report that by keeping the filter clean and using it responsibly, they can maximize its lifespan. PRO TIP: Always back-flush the filter after heavy use to maintain flow rate. CONSIDERATION: If you expect to use the filter extensively, consider investing in additional filters or larger filter systems.
