What happens if LifeStraw gets clogged?

If LifeStraw gets clogged, it will be difficult to draw water through it, reducing its efficiency. The most common cause of clogging is using the filter in murky or sediment-heavy water sources. When this happens, the flow rate decreases, indicating it's time for cleaning. You can back-flush the filter to clear it out and restore water flow, but if a clog is severe, the filter may need to be replaced. Regular maintenance, including back-flushing after each use, can prevent clogging issues. PRO TIP: Always carry clean water for back-flushing during your outdoor trips. CONSIDERATION: If you're in a very muddy area, consider using a pre-filter to protect the LifeStraw from clogging.
