LifeStraw has launched the lightest and most compact water filter in its portfolio.
The LifeStraw Peak Series Solo Water Filter weighs 1.7 ounces, and measures 5.1 inches. It removes bacteria, parasites, microplastics, silt, sand, and cloudiness from drinking water.
The filter’s standard 28mm threading allows it to be easily screwed onto most common plastic water bottles. And thanks to the one-handed flip cap design and fast flow rate of three litres per minute, filling up a one-litre bottle takes 20 seconds. The Peak Series Solo Water Filter is suitable for hiking, backpacking, camping, emergencies, travel and glove compartments or keychains.
“This is a product our entire team is incredibly excited about. We set out to make the lightest filter on the market while maintaining a strong flow rate and performance, and after extensive field testing, we are really confident we have something special,” said Tara Lundy, LifeStraw’s chief brand officer.
“I’ve already tested this product on several hiking and camping trips with my family and my kids love the visual of squeezing dirty water through the filter into a clean container. At less than two ounces, no backpack, pocket, emergency bag, or glove compartment should be without one.”
LifeStraw Peak Series Solo Water Filter is priced at MSRP $29.95 (£23.60).
The product protects against 99.999999% of bacteria (including E. coli and Salmonella), 99.999% of parasites (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium) and 99.999% of microplastics. It meets US EPA & NSF P231 drinking water standards for the removal of bacteria and parasites.
The membrane microfilter lasts up to 2,000 litres.
It is made from durable and sustainable materials, including premium 50% post-consumer recycled, BPA-free plastic and top and bottom caps for leakproof storage. A backwash syringe is also included.
