Product Information

No, you cannot (and SHOULD NOT!) drink urine through a LifeStraw. It is worth noting that even the best water filter straw can only filter suspended or undissolved particles, including ionic compounds or salts. Many so-called “clean water straws” litter the market, offering outlandish claims of near-perfect water contaminant removal. Although NatureNova’s assertions might seem unfounded, the immense satisfaction from its customers proves otherwise.

Should you be using a system with a long life filter we recommend regular maintenance and decontamination of that filter to help prevent organic bacteria growth and odours. Our concern over long life filters is without laboratory or high level decontamination processes such as autoclave sterilisation you cannot be 100% sure the growing bacteria inside the filter has been killed, not to mention the repeated cleaning processes and down time required. These high temperature decontamination methods whilst highly effective against bacteria can in turn damage the filter media. Therefore it is good working practice to change the filter once every 2 months, or when the filter becomes hard to pull water through even if it is advertised as a long life filter. Pure Clear Filters does not manufacture or use long life filters for the reasons mentioned above and we consider anything over 1000 litres to be long life, we would also recommend that you change our filters on a 2 month basis. The three-stage water filter is lightweight with a pre-filter- membrane for efficient removal of contaminants in water. Advantages Fitted With 3 –Stage Water Filter
