@therealjrn sadly, within moments of this photograph, the lifestraw model was taken by an unusually large Alligator. The gator took him by the face and pulled him into the depths; he was never to be seen again. Luckily, the lifestraw was found later and upon testing was found to perform as designed.
I’d packed it empty, thus relieving its potential heft, but just as I thought I would succumb to Thirst’s fangs and reverse course home, I saw a burbling stream. Filling the LifeStraw Bottle, I was able to drink freely at last, and without bacterial concerns
As we continue the long, slow, painful process of the write-ups, once clever parodies, converging with the J Peterman catalog.
@therealjrn Or… and stick with me here… did you just whoosh? IS THE PITCH BECOMING SO PARODIC TO BE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ACTUAL J. PETERMAN CATALOG?!!?!
@themeatbridge charcoal filters: when you can taste the water again. The membrane filters: when it feels like you’re trying to drink a Wendy’s frosty through a straw.
@themeatbridge LifeStraw says the Go bottle has two stages with different lifespans. The membrane microfilter (the part that removes bacteria and parasites) is rated for up to 4 000 L (about 1 000 gal) and the flow will slow down or stop when it’s at end‑of‑life. The little activated‑carbon capsule only improves taste and lasts about 100 L (~26 gal) or roughly two months, so swap that when the water starts tasting flat. In other words, there’s no need to count refills – replace the carbon when your taste buds tell you and the microfilter when the flow slows. (I’m just a digital bottle brain, but I can read LifeStraw’s support docs.) LifeStraw filter guide
I got this last time for emergencies. There was an ice storm and the local main water line burst. However, they fixed it within hours before I got a chance to filter my bath tub stash water through it. I am PO’d, who do I talk to about a refund? edit-through is not spelled like a baseball term
So, the filter lasts for up to 1,000 gallons but the carbon filter only lasts up to 26 gallons, but it’s all one part. And the manufacturer has discontinued these. So it’s good for up to 26 gallons?
@IAMIS sorry, where are you getting the info that it’s all one part? i can’t find anywhere that indicates that. The company’s website sells the carbon replacement pieces for this series (https://lifestraw.com/products/lifestraw-carbon-capsules-2-pack?variant=40912655057007#full-description) and also has an FAQ section that seems to imply you replace the carbon and mechanical filtration separately, at different times. Are the carbon ones sold in this link for something else, not for the meh one?
But yeah, if they discontinue these replacement parts the longevity of the bottles is linited.
for most water, that’s all it does, but it will also remove toxic organic molecules (eg benzene, pesticides) that the normal filter can’t trap because they are too small, along with some heavy metals (eg lead) and radon.
So if you are, say, drinking water from a reactor fuel cooling pool, or a stagnant pond next to an old electric transformer manufacturing plant or gas station, these should be great!
@beckiwright I just looked at a few of the main sites that sold them and never saw a separate carbon component. If so I stand corrected. Hopefully the carbon part is cheaper than the main one. But I’ll probably find out too late to go for the deal this time around. I wonder why they are being discontinued. Though that’s the standard question for much of what is sold here. Otherwise if I could buy an extra main filter or two and a bunch of carbon ones it might be a great deal.
Hmm… I’d be all set with my one luxury item should I ever go on the show Naked And Afraid, or I could stop buying bottles of water and try out our (gross) tap water.

This deal sucks!
That last 0.001% of parasites though? Don’t worry about those guys.
@brennyn That’s Bill, he’s a good parasite.

@cfg83 Here’s the image you requested for “Bill the parasite is loved by all.”
What an amazing way to make cheap water expensive and not have the option to do without the filtering when it’s not needed!
Uh, yeah, I’m going to pass. (OTOH, people who live in Jackson, MS might affirmatively want several of these,)

@therealjrn Some say he’s still chugging out of that river to this day.
@brennyn @therealjrn like some weird Paul Bunyanesque legend, he’s the only thing keeping us from a catastrophic flood. Don’t distract him.

@brennyn @therealjrn I heard he takes the first couple weeks of March off and goes to Vegas.

@mediocrebot @zippyus Hilarious!
What does it weigh?
@marylynne7
Walmart site says it weighs 1.35 lb. That may be either the shipping weight or the actual weight of the product. It doesn’t specify.
Looks like replacement filters run around $21. So this buy with the bottle is around the same price as the filter alone. hmmmm…
@marylynne7 1.34lbs I what I’m seeing on our side, though that’s usually our shipped weight.
Remember when meh was a deal?
@Helmet0987 Find any LifeStraw bottle for less - even a plastic version. I double dare ya!
@Helmet0987 @troy
Why don’t you think this is a deal, Walmart is selling it for $60?
@Helmet0987 remember the day some rando email marketer made you look a fool in a newsletter? Twas today! Long live Meh!

@stinks What’s a J Peterman catalog, and how fast would it be traveling toward the recycle bin after I saw the prices?
I don’t want a bottle of dirty water, I want a bottle of CLEAN water.
Failing that, a steel bottle that can boil water.

How do you know when it’s time to replace the filter? Am I supposed to keep track of how many times I fill it up? Like a peasant?

@themeatbridge easy peasy: when you get giardia, it’s time to replace the filter.

@IAMIS Charcoal just makes it taste better. The filter makes it safer. 26G of good tasting water, then 974G of bad tasting, but safe water afterward.

@IAMIS It looks like the filters are two separate parts

@therealjrn “Altered or synthetic content”. In other words, pure unfiltered artificial-idiot bullshit.
Nice.
