Can I use this lifestraw once, like on a holiday, leave it unused for a while, then use it again in say, a years time?
G'day Ruby,
Yep, you can. Follow Lifestraws guidelines for long term storage:
LONG TERM STORAGE
1. Immerse in Salt Solution. Fill a reusable container with 2 cups of water, add 1 teaspoon of salt and dissolve. With the bottom cap open, take a few small sips of salt water until the solution reaches the top mouthpiece. Close the caps to prepare for storage and to hold the saline solution inside.
2. Store. Place the water filter straw into a reusable container and store in a cool, dry place.
3. Resume Use. To use your water filter straw again, blow any remaining solution out of the filter. We recommend spitting out the first few sips of water as they may still taste salty.
How do you know when the filter isn’t safe to use anymore? Does it just stop working?
G'day Ruby,
If you continue to experience little to no flow-rate, it may be time to replace your membrane ultrafilter set. Water will stop flowing through once the membrane ultrafilter set has reached the end of its lifecycle.
If you start to experience bad taste, it may be time to replace your carbon filter.
Can the filter be replaced or is this a disposable item
G'day Adam,
The straw is a sealed unit, and needs to be replaced after its 5 years or 4,000L lifespan.
If you're looking for something with a replaceable filter, the LifeStraw bottles are a great option.
Can you please let me know what the shelf life of the LifeStraw is?
G'day Phillip,
These Life Straws have an Unlimited shelf life, once used the filter lasts about 5 years or 4,000L.
