LifeStraw Go Will Never Let You Run Out of Safe Drinking Water

We may have advanced in the way we accessorize our kitchen or track our fitness records today but looking at the world environment facts, I think we still have a long way to go. While technology is slowly wooing us towards living the life of a superhero on one hand, the depletion of environmental resources is still coming as a hard blow on the face. It may be surprising to know that around 840,000 people die out of water borne diseases every year. Almost 750 million people lack access to clean water. When we happen to celebrate our happy moments with our family, there are thousands of people around the world who are struggling for safe drinking water. Doesn’t that pinch you somewhere into thinking what the world would be like in the future?

Many of us are into adventure sports and camping these days because of which we often travel down mountainous slopes or dense forests where it’s difficult to find a safe drinking water source. There might be a lot of streams and lakes available but to consider the water in them free from bacteria would be a mistake. So, what we generally do is carry our water source along with us which definitely has a lot of drawbacks. First, they make our luggage super heavy and secondly they are not sufficient enough to sustain us for a long span of time. That’s why we are here to discuss about LifeStraw Go: A portable water bottle and filter combo which will always help you meet up your hydration needs no matter where you go. This could be a potential solution for outdoor travelers especially in areas where there exists safe drinking water scarcity.

Convert Water From Nature into Drinkable Form

The purpose of LifeStraw Go is to not let you run out of safe drinking water. It gives you the access of converting water from streams and nearby lake sources into a drinkable form so that you get to stay hydrated as well as safe from getting affected by water borne bacteria. Just scoop water from a stream or pond into the bottle and drink from the straw which automatically filters out bacteria and other harmful germs.

The hollow fiber membrane of the mouthpiece filters the pathogens by trapping them inside so that you get to drink clean water all the time. This hollow filtration technology does not require any additional chemicals and proves itself to be a natural process instead. It’s lightweight and super easy to carry for any hiking, trekking or camping trips you go for, especially in areas with poor drinking water supply. You can use the carabiner to attach it to your backpacks so as to make the bottles available at an arm’s reach during emergency.

Removes Bacteria Up To 99.99%

Coming down to the filtration benefits of the LifeStraw Go, it’s got the potential to filter up to 264 gallons or 1000 liters of water down to 0.2 microns. The filter can remove up to 99.99% water borne bacteria and protozoan parasites and comes with zero aftertaste since it contains no chemicals or iodine. The bottle is durable, leak-proof with the filter and mouthpiece being easily detachable. To be specific, the bacteria which can be removed using the LifeStraw Go are Escherichia coli, Campylobacter, Vibrio cholerae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella and Salmonella and the protozoa removed are Giardia lamblia (Beaver Fever), Cryptosporidium Parvum and Entamoeba histolytica. When the filters reach their capacity, you can simply replace them and use again. The bottle, on the other hand, can be used for an indefinite span of time so you need not worry about generating plastic waste of any form.

Donate Water Purifiers to African Schools

Available at $34, with every purchase of LifeStraw Go  you’ll be able to donate institutional water purifiers to schools in Africa. As stated by them, “LifeStraw® Community is specifically designed to deliver clean, safe water to school children by removing waterborne pathogens and dirt commonly found in source water.”

This means you’ll not only be able to meet your hydration needs in poor water supply areas but also bring clean water to those who are still deprived of it. Let’s make safe drinking water available for all! Happy Gadgeting!
