Need to understand differences

9pitcher takes a long time to filter. Also, it doesn’t fill up completely. Understand this is because it’s filtering a lot

Great Product

I purchased the product as a gift for my daughter as she is trying to avoid plastics and has a hard time drinking water from the faucet due to the taste. She said the product is a life changer! She loves it!

Not real happy
on June 3, 2025

We really like the clean water. However, the design of the water spout is dumb. Really slow and eventually broke. Unusable now. Bought the pitcher to replace it. Need to have our clean water! After a few months it's developed a leak right at the bottom of the handle. Noticed water pooling on the counter below the pitcher. Then saw the drip from the handle. Don't know what to do now. Pretty unhappy with the quality of your products. Too expensive to replace.

Good, but

Overall, it's a good filter, However. . . . after a while, the water is given a moldy taste which I never expected to happen with the hype over this filter.
I don't know of any better filter, so I'll stay with this one, but not happy over the moldy taste.

Extremely Disappointed
on June 4, 2025
Posted by: Caitlin T.
I've only read & heard great things about LifeStraw, and was very excited to ditch bottled water. I went all in on the high capacity dispenser for my family. I followed the cleaning and assembly instructions thoroughly, ran 2 water cycles through the filters to make sure they were properly rinsed, and poured my first glass of water. That night, I was more ill than I have ever been. I had a terrible headache, was nauseous, and couldn't sleep. The next morning I was in extreme gastro distress & vomiting - it continued for 3 days. I went to Urgent Care to rule out stomach flu and other illness - all tests showed no illness. This was clearly because of the water I drank from our brand new LifeStraw dispenser. I'm extremely disappointed that our investment in a new water filtration setup resulted in such severe illness. I assume that it was due to the water filters, but also wonder if it could have been that we simply got a plastic model that was in poor condition? I'm terrified to try new filters - I never want to experience such severe illness again. This was such a disheartening experience with a brand I was truly excited to incorporate into our daily routine. . .

Filters

Getting the filters on time and ready installation is very nice. However, I need to change the membrane and 2x now I have sent email on ordering one. I don't know what product on your website to order. I received a reply to go to your products online, but I still don't know which one to order. This will be the first time changing the membrane. I'm glad you have video tutorials on changing the filters.

Purchase and review

This filtration system worked great until the second washing. After that it leaks at the gasket so much so that it soaks though a folded up towel, and I have to change out the towel every day. It's also important to note how many people are drinking from the system so that you don't buy one to big, as we did. For only 2 people, this size is to big.
I don't like that this leaks!! That is my biggest complaint!
