Review: Clean Taste, Beautiful Design, and Worth the Slower Initial Filtering - I bought this LifeStraw Home water filter pitcher for my apartment during grad school since the water quality in my area isn’t the best, and I’ve been really happy with it overall. One of the main reasons I chose this was the glass pitcher. I like that it reduces the amount of plastic in contact with my water, and it just feels cleaner and more premium compared to typical plastic pitchers. The silicone base is also a nice touch since it helps prevent slipping and protects surfaces. The water tastes really good, noticeably cleaner and fresher compared to straight tap water. It’s reassuring knowing that it’s designed to filter out a wide range of contaminants, which was a big priority for me. One thing to keep in mind is that the filtering process is a bit slow at first. The first few uses take longer to fill up, just like the instructions mention, but it does get better over time. It’s not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of if you’re expecting instant results. It’s also easy to use day-to-day, and the size is perfect for keeping in the fridge without taking up too much space. Overall, I think it’s a great upgrade from more common and popular water filter pitchers. It looks better, feels higher quality, and does a great job improving water taste and quality.
Review: Improving the quality and safety of potable water the easy way - I bought this product to ensure that the family drinking water is as safe as it can possibly be. The drinking water where I live is river sourced. The problem with this is that we are all aware of declining potable water quality arising from toxins and increasing water temperatures. I also have a sediment and chemical reducing water pitcher for cooking and the pets. As for the LifeStraw glass pitcher, after assembly and following the use instructions I did not experience any of the leaks or problems I read in other reviews. It works as intended. The water is impeccably clean and I trust reducing microorganisms. Great tasting water too! As for the comments concerning slowness, the filter system is indeed SLOW. It takes about 30 minutes for the water cone to drain. What I do to compensate for this is to keep the pitcher topped up by refilling after a glass or two of water to avoid running out. As I said the alternate water pitcher is used for cooking and pets and is a fast fill for this purpose. I have used other inline systems for water purity and find the LifeStraw is easier and cheaper to maintain. I would not hesitate to buy this product again. I will be adding a LifeStraw hiking filter to my vehicle travel kit. Finally, I appreciate what the company does in bringing potable water filters to problematic countries and thus accept the slowness. For a good clip on this subject watch Dan Becker's YouTube trip to Africa with the LifeStraw Program.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the filters included?**
A: yes, it comes with 2 filters - the larger one ( replace after 264 gallons or 1 year) and a smaller charcoal one that attaches to the bottom of the larger one (replace after 40 gallons or 2 months)

**Q: Can a brita filter cartridge fit? I don't want to buy a brita pitcher to use up my leftover cartrdiges.**
A: No, sorry Brita brand filters will not fit. LifeStraw has a different filtering system thus a different type, size, and the way it “fits” into the pitcher is not the same as Brita or even Zerowater filters. I decided to keep my Zerowater filter pitcher after purchasing my LifeStaw and I use the Zerowater first and then pour the Zerowater into my LifeStraw pitcher since they filter different pollutants and parasites (LifeStraw filters parasites).

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: Hwaseong, South Korea.

**Q: How do you install the membrane (long) filter? Water doesn't flow thru when I secure it all the way into the filter case.**
A: At first I thought mine was defective because the water barely went through one drop at a time. I have two of these pitchers, and the other one was better, though they are always slow. To me, it’s worth it. I love them so much I had to get two.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice glass pitcher and filter
*by N***E on April 4, 2026*

I was looking for a water filter/pitcher with less plastic and so far really like this one. I had read complaints about how long it takes to filter. I don’t find it takes much longer than other filters. The instructions tell you it will get faster after the first couple of cycles and I found that to be true. Others also complained about the weight. It is a bit bottom heavy when full but I just use two hands to hold it and it’s fine. It looks really nice and I love the way the top flips up on its own when you have it under running water to refill. I bought this as a “used-very good” condition and am very happy with it.
