LifeStraw Peak Series Gravity Filter System – 3L
It’s the simple, lightweight and compactible option for back-country
camping and backpacking. The optimized filtration cartridge boasts a
high flow rate and ability to remove sand and silt without clogging. The
water storage bag is made from premium materials for extra durability
so it can stand up to the same toughness and usage you put your other
gear through. You'll never have to buy another.
Designed to be ultra-versatile and fully leak-proof, use as a storage
system while moving about, or as a straw filter by itself or with a
standard water bottle. Enhanced microfilter performance: Our
re-engineered membrane and custom backwash accessory means better
performance against sand and silt, maintaining great flow over the long
haul.
The Science Behind LifeStraw:
Backed by serious research in our international labs and extensive
testing in the field, LifeStraw and LifeStraw Family have been
distributed to nearly every major international humanitarian disaster
since 2005 and in broad public health campaigns in the millions.
The same high-tech design used in places like Haiti, Indonesia, South
Africa, Kenya, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Pakistan and
Bangladesh is now available in the USA and Canada.
History:
LifeStraw is manufactured by Vestergaard Frandsen, a Swiss company
specializing in disease control products for developing countries. Their
core business model is centered around corporate social responsibility,
and helping countries reach their United Nations’ Millenium Development
Goals with products designed to prevent vector and water-borne
diseases.
LifeStraw for Emergency Preparedness & Survival:
In light of recent natural disasters, many people are realizing they
cannot depend on their city water during an emergency. A water filter
that’s lightweight, easy-to-use, and portable is important to have in
your emergency preparedness kit. Buy a LifeStraw for each member in your
household - it's a low-cost investment in security.
Awards and recognition:
LifeStraw has received significant accolades since its original design was invented in 2005. Time
Magazine named LifeStraw the “Best Invention of 2006.” In 2008, it won
the Saatchi and Saatchi Award for “World Changing Ideas”. Esquire
called LifeStraw the “Innovation of the Year.” And Forbes noted that
LifeStraw is “one of the ten things that will change the way we live.”
Now that LifeStraw has launched in the USA and Canada, we expect
continued positive responses.
