- What does this filter actually remove?
- The carbon block reduces chlorine, taste and odor. Bacteria and parasite removal comes from the hollow-fiber membrane in the LifeStraw pitcher, not from this filter alone.
- Which LifeStraw products does it fit?
- It is made for LifeStraw home pitchers and dispensers that use the carbon filter stage. Check your model's manual before ordering, since it does not fit other brands.
- How often should I replace it?
- LifeStraw sets a replacement interval based on use, typically a couple of months for regular household use. Replace sooner if taste or flow changes.
- Is this a purifier on its own?
- No. It is a replacement carbon stage. The purifying membrane lives in the pitcher, so this filter only works as part of that system.
- What is in the box?
- Two replacement carbon filters. No pitcher, membrane or housing is included.
- Where is the Lifestraw Replacement Carbon Filter 2-Pack cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $9.95, as of our latest check.
