Can I use the Go Series bottle for international travel?Updated 2 months ago

You can confidently use your LifeStraw Go Series bottle for tap water during your travels. These bottles are designed with a membrane microfilter and carbon filter to improve the safety and taste of your drinking water.

The microfilter removes:

• 99.999999% of bacteria
• 99.999% of parasites
  These are the most common causes of waterborne illnesses for travelers.

⚠️ Please note: The Go Series does not filter viruses. If you're traveling to areas where viruses are a concern, we recommend using additional purification methods, such as boiling or chemical treatments, for added protection.

We also suggest reviewing our Go Series Evidence Dossier for full details on filter performance.

A few safe travel tips:

• Don’t use ice made from tap water
• Avoid raw fruits and veggies without a peel
• Be cautious when swimming in natural bodies of water
• Use filtered or safe water to brush your teeth and make drinks
• Wipe down your bottle lid with a disinfectant wipe or unscented sanitizer

Always consider the water quality in the area you're visiting. If you're unsure, it’s best to check with local health authorities or use extra precautions.
