Do LifeStraw products work for boil water advisories?Updated 2 months ago

Our LifeStraw Home water filter pitcher and dispenser offer broad protection against over 30 contaminants, including:

• Bacteria
• Parasites
• Microplastics
• Heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium III)
• PFAS
• Pesticides

However, it's important to note that the LifeStraw Home system does not filter viruses.

If you are under a boil water advisory or need protection from potential viral contamination, we recommend continuing to boil your water, add purification tablets or use a LifeStraw Ultrafilter or Purifier capable of virus removal.

You can find a complete list of filters and what type of filtration they offer at Compare Filters on Lifestraw.com
