The most important part of general health is the need to stay hydrated. During travel, it is easy to forget about routine maintenance like drinking water and getting enough sleep. General anxiety about tap water brings staying hydrated in unfamiliar places to an all-new high in terms of difficulty. Luckily, LifeStraw Go Water Filter Bottles provide a solution.

 

LifeStraw Go brings filtered water to the everyday traveler. The water bottles have a built-in filter, allowing for the bottle to be filled at any source. These can range from questionable water fountains and sinks to rivers and streams. The built-in filter will make the water drinkable, making sure no matter where you go, if you can find a stream, you have drinkable water.

 

The water filtered through the bottle meets the EPA’s standards for drinking water. The bottle does not require batteries or power of any kind and is portable.

 

Lifestraw filters are tested and usable for 4,000 liters of water, or 1,000 gallons.

 

If the idea of filtered and bottled water from a stream is enticing, but you are worried the Go does not provide enough filtration, LifeStraw offers other products that will remove viruses, hard metals and microplastics from the water.
