The LifeStraw Home + 6 Month Replacement Pack is a science-backed, rigorously tested water filter pitcher designed for health-conscious households seeking reliable, high-performance filtration and verified peace of mind. Unlike most pitchers, LifeStraw Home removes not only common contaminants like chlorine and lead, but also bacteria, parasites, microplastics, and PFAS ("forever chemicals"). Its BPA-free plastic pitcher comes with three extra carbon filter replacements, delivering a full year of protection from bacteria and parasites, and two months per carbon filter for chemical reduction. The design is sleek, sustainable, and user-friendly—helping households reduce single-use plastic.
What sets LifeStraw apart is its commitment to testing transparency and social impact. All claims are independently lab-verified to WHO, US EPA, and NSF standards, and every purchase provides a year of safe water to a child in need through LifeStraw’s Give Back program. Customers consistently praise the improved taste, build quality, and the brand’s ethical mission. Compared to Brita and ZeroWater, LifeStraw Home is the only leading pitcher to remove bacteria, parasites, and microplastics in addition to heavy metals and PFAS.
LifeStraw products have a history of use in some of the harshest conditions around the world, from refugee camps to natural disasters to extreme back-country, our products have to work because lives depend on them. Our testing and transparency is unparalleled and we use the most trusted performance criteria based on protocols established by the World Health Organization, the US EPA, NSF International and the Water Quality Association.

"I'm very happy with my Lifestraw glass pitcher. It's a little slow to refill, especially when filling up my 32oz water bottle. The water itself, though is very good and has no plastic taste which was the reason for my purchase. My home has plastic water lines and I can't stand the taste or smell. LIFESTRAW gets rid of it completely. Eventually, I might get the larger pitcher."
"I loved the aesthetic of this pitcher and the overall Lifestraw filtering and brand ethos. But the filter just doesn't stay secure in the pitcher. They kindly replaced my first one when we thought it might be a manufacturing defect, but the second one does the same thing. You have to use two hands to pour because it feels like the entire filter is going to fly out of the pitcher. Seems like they need a 2. 0 version where the lid really locks into the pitcher."
"NO MORE BOTTLED WATER FOR ME! … It’s soo fresh tasting! And it feels good to know that I’m in some way giving back to other communities. GREAT WORK LIFESTRAW! Just made a new purchase recently! ^u^* Short Story: Upon using my Home Lifestraw 10-Cup Pitcher for the first time, I couldn’t believe the difference it made between my rather “poisonous-tasting" toxic faucet water and the filtered water in the dispenser! I couldn’t believe it all came from the same TAP water!!! Wow… NIGHT & DAY difference! Unbelievable! THANK YOU LIFESTRAW! Can't wait to see what more you do in the future!!"
"I love the filter, and it filter the water perfectly leaving a great tasting filtered water that I would drink everyday. I will never go back to fridge water ever again."
"I have been hauling 80 lbs of water from a filtering station every week for 5 years. Lately the machine is always broken, making me have to drive 6 miles into town. As a 66 yo woman, I got tired of hauling 80 lbs of water a week on top of having to drive a distance to even get the water. It tasted bad 1/2 the time, and made my water crock and water smell musty. I decided to liberate myself from the roulette of the water machine, and bought a filter-at-home pitcher. I have the 7 cup glass pitcher and it has changed my life! No more icky tasting water, Save about $15/mo, I don’t have to pull my shoulders out of joint hauling the water, and no more supplemental minerals bc the machine filter removes everything! Even the good stuff. I do have to be mindful to be filling the filter regularly throughout the day, but it’s way worth it. I would have preferred to have no plastic (the filter is plastic) but over-all very happy. Filters quickly and its sleek design fits on my tiny house kitchen counter perfectly. So far, really love it!"
"I've had a LifeStraw pitcher for 3 years now and just got a second one so I can keep one in the refrigerator and use the other for watering my indoor ferns. The design is top notch. Very easy to fill and pour, and the water really does taste better to the point that I like drinking it (have never been much of a water drinker due to tap water flavor). The terrazzo is a fun, cheerful touch."
"Love this glass pitcher. I also have the plastic larger one but the glass one sits on my counter encouraging me to have a refreshing glass!"
"This is a great pitcher. I was looking for glass instead of plastic and a great filtration system and I found it. The filtration can take a little longer than other systems, but once you get use to it and realize that, you adjust accordingly. I also appreciate their customer service. Very helpful."
"This is a game changer. After walking through the set up, we ‘taste tested’ the water compared to tap and the filtered from our fridge. You could definitely taste the difference! The pitcher, to my surprise, is a bit heavy, especially when full of water, so that’s the only ‘issue’ as I get used to that when pouring water."
"Bought this to add to our travel trailer on top of the filter at the hose connection. Way more inexpensive than buying some elaborate system to filter water for the trailer on top of that water taste was fantastic and wife being picky about the water in the trailer pipe not being sanitary even she loved it. Can’t say how much I would highly recommend this pitcher."
