Home Pitcher Glass and Silicone Base 7 cup Pebble

I bought this product to ensure that the family drinking water is as safe as it can possibly be. The drinking water where I live is river sourced. The problem with this is that we are all aware of declining potable water quality arising from toxins and increasing water temperatures. I also have a sediment and chemical reducing water pitcher for cooking and the pets. As for the LifeStraw glass pitcher, after assembly and following the use instructions I did not experience any of the leaks or problems I read in other reviews. It works as intended. The water is impeccably clean and I trust reducing microorganisms. Great tasting water too! As for the comments concerning slowness, the filter system is indeed SLOW. It takes about 30 minutes for the water cone to drain. What I do to compensate for this is to keep the pitcher topped up by refilling after a glass or two of water to avoid running out. As I said the alternate water pitcher is used for cooking and pets and is a fast fill for this purpose. I have used other inline systems for water purity and find the LifeStraw is easier and cheaper to maintain. I would not hesitate to buy this product again. I will be adding a LifeStraw hiking filter to my vehicle travel kit. Finally, I appreciate what the company does in bringing potable water filters to problematic countries and thus accept the slowness. For a good clip on this subject watch Dan Becker's YouTube trip to Africa with the LifeStraw Program.

I worked in the outdoor industry for almost a decade so I already knew LifeStraw was a reliable brand. We have highly suspicious water from our office tap and I wanted a filter so I could stop bringing in my heavy 5gal bottle. This pitcher isn't the fastest, because it WORKS. Look at what it filters compared to other more famous water filter pitcher brands- this does a lot more than just improve taste, like Brita or Waterdrop. Although it's still not super fast, the filter speed did increase dramatically after several uses. Besides, speed is not what you buy a filter for- you buy it for function. With a 7-cup capacity I don't need speed anyways, by the time I drink my water the pitcher is ready to pour and refill again. I'm harping on this because I've seen several other reviewers give this a poor review because of filtration speed. I can see how it could be tedious if you have a big household, but if you care about more than how your water tastes, you're gonna sacrifice speed for filtration quality. Also so glad in comes with a glass pitcher- a little less plastic never hurt anyone. Get this pitcher.

Filtering water on the first few go rounds is sloooowwwww. Science. After the filtering materials are sufficiently water soaked and broken in, the filtering process is not so long. Everyone in my household knows to refill after a certain point. So far, so good. It’s beautiful. And the vase is glass. I appreciate not having to remove the top to add more water to the pitcher. The design is sanitary and practical. The water is delicious and safe. I know this company because I have been using the original Life Straw since early 20something teen. I travel and it’s literally a life saver. This company is one of those do-gooder companies and I am proud to be part of their consumer history. Wriggling the pieces apart for the initial set up and cleaning is not the easiest. All of the tubing and caps are very tightly fitted. I cannot imagine having any type of hand issue and being able to clean or change the filters. In fact, if you view the help videos they might have even skipped that part so she looks like pulling the pieces apart are a cinch. The help video needs to be revamped to include zoom-ins and clarifying instructions. Anyway, I got through it and will only need to disassemble the pitcher every two months or so. I am happy with my decision to ignore the “it takes too long to filter” reviews and purchase this pitcher filter system over the others. Goodbye bad minerals, microplastics, black speckles, cysts and 99 percent of all bacteria.

This is a great water filter pitcher, I love it! I bought it a couple of weeks ago after doing a lot of online research on water filter pitchers. I really like the fact that it removes so many contaminants and the water does taste better. Also, I love the fact that the pitcher is made out of glass and I know that there are no plastics leaking into my filtered water. I have to fill it up frequently, but I had to do that as well with my previous Britta 10-cup filter as well because I would not fill it up completely so that it would not get too heavy. And finally, its design looks great!

Wanted to love this filter pitcher so much but it hasn’t held up to my hopes for it! Biggest PRO is the amazing glass quality of the pitcher. Glass filtration is hard to come by. The biggest CON to this system- the speed at which it filters. It is SO slow no matter how many cycles I have filtered through. Truly thought it would pick up speed but it has been several days now and it’s still taking FOREVER to get maybe 1-1.5 cups of water after such a long period of time. Not sure if ours is just an unlucky fluke but idk if I would buy/ try again after this.

LOVE LOVE this glass filter pitcher. Water tastes great and the glass helps reduce microplastics. It also looks great on my counter!

I really wanted to like this product but the filter causes the water to drip way too slowly. It took about 2 hours for it to fill. I was told it might be slow at first but would speed up with more use. Well I used it daily for 3 months and it only got slower. I now have a plain glass pitcher for iced tea. I'm back to the plastic Brita for now.

I own several life straw products. Enjoy this smaller water capacity setting , great for home office during work hours . I got the glass one. Water tastes great and not junk up the space with plastic bottles.

I have a zero water filter that I use for getting rid of particulates and smell for cooking, but it makes the water taste a little funny and dead. This bad boy actually filters, the dangerous stuff out of water like micro plastics, bacteria and most importantly for people who need to nasally irrigate like me, amoebas. No more need to boil or buy distilled water. Oh, and the carbon filter works well to get rid of offensive odors, but doesn't make the water taste dead

Very happy with my purchase. The water has no taste and the jug filters well. It's not super fast but that's ok as the results are great. I read that some people have trouble with the filter being too slow at the start. I soaked my filter in water for five minutes before inserting it into the jug and gave it a bit of a shake so that the bubbles disappeared. The filter worked well from the start. The jug looks very modern and is easy to fill. I just add water when I pass the jug and leave it on my benchtop. Great to know that my water is very clean.

I love it! The water tastes much better, and I am saved from microplastics, and other harmful things in the water

Lovely tasting filtered water. I wish I found this earlier

Best tasting water I’ve ever had. It is slow to fill but is totally worth it.
