The LifeStraw Personal Water Filter might just Save your Life!

The LifeStraw Personal Water Filter System is definitely a survival must have for any RV owner. Part of owning an RV is getting away from people and out into the most beautiful and isolated areas of the country. Everybody knows the importance of being safe while hiking: bring lots of water, a compass, and know what to do if you get lost. Fortunately, worrying about drinking contaminated water doesn’t have to be on your list if you own the LifeStraw.

So, you might be wondering… How do I use the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter

Fortunately for you, filtering with the LifeStraw water filter could not be easier. You can choose to scoop up water with a cup or bottle and drink from that, or get down and dirty and stick the straw right into a puddle or stream. The first time you use the LifeStraw you must prime it by uncapping the top and bottom, inserting the base of the straw into the contaminated water, making sure not to get the mouthpiece wet, and then let it sit for 30 seconds as water creeps up the membrane. You can now take 5 quick sucks to force the water to start flowing. This whole process can be done in under one minute!

When you’re done drinking from the LifeStraw, blow some air back through the LifeStraw to get the leftover water out, then shake it dry and put the caps back on. If you’re drinking from water that is murky and the flow suddenly stops, just blow some air into it to dislodge the mud from the filter. After you’re done using it and you get back to the RV, make sure to drink some clean fresh tank water from it, and then purge the filter once again by blowing back into it . Leave it out with the caps off to dry before putting it away.

It is important to note that you cannot drink salt water from the LifeStraw, nor can it remove dissolved chemicals or viruses. So just make sure that there are no dead animals or sewage in the water before drinking. In an emergency, you can drink from this water if you first use water treatment tablets.
