Lifestraw Go BPA-Free Bottle, 20oz Merlot Me Away
The LifeStraw Go BPA-free plastic water bottle with 2-stage filter is a very practical bottle. The handle makes it easy to take the bottle with you, or you can attach a lanyard/carabiner to it, which makes it easy to attach the water bottle to your backpack. The best thing about this bottle is its simplicity. You fill the bottle with polluted water and simply drink from the mouth piece. The dirt stays behind in the filter, and you will only drink clean water.

- Protozoa: 99.9% (LOG 3 reduction). Protozoa is a collective term for single-celled parasites. Frequently occurring protozoa which LifeStraw successfully filters from the water are Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Meets US EPA and NSF P231 drinking water standards for parasite removal.
- Microplastics: this LifeStraw filters 99.9999% of microplastics from water.
- Chlorine: this chemical irritates your eyes and skin and can make breathing difficult. In very low doses it is also used to disinfect water. This filter removes chlorine from the water. The longer the carbon filter is given the chance to filter the water, the more chlorine is removed from the water. Meets NSF 42 standard for chlorine reduction.
- Smell and flavour: even though it might not always be harmful, if water tastes funny you won't enjoy drinking it. Fortunately, the carbon filter will reduce these bad tastes.
- Pesticides and herbicides: these are chemical pesticides used in food production. They end up in water as the result of rainfall. Even though they might not immediately cause you harm, long-term exposure could be harmful.
