    I could do with one of those filters. Cheers OP

    • easternculture on 09/11/2014 - 20:45

      Thanks trent. I bought one right away without thinking "ozbargain style" with the fear that these will sell out quick like the Panasonic water flosser

      These are great for camping and in times of disaster such as floods etc

      Flourine isn't a metal, heavy or otherwise.
      These devices are designed to provide water free of immediately harmful contaminants when out bushwalking or in a disaster situation.
      If you are concerned about bio-accumulation of micro contaminants you have a different requirement.

      If you're drinking from a water supply treated enough that it contains fluoride, consider yourself thankful that you don't require filtration just to be able to drink water….

          Perhaps you need to find your fluoride information from Google scholar instead of just normal google…. You might learn something

      It will remove the alcohol from beer but not the flavor. So if you want to enjoy a refreshing six-pack on the drive home from work, use one of these straws.

  • hen dawg on 09/11/2014 - 23:45

    Would this let me drink out the tap when in SE Asia like Thailand/Vietnam? Places even the locals can't

    • zsuetam on 10/11/2014 - 08:55

      It all depends on the water source and what is in it (Protozoa, bacteria, or viruses)…

      Filters only do not removes viruses (such as hepatitis a), so if you want to be 100% sure you are removing all nasties, you need to use a water purifier as opposed to a filter.

      I am going to SE Asia next year and have just bought myself a SteriPEN.
      They are more expensive, but will essentially pay for itself after 3 or so months since I will not have to buy bottled water.

      This is a good read;

    Not a bad price for the LifeStraw but you should also look at the Sawyer Mini if you're after a filter straw - filters better than the lifestraw (7 log/99.99999% bacteria, 6 log/99.9999% protozoa, filters to 0.1 micron) and filters HEAPS more water (100,000 gal so over 350,000L according to sawyer), it's also about half the size and weighs less.

    Normally they're the same price ($20+ post) but with this deal the sawyer is $6 more, but given the extra filtration/volume etc worth it IMO.

        There's actually no longer a shelf life listed. It was initially 3 years, then 5 years, and now Vestergaard of Switzerland (the manufacturer) has removed the notice completely. They were designed for use in African countries where the constant hot sun degrades any plastic, and the shelf life notice was created in case some users left them outside for years in the sun. Turns out it wasn't much of an issue to worry about, so the shelf life notice has been lifted. You can use it, store it, and use it again without problem. Just be sure it's totally dry inside before storing - in fact you can store it uncapped to be sure

  • bigpallooka on 10/11/2014 - 01:40

    Do these water filters have a use-by-date?

    • Davo1111 on 10/11/2014 - 02:55

      There’s also an expiration date stamped on the straw, of 3 years from date of manufacture. There’s nothing that’ll degrade over time in the filter, but the manufacturer hasn’t had any unused straws in storage for more than 3 years, so they put the expiry date on it ‘just in case.’

      • NotJustChickenDinner on 10/11/2014 - 08:48

        A user on Amazon said that it was 3 years, then changed 5 years and now there is no use by date on them…

    I bought the straw direct from the manufacturer a few years ago for my bug out bag.

    Yes the zombie apocalypse is coming

    The paderno vegie slicer is great. I paid full price for it a year or so and love it - chops zucchinis and cucumbers into pasta (great for my wife who can't eat wheat) and great with carrots and other veggies too.

  • zsuetam on 10/11/2014 - 08:35

    The Lifestraw is an excellent lightweight, cost effective filtration device, great for hiking etc.

    Just be aware that filters only remove;

    • Protozoan cysts (Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia lamblia). Tiny (1 to 300 microns; 1 micron = one-millionth of a meter).

    • Bacteria (Escherichia coli, or E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter jejuni, Yersinia entercolitica, Leptospira interrogans and many others). Very tiny (0.1 to 10 microns).

    Filters DO NOT remove viruses (hepatitis A, rotavirus, enterovirus, norovirus)

    Only purifiers (not filters) eliminate viruses.

    So make sure you consider this based on your intended usage.

    • NotJustChickenDinner on 10/11/2014 - 16:16

      Op was only quoting $37 USD, so $44.50 would be AUD ..
      i think normally people put AUD in title aswell or state that it is USD in title..
