Elegant glass gravity dispenser with advanced membrane filtration. Removes 99.999% of bacteria without electricity.
The LifeStraw Home is a gravity-fed water dispenser that combines hollow-fiber membrane technology with activated carbon filtration. It purifies water without electricity or plumbing — just fill and pour.
The two-stage filtration system removes 99.999% of bacteria, 99.999% of parasites, microplastics, chlorine, pesticides, and off-flavors. The hollow-fiber membrane is the same proven technology used in LifeStraw's famous survival filters, now in an elegant home format.
Holding 7 cups (1.65L filtered) at a time, the borosilicate glass dispenser looks beautiful on any kitchen counter or dining table. The glass construction avoids the BPA concerns of plastic dispensers.
An excellent choice for Mediterranean apartments where fixed installation isn't possible. Particularly useful for families with children, during pregnancy, or for anyone with a compromised immune system. Each purchase also funds clean water access for communities in need.
