Each has a lifespan no matter what. It's not like you can still use it forever if you only use moving water. Standing or otherwise extremely filthy water just depletes the lifespan of the filter faster.

Gonna sound dumb but I haven’t seen it though I’m sure it exists: LifeStraw needs to also sell LifePump. Probably would look kinda like the hand-pump you’d use on a bike tire. So if you needed clean water for something other than your own mouth, you could have it. Example: idk mixing a baby bottle or helping somebody that’s weak but needs water. I just like the idea. And I know there’s ways to get clean water. But LifeStraw is pretty well-known, so this product would get a good amount of attention.

I'm actually wondering if it will let through any toxins already produced by the bacteria. Like if there's botulism in the water, will it also filter out the botulism toxin? My guess it won't cause the holes would have to be way smaller than is possible if you wanna scale the product to this size, but I could be wrong.

I used the life straw while hiking in Scotland and it saved our butts when we encountered a long stretch of clearcut land where we had expected forest. We had been expecting a tap to refill our water but the only thing we could find was a stream full of gunk and algae. After running it through that straw the water tasted like normal tap water and we never got sick. Highly recommend.

Thanks for this video, I've been thinking of getting some for the in-laws summer cabin (it's in the middle of a swamp (with a wonderful view of the swamp lake), no electricity, unreliable cellphone service, closest source of safe clean drinking water 20+ minute walk away through relatively dense forest, during the dry season, can take up to an hour drying flooding erc) for backups if someone is alone there and for example breaks their leg and can't get to the well on the other end of the property and has to drink swamp water to keep hydrated while waiting for rescue. And before some wise guy goes "why wouldn't they just get into a car and drive to safety", well, because we park our cars infront of the old farmhouse at the other end of the plot of land, the aforementioned safe well is 300 meters closer to the lakeside cabin than the parking area, so if you're unable to drag yourself to get that water you're doubly unable to get to your car... I am looking into how much it would cost to make a small narrow drivable path next to their summer cabin and setting them up a small parking area (preferably with some sort of "garage type thing built cheap from wood just to make things a bit nicer for them) Love my in-laws to pieces and making it easier and more stress-free for them to pop over there for weekends etc would bring so much joy in their lives... Only problem is I'm currently broke, I can do the work it will certainly end up needing tools and machinery I do not have to be able to actually build such s small road, I guess that once I have sorted out what it will end up costing I'll start a GoFundMe or something hoping to get the finances sorted out because I want them to be able to enjoy the place as much as they want during their "Golder years" because they're family to me, and I always want my lived ones to be as happy & safe as possible.

Now put the Life Straw filter under the microscope 💀💀
For a sec there I was thinking “this guy really gonna drink pond water before testing?!?”
So glad to see this! I have one, but never used it. Saving it for some really desperate circumstance, not really confident that it would perform as noted. Thanks for all of the tests you do!
Gonna sound dumb but I haven’t seen it though I’m sure it exists: LifeStraw needs to also sell LifePump. Probably would look kinda like the hand-pump you’d use on a bike tire. So if you needed clean water for something other than your own mouth, you could have it. Example: idk mixing a baby bottle or helping somebody that’s weak but needs water. I just like the idea. And I know there’s ways to get clean water. But LifeStraw is pretty well-known, so this product would get a good amount of attention.
I'm actually wondering if it will let through any toxins already produced by the bacteria. Like if there's botulism in the water, will it also filter out the botulism toxin? My guess it won't cause the holes would have to be way smaller than is possible if you wanna scale the product to this size, but I could be wrong.
This is actually really reassuring
I love how this guy’s existence centers around finding new ways to mess up a paramecium’s day.

I’ve had a couple life straws and like them a lot but am always paranoid that they may not work as well as advertised. I feel much more confident that I will be okay using it more often after watching this
That makes me feel so much better if i need to use one of those
I would say leave the clear water in a safe secure area away from contaminants for about a week and see if there was truly nothing, that clear contaminant material has me concerned.

No wonder it's called the Life straw. This thing can be life saving.
I always wondered if it really worked as well as they said it did. im actually shocked and impressed at just how well it does.
I keep a couple for emergencies, they filter like 1000 liters or something crazy like that
"Paramecia" **One piece neurons activation**
I'm surprised that lifestraw doesn't advertise this way
I would use this product as an emergency backup for camping, but I’d never trust it as a primary filter. I brought one camping along with a 4 liter gravity filter. Tried it out and cleaned it property. It clogged within 24 hrs after about 5 uses.
These are the kind of reviews this world needs.
Man, I've wanted to know the results of this type of test for years. Thanks!
The first time I got one of these I put it through a test where I mixed a bunch of mud and water in a cup and tried to drink it and I won't lie best water I've ever had
Me, I tried living off of it during the first seven days of a twenty one day water fast, cleaned out lake water with lifestraw, treated with Shungite and then drank... felt perfectly fine, which I wouldn’t have if it hadn’t worked. But thanks for satisfying my curiosity as to the microscopic view of its efficacy. 🙏🏼
I never thought these things were super effective til now
Just be careful not to use it in ponds or rivers downstream of cities. It does not filter out any harmful chemicals in runoff water.

Guys to let you all know the straw says that you gotta look for clean moving water 🖐
Fucking love this channel. Never change
I used the life straw while hiking in Scotland and it saved our butts when we encountered a long stretch of clearcut land where we had expected forest. We had been expecting a tap to refill our water but the only thing we could find was a stream full of gunk and algae. After running it through that straw the water tasted like normal tap water and we never got sick. Highly recommend.
Thanks for this video, I've been thinking of getting some for the in-laws summer cabin (it's in the middle of a swamp (with a wonderful view of the swamp lake), no electricity, unreliable cellphone service, closest source of safe clean drinking water 20+ minute walk away through relatively dense forest, during the dry season, can take up to an hour drying flooding erc) for backups if someone is alone there and for example breaks their leg and can't get to the well on the other end of the property and has to drink swamp water to keep hydrated while waiting for rescue. And before some wise guy goes "why wouldn't they just get into a car and drive to safety", well, because we park our cars infront of the old farmhouse at the other end of the plot of land, the aforementioned safe well is 300 meters closer to the lakeside cabin than the parking area, so if you're unable to drag yourself to get that water you're doubly unable to get to your car... I am looking into how much it would cost to make a small narrow drivable path next to their summer cabin and setting them up a small parking area (preferably with some sort of "garage type thing built cheap from wood just to make things a bit nicer for them) Love my in-laws to pieces and making it easier and more stress-free for them to pop over there for weekends etc would bring so much joy in their lives... Only problem is I'm currently broke, I can do the work it will certainly end up needing tools and machinery I do not have to be able to actually build such s small road, I guess that once I have sorted out what it will end up costing I'll start a GoFundMe or something hoping to get the finances sorted out because I want them to be able to enjoy the place as much as they want during their "Golder years" because they're family to me, and I always want my lived ones to be as happy & safe as possible.
Guys, the point of a lifestraw isn't to be a first-resort solution when you just really want to drink some sewer runoff. It's meant to be used in situations where no clean water is accessible, ideally with other means of purification such as boiling or treatment with tablets.

Yes but it doesn't take out chemicals or heavy metals. You can use an activated carbon filter to make your drinking water even safer!
That’s awesome. I bought one of these a while back and always keep it in my big out bag just in case. Thank you for testing it!
It works great, but on thing it doesn't do so be aware. It will still taste like pond water if that makes sense. I used to hike alot and carried one of these with me. If I ran out of water I would drink water from any creeks and ponds I found a long the way. Never gotten sick using it but it can't do much about taste. Probably something to do with dissolved minerals ECT in the water

I think the real use case for these is to drink clear-but-not-safe creek water when you're hiking instead of carrying a bunch of water or a bulky, slow setup to boil water. It can probably filter a lot more than 6 liters of this. People just test it using pond scum to show off its filtering ability.
Thank you so much for this, I have often wondered about the legitimacy of the Lifestraw- now I know! I love watching your vids, always fun and interesting, and informative, but this one is a real game changer! Thanks!!
They're only suitable for limited amounts of use and it's recommended that you still use them with clear water. However if you're stuck in some place for a few days it can really be a lifesaver and it's worth carrying a few of them with you if you're going into the wilderness.
Thank you for providing this video.. I was very cautious about the straw if it worked, so again thank you.
