LifeStraw Peak Series Water Filter

The filter is designed to remove 99.999999% of bacteria, 99.999% of parasites, and 99.999% of microplastics. It also effectively filters out silt, sand, and cloudiness from your water source.

The Solo features standard 28mm threading, which is compatible with most common disposable water bottles and many reusable bottles. However, it will not fit wide-mouth bottles without an adapter.

The membrane microfilter is rated for up to 2,000 liters of water. As you approach the end of its capacity, the flow rate will gradually decrease, eventually stopping entirely, which signals that it is time to replace the filter.

Yes, you should perform a backwash periodically to maintain the flow rate. The filter comes with a custom threaded backwash syringe that makes this process quick and easy to do in the field.

No, the Peak Series Solo is a microfilter, not a purifier. It removes bacteria and parasites, but it does not remove viruses, so it is best suited for use in backcountry water sources rather than areas where viral contamination is a known risk.
