LifeStraw Peak Series Squeeze Water Filter System

The Peak Series Squeeze is a complete system that includes a collapsible 1L pouch, allowing you to collect and store water rather than drinking directly from the source. It also features an improved membrane that is more resistant to clogging from sand and silt, and it includes a backwash accessory to maintain flow rates over time.

No, this filter is designed to remove bacteria, parasites, microplastics, silt, sand, and cloudiness. It does not remove viruses, so it is best suited for backcountry water sources like streams and lakes rather than areas where viral contamination is a known risk.

The filter will stop allowing water to pass through when it reaches the end of its life. With a capacity of 400 gallons, it is designed to last through extensive use, but you should replace it once the flow rate slows significantly even after performing a backwash.

Yes, the pouch is constructed from premium, durable materials designed to withstand the wear and tear of outdoor use. It is collapsible and lightweight, making it easy to pack away when not in use without adding bulk to your gear.

The system comes with a custom backwash accessory that attaches to the filter. You simply fill the syringe or accessory with clean water, attach it to the filter, and push the water through in the reverse direction to dislodge any trapped sediment or debris.

The filter features a standard threading that is compatible with many common water bottles, allowing you to use it as a straw or screw it onto other containers. However, it is optimized for use with the included LifeStraw Peak Series squeeze pouch.
