LifeStraw, known for its straw-style filters that make dirty water safe to drink, is quite popular among campers. Now, meet the all-new LifeStraw Escape, a high-flow, portable purifier that can provide sufficient water for emergencies, off-grid living, and camping. It uses a 3-stage filtration system to remove viruses, bacteria, parasites, microplastics, and heavy metals.
Escape water purifier is completely portable and requires no hoses, chemicals, or batteries. It uses a simple hand pump to pressurize water, and also features a built-in pressure relief valve for safety. It measures 18 inches high and 13.75 inches wide, weighs about 16 lbs. empty, and comes with a handle for easy carrying.
Using it is simple and straightforward: you fill the tank with dirty water, use the hand-powered pump to pressurize it and then turn the tap to dispense safe drinking water. With just a few hand pumps, it delivers more than 1 liter/min of safe water without any electricity or gravity.
The Escape uses a simple 3-step filter system for protection from contaminants. First, a pre-filter catches sand and dirt. Next, a 0.02-micron ultrafilter removes almost all viruses, bacteria, parasites, and microplastics. Third, an activated carbon and ion exchange filter improves taste and reduces chemicals like chlorine and heavy metals such as lead.
The 3-stage filtration system is capable of removing viruses, bacteria, parasites, microplastics, sand, and other impurities while the activated carbon + ion exchange filter further reduces chlorine, lead, and organic matter while improving taste and odor.

The filters are built to last. The ultrafilter can purify up to 18,000 liters that is sufficient water for a family of four for about five years in survival situations. The activated carbon + ion exchange filter lasts for 600 liters (around two months of daily use) and is easy to replace. You can also use the included backwash syringe to clean the filter and keep it working efficiently.
LifeStraw Escape holds 5.25 gallons of purified water that is enough for drinking, cooking, and keeping a whole group hydrated. This pressurized water filter is reusable, easy to clean, and designed for convenient access to safe drinking water in remote areas and emergencies. It is easy to use and currently available for about $330 on the official website and Amazon.
