LifeStraw Membrane Micro Filters:
LifeStraw’s membrane filters are made of hollow fiber technology - similar to that used in Kidney dialysis.
The membranes are formed into many small straws with microscopic pores - dirty water is drawn into the straws but only clean water can pass out - bacteria, parasites, microplastics, dirt + other forms of turbidity,
Thanks to the very large filtration surface area created by the numerous straws within the system, LifeStraw produces exceptional flow rates and water filtration volumes.
