Overview
LifeStraw® Go is an innovative new personal water filter, which enables you to instantly transform contaminated water to crystal
clear drinking water easier and safer that it has ever been done before. With LifeStraw® Go you no longer have to be concerned
about your local water source.
LifeStraw® Go is based on the award-winning LifeStraw® technology, developed by Vestergaard, which has been used in millions
of LifeStraw® personal water filters in more than 70 countries around the world under the most extreme conditions. Unlike most
other personal water filters, LifeStraw® Go is created around a hollow fiber membrane technology and is not using carbon, chlorine
or any chemicals.
This enables LifeStraw® Go to filter up to 1,000 liters (264 gallons), which is a lot more than most comparable filters. The Go filter
does not require any batteries or contain any chemicals. Furthermore, LifeStraw® Go’s filtering efficacy is unique. The hollow fiber
membrane technology allows Go to transform even highly contaminated water into clean and safe water as you drink.
You can safely fill your Go bottle with unsafe water from rivers, creeks, ponds or lakes and stay hydrated no matter where you are.
Go filters a minimum of 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of waterborne parasites and removes turbidity down to 0.2
microns to ensure that your Go water is clear and has no bad taste.

GO safe
When the Go filter reaches its
full capacity (i.e. the end of its
lifetime), the membrane clogs
naturally, thus eliminating the
possibility of drinking
contaminated water from the
filter. The Go filter has an
amazing capacity of up to
1,000 liters (264 gallons)
Where to use LifeStraw® Go
LifeStraw® Go is your state of the art daily water bottle, which can eliminate your concerns about your public water quality.
Simply fill your Go at the sink and you are ready to go. However, Go is also your trusted hydration solution when you go for
adventures.
Technology
The LifeStraw® Go water filter contains specially designed hollow fiber ultra-
filtration technology, most commonly found in industrial water treatment plants that
clean a city’s water supply. The inside of the LifeStraw® Go filter consists of
a large number of hollow fibers that resemble angel hair spaghetti, but much thinner.
Each fiber has pores in its walls with a diameter of 0.2 microns or five hundred times
smaller than the diameter of a human hair. When water is forced through the hollow
fibers, only clean water can fit through these pores, blocking bacteria, parasites, and
dirt from reaching the user.
This purely physical method of
filtration does not contain any
chemicals.
LifeStraw for Hiking and Camping
LifeStraw® Go is the easiest way to
stay hydrated while on the Go. Just
scoop water into the bottle, and sip
through the straw, as you walk. If you
consume the recommended 3-4 liters
of water per day, LifeStraw® Go will
last you at least 250 days.
LifeStraw for Travel and Backpacking
You can attach LifeStraw® Go to your
backpack which makes it easy to
travel wherever you are. If you have
ever been sick travelling, you know
the importance of drinking filtered
water to prevent waterborne illness.
LifeStraw in Emergency Situations
Following a natural disaster, a family
may not be able to depend on their
regular water supply. LifeStraw® Go is
easy to use, making it perfect to
include in emergency preparedness
kits. A LifeStraw® Go for each family
member is a low-cost investment in
peace of mind.

gallons). Family is the perfect unit for households or
bigger groups with a capacity of up to 18,000 liters (4750

The Global Water Crisis
Worldwide, more children die of diarrheal disease than of HIV/AIDs, malaria, and measles
combined. A child is dying every seven minutes due to the lack of access to clean drinking water
and according to WHO, more than 750 million people worldwide do not have access to safe
drinking water. Most of these people live in the poorest places on Earth.
WaterNlife is dedicated to helping alleviate the global water crisis. Together with Vestergaard,
the inventor of LifeStraw, WaterNlife will donate clean drinking water to a child in Sub-Saharan
Africa for an entire school year for every LifeStraw® Go sold.
