Depending on where you live, tap water may not be your first choice when you're thirsty. Although dedicated government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency are currently working to limit the amount of harmful "forever chemicals" in drinking water, you might want to take matters into your own hands. If you're concerned about lesser-known contaminants like PFAS that aren't reduced in typical water filters, I have a product you might love as much as I do.

The first thing that attracted me to the Lifestraw pitcher was its sleek design and glass build, which made me proud to add it to a table setting when company was over. But when I learned about the various contaminants that get filtered by this beauty, I realized that it's much more than just a pretty face.

About the Lifestraw Pitcher
Coming from a company known for its personal portable water filters that earned the brand its name, this pitcher is designed more for home use than outdoor adventures.
But it still carries the same heavy-duty filtering technology: It removes dirt, cloudiness, bacteria, pesticides, microplastics, chlorine, lead, mercury, and PFAS (which means you can even use this filter during boil water advisories in your community). And it does all that while still holding onto beneficial minerals in water, like magnesium and potassium.

I've owned this pitcher for over a year, purchasing it right after learning that my town had detected levels of PFAS in our community's drinking water. And I've loved it ever since. The lid features a hinge opening at the top, which makes it easy to fill under the tap without removing any clunky parts. The filter lasts for 40 gallons (or about two months) and is easy to replace and clean. And—possibly best of all—the water tastes great.
Plus, every purchase does some good (beyond your own hydration): Lifestraw matches each product purchased with a year of safe water to a child in need. It's also a carbon neutral company that offsets all annual greenhouse gas emissions.
