Product Details
The LifeStraw Peak Series Gravity Purifier is designed for higher-volume emergency water purification when a personal filter is not enough. Its 8-liter gravity system works without pumping or electricity and can process water at up to 30 liters per hour, making it a strong option for households, groups, camping, and emergency preparedness.
Its 0.02-micron ultrafilter membrane removes 99.99% of viruses, along with bacteria, parasites, microplastics, sand, dirt, and cloudiness. LifeStraw states that the system meets U.S. EPA and NSF P231 drinking-water standards for virus, bacteria, and parasite removal.
The ultrafilter is rated for up to 18,000 liters (4,755 gallons) of water. The system includes an 8-liter gravity bag, hose, carry strap, carabiner, bottle adapter, prefilter, leakproof cap, and backwash syringe.
