What LifeStraw removes/filters:

LifeStraw filters down to an incredible, 0.2 microns in size! This removes virtually all the bacteria (99.99999%) and protozoa (99.9%) from contaminated water, and reduces turbidity (muddiness) by filtering out suspended particles.

Bacteria removed include:

• Escherichia coli,
• Campylobacter,
• Vibrio cholerae,
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
• Shigella
• Salmonella

Protozoa removed include:

• Giardia lamblia ("Beaver Fever")
• Cryptosporidium Parvum
• Entamoeba histolytica.

Please note: The LifeStraw currently does not filter heavy metals or viruses, and will not desalinate water.

Shelf life: Since 2005, all LifeStraws have been sent to developing countries for immediate use. Because of demand, there simply haven't been any in storage for more than 3 years, so the manufacturer has listed a shelf life of 3 years. That said, there's nothing in the LifeStraw that will decay, corrode, or "go bad", so it should be fine to store for years to come.
