Is the replacement filter a regular Lifestraw or a specially designed filter? I thought my Lifestraw was good for more than 1000 liters?

Seriously? It is a $30 bottle, designed to keep you safe. If your safety isn't worth buying a replacement $30 bottle after 1000 liters (almost 250 gallons!) then you have bigger issues than the $30 bottle can fix. It IS good for more than 1000 liters, but it is safety gear. Choose wisely.

The replacement filter is specially designed for the bottle, but that said, you can fill the bottle and put your LifeStraw in and drink from it. The LifeStraw and the bottle are both good for 1000 liters.

For years I went with the official replacement. The benefit of that was that it had a replacement filter too.Now, I am trying the CreatorUV compatable replacement. Works fine, but have only had for a month, so I don't know life.

I know you asked this question a long time ago, but here's my two cents:My understanding is that Brita filters are meant for water that is already potable. I would HIGHLY recommend the LifeStraw for what you're talking about! Here's the link: LifeStraw Go Water Bottle with Integrated 1000-Liter LifeStraw Filter

The model number you provide is accurate, however, I have been purchasing replacement LG water filters with the model number LT 700 P and they fit perfectly. Hope that helps.

I have had mine for a year now and I have no complaints with it. I have not needed to use the replacement filter I bought at the time I bought the original filter. It works great, I have used it regularly for when there have been forest fires in the area and the air quality was considered unhealthy and just when I feel like having it on. I don't know if that answers your question, because I have only had it for one year.

I think you might have posted this as a general question. From your posting, I can't even see which filter you purchased. You should direct your inquiry directly to customer service. Better yet, call them at 888-280-3321....Alan

If you had it within the time aloted for a return, return it and get another brand. If it is past the return date and you have the receipt you can return it directly to the company. Most of the filters have a 1yr or lifetime guarantee. Hope this is helpful.

Manufacturer says 1 yr. I doubt if we have to replace ours at 1 yr, just vacuum the pre filter monthly. That will make a big difference on how long the filter lasts.

Eventually the filter will need to be replaced. As long as you take care of it it last a long time.

To tell you the truth, I returned this filter. There was old model and not supported by manufacture warranty. There was problem after installation and manufacture which is Amway refused to give me technical support as it was discontinued model. Good luck

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

Each filter does over 1,000 liters (~250 gallons) so there is a good chance most people will never get to the end of it's lifespan. But just in case there's some thirsty people out there, there will be replacement filters available soon for a small charge.

When I had my filter replaced with the same model filter, I used the multiport valve from my old filter and it worked perfectly. The old valve fit the new filter with no problem.

CharlesouTou are welcome. This has been a great filter. I have had it running continuously (other than cleaning) for more than 7 years with no problems.Mark

Is this a new filter unit? If it is new, sounds like defective to me. My experience has been that the filters always end up leaking when it is time to replace. Quality of workmanship and design is not directed at longevity.
