You have a family version which does 18,000 liters and the personal lifestraw which is rated at 1,000 liters. What is the difference? More straws?

No, the family version does not use additional straws, it has it's own primary and secondary filter that provides enough filtration for the total of 18000 liters. The difference between the two is, you have two pieces separated by a hose and gravity is what pushes the filtered water through instead of suction like the straw.

The Family filters to 0.02 microns, which is an extraordinarily fine filtration level. Since it removes viruses in addition to bacteria and protozoa, they call it a purifier. The LifeStraw filters to 0.2 microns, which removes bacteria and protozoa. Viruses in reality are quite rare in our water.

It's a cute bottle but the straw does take out some room but not much. Hope this answers your question

I don't have the 18oz. I do have the 21oz. I can tell you...the 32 is my favorite for hiking and photos. The 32 is wider than the 21 but won't fit in the car holder. My 21 does perfectly also my bike bottle holder.

The one my mother has is not as long, so I am guessing that this is the newer version from the one she has. All I know is that I could never get it to work as it was supposed to. I threw mine away after the lid got stuck in it and I cut myself trying to get it off.

Both sizes keep drinks hot for hours. It's just a preference in how much beverage you enjoy having. I would not put this in your purse and carry it around. It is highly leak proof under normal use, but the spring lid will open if carried in a bag.

I can't answer that as I do not have any children. I believe the company makes straws and a liquid specifically for children though.

The ones I own don't have an extra space for a straw. I do from time to time put a little "juice box" size straw through the main drinking hole.

If you're looking to filter that much go with something bigger. It took me half an hour to fill up a liter. I spent more time pumping then what I got out of it.

Yep. I have 3 kids and my wife and I. We drink a lot of water. We have health issues so we drink more than the average user. It holds up great.

I have a 20 oz nalgene bottle I bought at REI.It is tall and smaller in diameter than the short round bottles. The straw fits nicely in the bottle. The straw does have it's own container but I don"t like it because you can't carry it around your neck like the Life Straw but have to find a pocket where you won't drop it and lose it. This is a great straw but does not allow as much water to come through with each sip as compared to the Life Straw. I like both them of them and use both of them. Hope this helps.

For the kid version:- the machine size is smaller, the handle is bit smaller- has no cover top! So you may need to wash it first before filling it with water- has less choice on the water pressure that can be selected (3 speed vs. 10 speed)- has less 'accessories'- the water cannot be stopped from the handle so the only way to stop the water from flowing is by turning off the machine- you cannot rotate the tip from the handle- has dual voltage- appears a bit flimsyI have tried both and decided to return the kid version because the adult version is so much better for me.

Well, from my point of view its a little more difficult than drinking from a straw but not uncomfortably so. My 8 year old child has no problems with it.

The one I got is 51 oz. (1.5 Liter). Assuming nothing has changed in the same listing from the same seller, it should be the same for you

Hi. I have not measured personally but my water tastes great between filtre changes and the product advertises: "Reduce your environmental impact: Using this Watts UF-3 system can save over 2,500 half liter bottles going in to land fills per filter change out."... sooo let's say that is 1250 full litres, that translates to roughly 330 US gallons between filtre changes. Hope that helps.

I am not sure. However, my dad is now at a stage where he couldn't handle holding a liter of liquid for longer than a minute. Yet, he's okay using this Walker.
