David Austin Photography Blog: The Lifestraw Universal Adaptor Kit: Review

One thing you know for sure is that you need water to get through the day. Unfortunately, something that you don’t know is the purity of the water you’re drinking. From water fountains to bathroom sinks, to public wells in the country, there’s no telling exactly what you’re putting in your body. Water filters for daily use are a great idea, but they need to be easy to use. There’s a good chance that everyone in your family already has a favorite water bottle. Lifestraw knows this, so they invented the Lifestraw Universal Adaptor Kit.

Just like you, we have Nalgene bottles that we fell in love with years ago. The Lifestraw Universal fits perfectly on top of your favorite Nalgene bottle. It’s also compatible with most models for Nalgene, Camelbak, Klean Kanteen, Hydro Flask, Under Armour, and even a regular Gatorade bottle.

The filter removes 99.999% of waterborne bacteria and protozoa and can filter 1,000 liters. We particularly appreciate the carbon capsule, which removes any funky taste the water has. It also removes organic chemical matter such as herbicides and pesticides.

The Lifestraw Universal Adaptor Kit is the perfect fit for a cupboard full of forgotten, but functional water bottles. You can easily turn several old bottles into useful outdoor tools that can procure safe drinking water anywhere in town or on the trail. Make that college Nalgene bottle happy and put another 200 gallons through it.
