today we test out the lifestraw under the microscope to see if it really works!

If you thought about getting a lifestraw and wanted to help me as a creator, here is a link to the exact product -

Thank you for watching! Have a great day:)

That's incredible!
Way better than any ad I've seen for Lifestraw that's for sure

I think it’d be cool to see what unfiltered ocean water looks like. Also that life straw works incredibly well.

[Sercil]

I was afraid the filtered water would still have a lot of disgusting stuff left and you'd never want to use these filters, but this is actually quite impressive.

[jastin]

the fact that a 17$ small filter works better than some big filtration kits that sell a few folds more expensive is astounding.

I've used a similar product to drink gross stagnant water that was a darker brown color. I was a little nervous drinking it but it came out perfectly clear and had no taste. I survived off that water a couple days and never got sick. These filters are amazing.

I have a Lifestraw and a Sawyer system, and every time I use them, it always crosses my mind about just how well they actually work. Thank you for this scientific view on it

[Godsglory]

Lifestraw needs to pay you for this as an advertisement for their product. That was amazing.

this guy is a real youtuber, short and to the point, he keeps my sub forever now

I own a few lifestraws for emergency and although having done a little bit of checking in the past this visually demonstrated that I can trust them. Excellent vid, concise and to the point.

When I was young, whenever my mom would ask what I would like to receive for my birthday, I would say I want a microscope – a good microscope to see the kind of stuff this channel is posting. I was never given one, because we didn't have enough money for it (poor mom, she must be sad that she couldn't buy me one 😢). Until I just gave up on it.

So watching the videos here makes me so happy! I feel excited everytime!

good to know life straws no gimmick, that it actually works to the point of filtering everything 100%, I agree, that bit of debris was more than likely from the pump itself, but I consider the test a success.

[vickiefowler]

That’s fairly impressive. I was expecting good results but that was way better than what I thought it would be.

Lifestraw filters up to 0.2 microns, the Sawer Squeeze can filter down to 0.1 microns, you should give the Sawyer series a Test! 😊👍

What you need for extracting liquids without contamination is a peristaltic pump. It's basically just a straight tube from end to end, nothing ever touches the liquid in the tube. The pump pinches the tube with rollers, which transfers liquid without physically touching it. They're used in medical applications and they can very accurately dispense a defined amount of liquid down to fractions of milliliters.

Only thing I'd have done differently was to cycle clean potable water through first, as a control to see what was in the water - the debris. Then try the unclean water. Either way, this shows that the product works. I considered one myself some years ago, but went for Water-To-Go bottles and filters!

i live in ottawa canada, and when i was made homeless for 5+ years i used the lifestraw in the forest to drink the ravine water. i never got sick . i'm glad to see this product holds up. thank you lifestraw and thank you for the video

[bigbadradicalbrad]

Thank you for making this video to the point and not dragging it out for 10 minutes!! I loved it!

[timothymarret]

I think it would be cool to see the bacteria that grows and lands on a toothbrush that is just sitting in a bathroom. Maybe have a control, one that’s in a case, one in a medicine cabinet and one that’s open in a glass or holder on the bathroom sink in the open air…….. thanks! Great video!

[barshak]

Thank you for being to the point and easy to understand. Some channels would drag this out to 20-30 minutes.

None of the usual YouTuber drivel and antics to pad video length and viewership. Just to the point. Highly respectful of my time and my intelligence. Instant Subscribe. Great job.
