FAQ’s

Q. How long does LyfeH2O Filters last?

A. In an average size house hold the filter will filter up to 5000 gallons or an astonishing 12 to 18 months depending on use case.

Q. How is Lyfe H2O Different from Berkey Systems?

A. Although Berkey and LyfeH2O systems are both gravity fed systems they do differ. One way is that LyfeH2O systems are designed with a luxury household feel. Lyfe H20 uses a Lead free borosilicate glass basin and a durable rust free stainless steel reservoir where Berkey systems use an all metal system that aren’t appealing to the eye nor differ from the closest competitor.

Q. Is the Lyfe H2O Filter system worth it?

A. If you have a known issue with lead or other metals in your water, the LyfeH2O System is worth investigating as a stopgap measure, especially if you’re considering a whole-house treatment system, or you need something that works without power.

Q. Do gravity water filters work?

A. While the water is being moved down, particles are being stopped and filtered to provide clean drinking water. Most importantly, gravity filter systems do a great job of cleaning water and making it safe to drink. The best gravity water filters provide clean drinking water efficiently.

Q. How does gravity based water purifier work?

A. In gravity-based purification, water is allowed to flow from a top container (stores input water) to a lower container (stores filtered water) under the effect of gravity. They fall under the non-electric water purifiers category because they do not need to be connected to any power source to purify water.

Q. Do generic filters actually purify water?

A. In a word, no. generic type filters are designed to take out waterborne contaminants such as chemicals, and to remove sediment. They aren’t at all intended to “purify” water or remove biological nasties such as giardia. So, get a filter that’s designed for backcountry and camping use.
