HOW IT WORKS

NANO FIBER TECHNOLOGY –

The patented filtration media technology used in all Sagan Life water purification products is based on electroadsorption of contaminants, not mechanical filtration. The electro-positively charged media acts like a magnet attracting and retaining contaminants, as small as viruses, out of the water as they come in contact with the media.

The media itself is made of layers of non-woven, nano-alumina coated glass fibers containing powdered activated carbon (PAC) and antimicrobial protection (silver). The positively charged media field is sandwiched between layers of spunbond polyester, which provides strength to the pleated media.

The proprietary filter media offers exceptionally high flow rates and efficiency in removing contaminants. The media has been shown to remove viruses, bacteria, cysts, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), disinfection by-products, endotoxin, natural organic matter and other sub-micron particles and therefore making it IMPOSSIBLE FOR DANGEROUS ORGANISMS TO PASS THROUGH.

WHEN TO CHANGE YOUR FILTER

Changing your filter will depend on how much water you use and how contaminated it is. Since the filter acts as a magnet, as mentioned above, your filter will get clogged up over time. When it gets to the point of not being able to get water out of the filter, or the flow is not sufficient for your needs, it is time to change your filter. Even if there is only a trickle of water coming out, that water is still safe to drink.

    I took my Xstream straw to our family reunion and all of the kids loved using the pump to get a drink out of the creek by our campsite.

    My husband and I recently traveled to Kauai to hike the Napali coast. The hike is extremely long and challenging with steep inclines and lots of humidity. We knew we wouldn’t be able to carry enough water with us so we made sure we packed our XStream Straw. We are so thankful we did! About halfway we stopped at a waterfall and used the straw to refill our water packs. Then, on the way back, with about 6 miles left in the hike we ran out of water. When we had around 3-4 miles left, we both had signs of dehydration setting in. We began to get worried. Thankfully we came across a small stream. We sat down and used the Sagan XStream Straw to drink from the stream until we felt replenished and ready to go. It was literally a life saver! I was kind of expecting the water to be safe but taste gross, but was surprised that it actually tasted pretty good. It was so nice to be able to drink from the stream and have confidence that we wouldn’t get sick. It is easy to carry and I will definitely be bringing it with us more in the future!

    I had been looking for a highly portable water purifier for my hunting/backpacking trips. I’d been using a small hand pump-style filter, but I wanted something that would do a better job with less effort (the hand pump is a pain). I did a lot of research before buying this, and it has best-in-class filtration/purification ratings. I decided to give it a try, and I haven’t been disappointed. Here’s what I liked after taking it on two separate trips to the backcountry over the past couple of months:- It’s very portable. On my trips, I kept it in a belt pouch so that I always had it with me, even when I was scouting without a full pack. I never noticed the weight of it.- This is obvious based on the design, but I didn’t have to bring a separate container or put my mouth practically in the water source. I loved the convenience of just popping it into the water and drinking when I needed to. I’ve used other portable filtration systems that do fine when you have a crystal clear stream, but not so well in shallower, stagnant water sources. The Sagan Life XStream straw was great when I had a stream to work with, but I was especially impressed when I tried it in a murky, shallow pond. The purified water still flowed easily as I drank, and the taste was much better than I expected. (and I didn’t get sick – it did the job it’s supposed to do). I never would have trusted anything that didn’t filter out viruses as well as bacteria with that kind of water source. So far, I don’t have anything negative to say about it. It’s going to be a staple for my future hunting/backpacking trips, and I highly recommend it.

    Bought this for overseas travel, camping, and emergency preparedness. Am very satisfied, and consider it a good value for the cost. Compared to a simple straw filter, this product is a bit bulkier but still very lightweight and small enough to easily fit in a pack or suitcase. A bit more effort to suck on than a simple straw, but I like this product better because I don’t have to lay down to drink, and also can use it to fill a bottle.

    I tried the personal straw water filter for the first time yesterday, and I was impressed with its design and functionality. I’ve used a number of other filtering products before (lifestraw, platypus, sawyer, and others), and this has some definite advantages. I think the best use for me will be when I’m hiking or fishing. With other products, it was rarely convenient to get down close enough to the water to use a straw and I didn’t like the alternative of contaminating a water bottle with unfiltered water to drink from that with the straw. The tubing that comes with this product made it easy to drink from the bank of a stream without laying down next to it. I was able to quickly and easily drink water through the straw — maybe just a little more effort than a hydration pack to get the water going. The filter end is probably a couple of inches wide and three or four inches long (guessing here) and I had the most consistent flow when I could submerge the entire filter. So if you’re drinking out of water that’s less than 2 or 3 inches deep, you could end up with some air bubbles in the line. I have only tried it in a fairly clean stream–slightly cloudy with spring runoff–but the taste was great. The bulb pump comes as an optional attachment (you can use either the mouthpiece or the pump at one time) and can be quickly clipped or un-clipped from the filter and hose. It took a couple of pumps to get the water going and then it delivered a pretty constant spray. It looks like it would fill a small water bottle pretty fast. If you’re looking to filter large quantities of water for a group, I’d probably consider other options. If you’re hiking solo or just have a few bottles to fill, this is a great option. If you’re looking for a filter that handles bacteria and viruses and can be quickly put in a backpack, jacket pocket, or fanny pack, I would definitely consider this system.

    Wow…talk about an easy-to-use backpacking filter! Purchased several of these for our backpacking trips, and emergency supplies. I also keep one in my fishing bag. They are so easy to use…just drop it in the river and start sucking. The flow is smooth and easy, and if you’ve got a water bottle handy, just attach the bulb pump and you can fill a water bottle in just a few pumps. Highly recommend this product.

    Best drinking filtered straw, yet. It’s easy to drink from and has enough length that you don’t have to stoop down or lay flat to get a drink. Filters the water so well, that it really tastes clean and fresh and you can tuck it in your pocket for easy carrying.

    I absolutely think this is the most amazing product on the market. I have used it while hiking and hunting this past year and it was amazing. Easy to drink through and the option to pump water versus sucking through the straw is a great feature. We filled up a few containers for my friends, The pump works a little slow since it has to draw water through the filter but it still works better than anything out there. Highly recommend.

    I love to hike in our beautiful Washington state mountains. But don’t want to pack in a lot of gear. The XStream Straw is perfect to tuck in my jacket and know I have access to pure, clean water from any of the streams or creeks along the way. And, I don’t have to lay on the ground to get a drink.

    Been using the Sagan Life XStream Straw for a few months now and love it. I keep it in my bag at all times and pull it out whenever I need a drink. I honestly was very unsure about this at first but when I filtered muddy water in a clear glass and there wasn’t a spec of dirt, I realized just how great this straw was!

    The straw is awesome off of the boat! No need to waste space on bottles and the length of the straw is perfect so you don’t need to lean over too far. Also easy to pack in with a backpack and again save space and weight from the typical water bottle. Great product.

    The XStream Straw Filter is an absolute game changer when it comes to any outdoor adventure. I drank lake water with it! I am over the top impressed with this Filter Straw! Your Sagan water filters are the best in the industry – hands down! I can’t wait to get my hands on the Journey water filter bottle! If you haven’t tasted the Sagan difference you are truly missing out! Looking forward to trying all of your products.

    The filter works well. It will certainly continue to come with me on expeditions. Virus protection is important in some of the places I go – which has prevented me from using other straw-type filters. This filter gives me peace of mind when planning my personal water supply, since I can now ere on the side of having too little water, then augment it with the filter if I need to.

    I love the design concept of the filter, be it using the tube to drink from or the pump to fill a container without having to lay on my stomach or getting as close as some other designs require. I’ve used it on four occasions with the pump twice to fill containers and drinking directly twice directly because I wanted a cool drink during a warm hike. Thanks for a great product!

FAQ

How long does the XStream Straw filter last?

 

Answer: The filter is rated for 250 gallons of really contaminated water. If you are filtering tap water or clear water you may get more gallons out of the filter. The filter can be dried out and stored and then used again at a future date. It does not expire.

 

How do I know when to replace the filter?

 

Answer: Changing your filter will depend on how much water you use and how contaminated it is. Since the filter acts as a magnet, your filter will get clogged up over time. When it gets to the point of not being able to get water out of the filter, or the flow is not sufficient for your needs, it is time to change your filter. Even if there is only a trickle of water coming out, that water is still safe to drink.

 

Is the filter easy to drink from?

 

Answer: Yes, the filter is easy to drink from. There will be a little resistance since you are drinking pulling the water through a filter, but it is easy to get clean water.
