Using Your Prepared Kids Water Filter Straw

As a Mom and the Founder of Prepared Kids, I know our water filter straws are effective, but are they also simple to use? 

It turns out they are!

So simple, even my 2 and a half year old can operate them. To test this out, we ventured to a gentle but steadily moving river and I gave my toddler the instructions to drink from the mouthpiece just like you would a straw and put the bottom end just in the water. Very easily, she did it!

The Prepared Kids portable water filter straw, designed for outdoor camping and emergencies, uses activated carbon for advanced purification. It is manually powered by you, no batteries required.

There are 3 stages contained in the Prepared Kids water filter straw – 

Stage 1 is the screen pre-filter. It removes large particles found in natural water sources.

Stage 2 is the Activated Carbon. This removes chlorine, VOC’s and other harmful chemicals plus reduces odour and improves the overall taste. 

Stage 3 is the hollow fibers filter that filters out particles and harmful bacteria as small as 0.1µm (microns). With the Prepared Kids water filter straw there is - 

99.999% Protozoan Parasite removal

99.999% Micro-Plastic removal

99.999% Bacteria removal

Real Life Gear Testing Tip: When using your Prepared Kids water filter straw for the first time, or after it has dried out, drink through the straw like you are drinking a milkshake - it may take a few good draws to suck it up at first but then will flow easily.
