The LifeStraw Personal Water Purifier is an ultralight, portable straw-style purification system designed for hiking, camping, and emergency use.

The Brita Elite Faucet Mount (White) is a BPA-free, faucet-mounted filtration device that provides on-demand filtered water with a 3-way handle. It offers certified lead reduction but lacks specific flow rate data and has compatibility limitations with non-standard faucets. It is ideal for daily kitchen use in older homes or municipal water systems.
