It’s a no-brainer that being able to drink clean water is crucial for your overall health and survival. And it’s scary to think that you might ever be in a situation where that could be compromised.

Well, there’s a special straw on the market that allows you to make just about any type of water drinkable—and it’s currently just $10 on Amazon as part of Amazon Prime Day. It’s called the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter, and what is does is nothing short of amazing.

The straw contains a microfiltration membrane that removes 99.999999% of waterborne bacteria (including E. coli and salmonella), and 99.999% of waterborne parasites (including giardia and cryptosporidium). The filter also removes the smallest microplastics found in the environment, and reduces turbidity down to 0.2 microns.

You use this like any other straw. Simply remove the cap, place one end of the straw into water you come across in nature, and suck. The hollow fibers inside the straw trap pathogens, so the only thing that touches your lips is clean, safe, drinkable water.

This straw also lasts. The microbiological filter will provide 1,000 gallons of clean and safe drinking water, as long as you use the straw the way it was designed and maintain it. And, if you’re taking it camping, it won’t weigh down your pack: It weighs just two ounces.

People rave about this straw in the reviews. “I drank from the most disgusting looking crevice filled with brown scum. I thought, this is going to be safe, but taste horrid. WRONG. TASTED LIKE THE FRESHEST SPRING WATER. Better than any tap,” one person wrote. “I've used these both in Iraq & Afghanistan. Works as advertised. Extremely reliable and genuinely safe to use filtration system,” another said.

LifeStraw is also big on giving back. For every straw you purchase, a school child in need receives safe drinking water for an entire school year.
