Video of dirty water filtered through life straw under a microscope

As the title suggests. They also grow cultures from both the dirty and filtered water and an agar plate.

That's reassuring, at least it filtered all those little things out that were doing backstroke around the dish..

That's a great vid mate, thanks for sharing it. I've got a lifestraw built into a bottle that is my 'ready use' filter but for a longer set up I prefer the Sawyers, they promise a lot more gallons through them too. Its reassuring that these things do what they say though.

Exactly.....the Lifestraw in a bottle was my introduction to filters, and I bought a Sawyers Micro

On that YouTube channel there is also a link to similar water being boiled for three minutes which is just as effective against Bacteria and Protozoa and effective against some Virus. While the water was still technically dirty it was made safer.
