As far as I am aware, the Water to Go bottle is able to outperform most other water filters.
However, for exact information, I would suggest checking out their website. They have all the testing results that have been performed on the filter.
Here’s the Link:

Me to Water to Go..
Just a little confused as to what the life of the filter actually is !! You say it works for 200ltrs, about 266 fills, which is fine but if I don\’t put 200ltrs through it in the 3 months, occasional weekend use, has the filter degraded to a point it is no longer efficient and therefore needs replacing? As for buying multiple filter packs can you confirm, maybe publish, what the effective shelf life of the filters is as this could be important to preppers.
Water to Go response…..
“The throughput of water is the key factor. I f you drink 2 litres of water per day, every day, the filter will last 3 months as a guideline. If you drink less frequently the filter will last longer.
So long as the filter is still damp and has not been completely dried out, it is ready to go.
The filter has no shelf life as such. The technology is ‘dormant’ until the filter is activated by soaking it in water.”
]]>The 2 months applies to the filtering usage lifetime, which is approx. 130 litres of safe drinking water.
It is more of a guide if your are using the filter on a constant daily basis, or another example would be hiking abroad.
Once the filter is full it is designed to stop working, noticeable by a distinct reducing in flow.
I use mine as and when needed, ei: when Im out hiking etc. So my intermittent usage is way more than the 2 months constant use.
It is important to ‘re-activate’ the filter if it has not been used for a while.
In effect you do not want it completely drying out.
This is done by filling with water and turning up side down, and leave for 15 minutes.
It is now ready to go again.
hope this helps.

]]>Plus you always have a good stock, and they are very easy to transport if needed.
]]>With a new filter you can get 130 litrs of safe drinking water.
There is also a small timer strip that, once activated, will count down over 2 months.
This works out at drinking 2 litrs per day. The cost would be around 38p per day!
If you use more and quicker than that, the filter simply stops flowing.
Its a very good guide average indicator which helps a lot.
]]>I highly recommend.
