Qualified testing

Our goal is and will be to provide qualifiable test results with the Miracle Straw™ utilizing current and future EPA standards.

For a visual sample only, we are displaying the image to the left, which shows results after moving a large volume of bacterial water through the Miracle Straw™ in one of our most recent Independent laboratory tests. Our products have been tested by both independent and university laboratories. View a downloadable PDF of the ASI Test Results to your left.

EPA Registration vs. EPA Endorsements

Some units have an EPA registration number and an EPA establishment number. EPA registration (unlike that of NSF, WQA, or UL) is not intended to guide consumers in selecting a water treatment device, and is not an endorsement of the product. EPA registers any product that contains an antimicrobial (germ-killing) or bacteriostatic (slowing or inhibiting growth of germs) agent. EPA registers these products because consumers cannot independently verify whether the germrelated claims they make are true. For most units, an EPA registration number means that the filter uses a bacteriostatic agent to slow the growth of microbes within the filter, the unit does not pose a human health threat, and EPA has verified all bacteriostatic claims on the label.
Registration is not an endorsement of the filter or its performance.
The most commonly used bacteriostatic agent is silver.
