straw - bacteria build up yikes!
I can't tell if you're joking or serious. I'd bet this water bottle has less bacteria build up than other bottles. Wink

One review said water leaks out of the ventilation hole if tilted, so bottle must remain upright the entire time to prevent leaking.

That's a lot better than I was expecting, honestly. Assume that you would mainly use this where you can't pack in your own clean water, so it's probably not an everyday item either way.

Thoughts on storage? I put all my hydration bladder parts in the freezer between uses, but not sure if filters can do that, too.

DEFINITELY DO NOT PUT IN FREEZER
This is basically the only way to fark up a filter and the #1 tip backpackers/outdoors people should learn regarding water filtration. There will be water leftover inside the filter and water expands when it turns to ice -> it'll destroy the membranes in the filter. The filter will appear to still work but it is allowing pathogens through.
For overnighters where temp may drop into freezing territory, you should actually have your filtration device inside your sleeping bag so your bodyheat can prevent it from freezing. For borderline nights, usually I just bring into my tent and hope it stays marginally above freezing, this way I don't risk the residual water getting my sleeping bag wet.

This is a bit of an odd product. Maybe more as a sanity item for traveling overseas where tap water may not be potable. Grayl water bottles are more popular for that (but much more expensive).
For ourdoors activities, I'd recommend sticking to the classics like Katadyn Befree or Sawyer Squeeze. These are lightweight, effective, not much more expensive, and they have filtration lifespans on the order of thousand(s) of Liters or more. Sawyer Squeeze is supposed to last 100k gallons, albeit it'll likely clog or degrade by then

26 gallons is for charcoal filter (the filter is to remove chlorine and some organic material, whatever that is) - main filter is good for 4000L while Katadyn Befree is up to 1000L, although Katadyn is faster flow rate probably due to its 1/4 length of Lifestraw filter which explains 1000L vs lifestraw's 4000L

Thank you, that's exactly why I asked and didn't state that as a recommendation -- I've never used a filter that I didn't dispose of after the trip, and I've been torn on the idea Lifestraw/Sawyer for years -- what to do once they're soaked and need to be stored. Non-filter parts from my hydration packs have done great in freezers for 15+ years.

Why in the world is this downvoted? Any time you have crevices, you have an increased risk of bacteria build-up. Biofilm can and will accumulate. Straw systems introduce a lot of areas that are difficult to fully clean with physical abrasion, which is needed to properly clean biofilm. Simply swishing around hot water and soap is not the same and will not remove accumulated biofilm. I guarantee the vast majority of you all don't clean your bottles properly and often enough.
Just because it has a filter doesn't mean it has less bacteria buildup. Every time I see people downvote these types of comments, I just imagine the lot of you are the ones I see in public drinking out of bottles and thermoses that clearly have a filthy amount of black gunk around the mouthpiece.
