 A great product after getting used to it. |

My girlfriend and I both got a water bottle in order to stop having to buy water, since the water in our area is kind of strong tasting. At first, we were kind of upset at how the bottle always seemed to leak from around the lid, but we soon came up with a couple of tips:
- Don't overtighten the top when you screw it on. I believe this deforms the top of the bottle and causes it to leak, since the bottle plastic is not as rigid as other bottles.
- If you squeeze the bottle, don't squeeze too hard. I've found that just sucking on the top produces the best results, but when you squeeze it, you can't squeeze too hard or else the water flow rate is too much for the filter and it leaks out of the lid seal.
With these two things in mind, the water bottles have become the greatest thing to have with us, as even the most horrible tasting water becomes drinkable. I'd highly recommend these to anyone. They drastically reduce the taste of chemicals in the water and do a really good job of filtering. |
Convenient, tastes good, and good for environment

I purchased this because I kept seeing ads for it on [...], where I track my daily food intake. At first I didn't quite know what was so special, but now that I think about it, it's a great thing to have! It's really convenient to refill (you just use tap water), it tastes really good, comparable to PUR or Brita filtered water, AND it saves so much on plastic water bottle waste.
And for the previous review who returned it because they couldn't get water out, all you need to do is turn it over and squeeze the bottle. That's why it's a squirt bottle, anyways! Happy drinking! |
Excellent for the price

I've shopped around looking for one of these for quite some time that I was willing to pay the price for and that would work in my bike water bottle holder. For the money, it works great. It does take a little patience, but if you've ever seen a Brita filter in action, you should expect that. I don't think it takes any squeezing, I just tilt it straight back and let it trickle into my mouth. The taste is still slightly plasticky, but, well, it's plastic (I'm spoiled to my stainless steel bottle). I use it as a backup--take my stainless steel one, then fill this when the other is empty. One thing I really like is how wide the top is--I can go to a restaurant and ask for a little ice and then fill it up without any trouble. All in all, a great value for the money.
UPDATED:
I got my boyfriend one in April. They now seem to be a little bit more sturdy and the leaks are not a problem. Also, over time, the sport cap on mine has become wimpy and it's tough to get it to stay open; my boyfriends seems must sturdier and his stay open and shut as it should. I think they've really listened to the reviews and feedback they've gotten and drastically improved it; I really hope you'll buy it because the new model is phenomenal; I would now give it 5 stars! |
Does what it's supposed to do.

| The water processed through this bottle's filters tastes totally pure. I could detect no hint of sulfur or any other distasteful flavoring. In short, it works just fine. Looks like stainless steel, but it is plastic, so don't be deceived by its appearance. Highly recommended. |
Pure, crisp water anywhere

This water bottle is great for many reasons!
PROS:
1) No more bottled water. In fact, water from this bottle tastes better than most bottled water (personal preference, since I don't like "spring" water and its added minerals.)
2) You can fill it up anywhere. Everywhere I have gone, no matter how pungent the chlorine smell and taste, I have gotten just amazing water. The filter, according to the manufacturer, works for 500 gallons.
CONS:
1) Bottle design: the bottle is too flexible and is prone to denting. The dents worked themselves out. Only around 3/4 of the bottle is fillable, thanks to the filter attached to the top.
2) As with any proprietary water filter, the availability in the future of the custom filters is uncertain.
FINAL WORD:
Get it. You'll be doing something good for the environment and your wallet. |
