Filtered water bottle - Monica J. Mccoy, Mar 19, 2008

I really appreciate this product, and the piece of mind it gives me. I know it's designed for campers, but I use it at work. I was really tired of buying bottles of water, but being pregnant I just couldn't trust the tap water. With the water in D.C. being found to contain all sorts of chemicals and pharmaceutical, it's nice to have a way to get decent water when I'm out. The only reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five is (1) because of the large filter, it doesn't hold as much water as I'd like, (2) it's pricey and (3) it tends to leak sometimes when I squeeze it. Overall, I'm glad to have it, but probably should have bought the next model up with a larger reservoir.

Great Water Bottle - Gis, Feb 12, 2008

I really like this water bottle. I get sick, at times, after drinking water that may not have been too clean, but I don't when using this bottle. I used it on a cruise My Husband and I took and never got sick. I would definately recommend it to my friends and family. My only suggestion is that it should have a cover over the mouth piece (which can come into contact with anything when being carried around). Not having a mouth piece cover kinda defeats the purpose of having a filter water bottle.

water purifier bottle - Robert L. Cararie, Nov 04, 2007

We used this bottle on a trip to
Asia. It was easy to use. We
can not vouch for the effectiveness,
but we had no ill effects from the
water that was filtered by the
bottle.
