Perfect for camping, hiking, travel, outdoor adventures, and everyday use
The double-wall vacuum insulation keeps beverages cold for hours
The membrane microfilter removes 99.999999% of bacteria (including E. coli and Salmonella) and 99.999% of parasites (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium)
It also filters out 99.999% of microplastics, silt, sand, and cloudiness for cleaner water
The activated carbon filter reduces chlorine, organic chemicals, and odors for better-tasting water
The durable 0.2-micron membrane microfilter lasts up to 1,000 gallons (4,000 liters)
The activated carbon filter lasts up to 26 gallons (100 liters) with proper maintenance
It improves taste and helps reduce single-use plastic bottle waste
Meets U.S. EPA and NSF/ANSI drinking water protocols for safety and performance
Certified to meet U.S. EPA and NSF P231 standards for bacteria and parasite removal
Unless the shit really hits the fan, I don’t really see myself using this. I don’t do long hikes or hunting trips, but it would probably be a good gift for your paranoid family member’s “bug out bag.”
This may be a dumb question, but is it possible to use these without the filtering part? For example, I fill it up with water at home, and have no intention of filling it with stream water during a hike. Can the filter be removed so I’m not wasting filter life drinking already-good water?
I have the non-insulated version. No, it will not be functional without the filter installed as that is how the water gets to the mouthpiece. I am very happy with my non-insulated version. Took it on a 15 mile hike in the backcountry this past weekend and it was nice not having to pull out the old standalone filter (sawyer squeeze). Literally just dip it in the creek and go.
I guess the only way to justify this purchase is to take a trip to Mexico. Maybe Costa Rica. Probably have to purposely dehydrate myself with margaritas to test this thing in volume. Science and stuff.
I hope you’re happy now, Meh.
As a daily-use water bottle anywhere that has decent tap water, it’s a waste of money and resources since the filter will need changing despite having done very little. Someone else has reported that it’s nonfunctional in straw mode without that filter. For me, that makes it a rare-use unitasker; no thanks.
@werehatrack not sure about that. With room air filters (sold here a LOT), I like to think that if fairly clean air goes in, it does not “use up” the filter very much. Depends on how much dust/pollen going on. Some with electronic sensors are “smart” and detect that, others just use a XXX hours timer. Others have no filter warning so you’re on your own but I think I know if it’s been a dusty and pollen-y time so may not buy another $50-100 replacement filter yet.
EDIT speaking of AIR filters, but same with water I would assume.
@pmarin Water filters need flow to keep from becoming bacteria farms. This is exacerbated by the fact that by the act of trapping and concentrating the water’s impurities, they increase the fertility of their own filter medium. Absent enough flow (and sanitization methods), they can become hives of what you don’t want in your water. And bacteria can be really good at getting past a filter if they have time to do it.

@moshemalka123 it made a 20-minute appearance in Thursday’s mehrathon, but we all know that doesn’t count
@moshemalka123 @troy
Sure it does. It had a click face. And that added to the count.

@goldnectar
I use mine when I fly. I fill it as soon as I get through TSA, and don’t have to buy a $6 bottle at the airport store.
Paid for itself numerous times over.
/showme contaminated airport water
@mediocrebot I love flying!
Hah!

Weak, @mediocrebot, weak.

Me: up all night googling “why does the back of my head hurt when I stand up”
Google: could be this, that, this, or dehydration.
Meh: we’ve got a deal for YOU!
Life: you’re a day late and a dollar short.
Typical.
@roachy You can still buy it, though!
@Kyeh @roachy But he’s still a dollar short, unless you’re donating.
KuoH
@kuoh @roachy Ahh, I see.
