Epic Water Filters Nalgene OG Water Bottle with Filter, USA Made, BPA Free, Removes 99.99% Tap Water Contaminants, Forever Chemicals, American Rivers Art, 48 oz

The filter. I've only used the filter on tap water at this time, and it seems to work well. My household tap tends to have a not so great flavor and with this filter it has a clean, pleasant taste. It is true that the filter only pulls to the last 10 or 12 ounces and for an OUTDOOR filter I am perfectly okay with this. If I'm out hiking, camping or what not and I have to get water from a river, lake or stream the sediment will settle on the bottom of the bottle and will not be sucked up into the filter. It does take some suction force to get water but when you are sucking through a filter, its to be expected. The more you use it the easier it will get. The bottle. This specific bottle is a soft material, which is good for outdoor durability. I'd of preferred a hard bottle. It's a matter of preference is all. The cap. The cap is quality built, easy to use. The lid opens nicely the mouth piece flips up easy and the spot where the carabiner attaches is thick and tough so it wont break easily. The slot that the mouth piece tucks into is also where the air hole is and mine tends to build up a decent amount of water in this area. I think this is due to me squeezing the soft bottle. It's not an issue for leaking but will be an area to pay close attention to when cleaning as its where mold, bacteria etc. will build up and where the mouth piece sits. The carabiner. Nite Ize S-Biner #4, I already own a bunch of these, I like them. Not for climbing use but they are great for gear and can be used for way more than holding just your bottle. I bought this bottle for a trip next month, where water may be questionable. When I get back IF this did not work well I will update the review.

Excellent bottle filter is easy to get started works great super excited to see it is from a state side shop

I've only been using this for a day, but will update this review later on. Filter: Wow the filter is excellent at removing foul tastes from tap water. I live in a city with a lake fed water supply, and late summer algae blooms in the lake make the water taste terrible. It's allegedly hard to get rid of the compounds in the water from the algae blooms that cause the bad taste and odor, but this filter performs flawlessly. That said, the large filter on my refrigerator performs this task just as well, but anecdotes I've seen about our city's water quality imply that a Brita isn't fully able to eliminate the algae issues. Leakage: I filled up the bottle, turned it upside down, and no water leaks out. Time will tell if it continues to hold up in this regard, but so far so good. I hope it will remain leak proof as I would normally be carrying this in a sling bag and a messenger bag, which would both hold the bottle at angles that would probably cause leakage. Capacity: As mentioned in most reviews, you cannot drink all of the water due to the design of the filter. You're left with 4-6oz of inaccessible water, depending on how you have the filter oriented and the bottle angle (I'm still experimenting on which way is best). This would be less of an issue if the filter only had the opening on the bottom instead of the sides, but I assume this is a design trade off for maximizing filter effectiveness and reducing the pressure needed to draw water through it. I'm ok with the compromises made here, but you might want one of the 48oz bottles instead if capacity is a concern for you. Also note that the 32oz rated capacity includes the filter displacement, so subtracting 4oz of inaccessible water, you can get 28oz of drinkable water per fill. Side note, if you have a Nalgene / Guyout stainless 38oz bottle and are curious if the lid from the Epic Nalgene bottle fits, it does fit, but it also does not seal well enough and will leak. You might be able to really crank it down to get it to seal up, but I didn't want to damage the threads. UPDATE: I used this for a week on vacation for all drinking water in Orlando at a hotel and in the theme parks. If you're familiar with the water in this area, it has a strong sulfur taste and smell, but this filter eliminated it completely. I also had zero issues with the lid leaking, and all in all this bottle / filter performed flawlessly for me all week long. The only con to this bottle is that you can't filter water for others with it. UPDATE 2: I liked the 32oz so much that I ended up getting a 48oz as well. Still no issues with leaking with either of them. UPDATE 3: The new filter design allows you to drink almost all of the water with no trouble, nice! I'm two years in on two of these bottles, still working great, still no leaks. UPDATE 4 (Sept 2025): Three years in now, bottles are still working great, and they still don't leak. They've redesigned the "everywhere" filter again and now it has a bit of charcoal so it does a good job of eliminating weird tastes and it's easier to drink through. 100% still recommend these bottles and filters.

I love the concept and it seems to work well. Not a super noticeable difference in taste but I think it tastes better. I just care about not drinking metals! It came in a bag, inside of a bag. No social boxing or logos which make ordering fun. It also came with NO INSTRUCTIONS which was frustrating for me. I heard you’re supposed to run cold water over filter or let it soak in a bowl of water, but no instructions so I had to search it up. Apparently Epic Water actually filters out bad chemicals and metals from tap water many times more than Brita. I almost bought Brita which is a similar price. But I am happy I got this! My only recommendation: add packaging not just bags, add instructions, add maybe a couple fun stickers like most nalgenes come with.

It came with two filters. The everything filter which is the white one that is shown in all of the pictures and some kind of "tap water" filter (I forgot the name of it, sorry). I'm using the everything filter for tap water because I want the best filtration and the water does taste better. The bottle seems well made, sturdy and does not leak when turned upside down. If what the company claims about the filtering abilities are true, its well worth the money. The water should be even cleaner than bottled water because microplastics are found in bottled water. I also like that it filters heavy metals, bacteria and pharmaceuticals. They say you can use this filter to drink water from a fresh water source in the wild but I don't intend on using it that way although its nice to know that's an option in an emergency. If I was going to say something bad about the bottle, it would be that you have to suck kind hard to get the water through the filter and that I wonder about the pop up spout being accidently opened if left giggling around in a backpack.

My only issue is a bottle bottle of ice melted in 45min in chilly weather. I bought to filter microplasrics. I drink 12 bottles of water a day and felt this would be better for my health. With half ice only 1 16oz bottle of water fit. Not sure where the my other oz's of said larger bottle was suppose to go but not in this bottle. Ice melted super quick and still didnt add up. I did not have issues with it being too hard to suck. Prob because I bought a Lifestraw bottle first and that thing was impossible on the cheeks. So this is easier and do-able.

I purchased this after getting a Br*ta water bottle and feeling let down both by the filtration quality and an error in the quantity of replacement filters I ordered at the same time. I had grown accustomed to a large-capacity (40oz) water bottle I was using previously, and the size of the Bri*a water bottle was a disappointment to me too. So when I saw this one with its whopping 48oz capacity and customizable filtration system and its great selection of artistic bottles, though I was skeptical of the price difference, I decided I'd give it a shot. I'm so glad I did! I saw reviews where only one filter type was received and I was worried this might be an error in the listing, however when I received it I found that while the 'everywhere filter' is wrapped separately, the 'everytap' filter was already preinstalled in the cartridge piece-- if you order one, keep this in mind to check before thinking it wasn't included! I haven't yet tried the 'everywhere' filter as I really only need to filter tap water, but I can say that the taste of the water filtered through the everytap filter is definitely nicer than it was with B*ita's filter, I feel like it'll probably last longer than those filters, and I'm very pleased with the 'splurgey purchase.'

I only wish it was bigger. I live in a weird water city and it makes my water not taste weird anymore

Works great. Tap water tastes fresh and clean. Components feel like they are high quality, and assemble easily. It is not difficult to suck water through the filter. When the water level gets low, you can't use the filter, and have to top up. Filters are easy to change. At the time of writing I haven't tried the everywhere filter for outdoor water sources, so unfortunately can't speak to that.

Bottle arrived without the carabiner. Reached out and was told it is no longer included. Unfortunate that it was only made known upon me reaching out that no carabiner will be provided. Would have given 5 stars for the bottle. Knocked off 2 stars for not giving the product as shown.

This is more than a filter it’s a purifier. Filters out lots of contaminants including viruses so great for travelling including 3rd world water sources . This one came with 2 filters which was a surprise as only 1 was listed. The 2nd filter was there every tap water filter. I have an epic pitcher which is awesome and if you join there filter club you get a discount. Epic filters/purifier is the real deal and has lots of independent testing done to prove what they claim. Price was an absolute bargin. $52 for bottle and 2 filters was same price as just 1 filter.

Ich liebe meine Epic Water Filter Trinkflasche! Das Wasser schmeckt absolut neutral – kein Plastik- oder Chemiegeschmack, einfach nur frisch und sauber. Die Flasche ist super praktisch, ich kann sie überallhin mitnehmen und brauche keine teuren Einwegflaschen mehr zu kaufen. Sie hat ihren Preis schon mehrfach wieder reingeholt. Ich habe so immer frisches, kaltes Wasser dabei – egal ob unterwegs, im Studio oder auf Reisen. Klare Empfehlung!

Me llegó incompleto, sin el clip para colgar la botella en la mochila
