WATER TO GO Classic BPA-Free Water Filter Bottle & Purifier, 750ml, Red

I have just returned from a 2 month trip to S.E Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.) Was very skeptical about using this product but I can happily say it works a treat and I have returned bug and ill-free! This product is great value for money.... saved me so much money and also the hassle of trying to purchase water in remote places, also a massive plus of not wasting plastic bottles. I used the bottle from as many sources I could; toilets with a vast array of cleanliness conditions, standing water from dirty buckets to ponds. To the comments about it leaking... I noticed a tiny amount of water can drip out of the nozzle that you drink from after it is folded back down, but the amount is minuscule. As a general rule I tend to keep my bottle upright as much as possible anyway. (Shameless plug) I made a carry case for my bottle so I can always have it around my neck/shoulder.... It never let my side. Great investment.... highly recommend!

Superb! I travelled around India for two months and this was a lifesaver. I could top it up at train stations. It was also really helpful in hostels and hotels that didn’t provide clean water by. Default. In addition I realised how much plastic I was saving by not purchasing numerous disposable bottles. I have to say that during my whole trip I didn’t get sick once and I had a lot of street food, my doctor told me to take probiotics every day for a month before my trip and this will be my top tip for anyone who is travelling to this wonderful continent

I trust that the web site claims are free, and will be using it for tap water so not too extreme. This is a substantial and well made bottle, mine does not spill, so (may) be the improved version. The bottle is well made, so does not crush down when empty, but that is the pay off for long term durability. The right size to fit in a side bag, not too large (& therefor not too heavy either when full!) As with all of these designs, yes a bit of effort is required to draw through the straw, and yes there is sometimes a slights taste, but at least it (should) be clean. Need to PRE soak the straw if it has dried out. The ultimate labeling on this is MADE IN CHINA, so would NOT trust this bottle for degraded water (only trust a reputable brand for that) but for 'additional level' of protection from 'tap' water hope this is ok. GOOD as an additional level of protection from Tap Water.

Where I live the water taste is revolting. If horrid water taste was an Olympic Sport, our town would surely qualify for the gold medal. I have other water bottles with filters that are extremely good, but the cost of those filters has got pretty crazy the last couple of years. Looking for a cheaper alternative, this seemed like a good option to try. From the reviews I noted that the early ones reporting leaks from the top seems to have been an issue that has been dealt with. It has. Indeed, to activate the dry filter the instructions say to turn the bottle upside down for fifteen minutes for the filter to work correctly. That the lid isn't flat was my only issue, so you will need some way of propping the bottle in an upside down position. However, no leaks. The flow of water as you tip the bottle to drink is good. No need to use strong suction for it to work. Some suction is required, but that's not unusual with filter bottles. At 75ml it's nice to have more water than a standard 50ml bottle, yet not have the weight of a one litre bottle. The curve in the design also makes the bottle easy to hold. By total chance, where I live had reports of parts of the town experiencing dirty water only 24 hours after I started using the bottle. Luckily where I live in town didn't seem affected, but I was able to fill up the bottle knowing if there were any small amounts of sediment in the water, this would deal with them. It just goes to show that no matter where you live, an emergency problem with your water supply could be just around the corner. The taste of my water using this filter is great, as good as my much more expensive filters, so I am now able to think about buying replacement filters for this bottle, knowing it's saving me even more money. Plus, it's keeping all those plastic water bottles out of the ecosystem. If I was to give this a mark out of 10, it would probably be a 9½ out of 10, and it only loses that ½ mark because the bottle doesn't sit flat when you turn it upside down. Yeah, it's a minor niggle, but so much good thought has obviously gone into this, it's a shame that aspect isn't great. Especially if you're disabled like me, and can't hold something in the correct position for that long. That aside, I am so far very impressed with the overall design, plus costs associated with buying the filters.

I would love to give this bottle 5 stars. I think the concept is excellent, and I've used mine both for wilderness backpacking and wild camping, as well as general travelling. The water tastes great, and I love how you can just fill it up and drink it straight away. However, what really lets this down (and I've had two of these now), is the thread between the bottle and the bottle top. It's quite a large moulded thread, and made of really rather soft plastic. In the two bottles I've had, this thread has worn out after only a few uses. I'm an engineer, and am very careful not to cross-thread things, but this really is a weak point on this bottle, and only really a matter of time before it goes kaputt. A real shame, because I think the bottle is othewise great, and I'm sure that without this issue, it would become one of my most useful travel companions.

I bought three of these bottles for a trip into the jungle in Indonesia. We used them to drink water from the streams... and also for boiled water. The boiled water had a distinct "burnt " flavour...but once we used these bottles to filter it, we could hardly taste the "burnt" flavor anymore. The filters definitely work!! Due to the solid bottles, it is a bit harder to drink out of these bottles than any other plastic water bottle (requires harder suction)... but it is totally worth it given the peace of mind when drinking water from rivers, streams or even from the tab. One of the three bottles's lids started leaking after a short while...a small leak, not the biggest issues...and the supplier sorted this out without hesitation (replaced the faulty bottle). Superb service from Gadets4travel!! Thank you

I can't speak to how good the actual filter unit is. (on paper it claims to do all the things I needed it to do filter wise, but at a fraction of the cost of other units). But the bottle and design are far from perfect. Firstly the bottle leaked just like other reviewers said. It leaks from the spout and from the rubber gasket that allows air into the bottle as you drink. It's enough to ruin the contents of your bag during a day. Secondly, the bottle is really difficult to drink from. Squeezing it is very difficult and the flow rate is painfully slow. Finally, the biggest design flaw here is that the rubber gasket that allows air in so that you can drink from the bottle, also lets water (unfiltered) out... Which then either drips onto your face as you drink... Or it collects in same spot that the spout folds into when closing the bottle, and so the spout is sitting in unfiltered water. Not an issue if its regular tap water, but definitely a big concern if you are drinking water from a questionable source.

For ages I have been looking for the perfect waterbottle. One that doesnt leak and well built. Well finally I think I have found it. It only arrived yesterday, so I havent tried it for long, but so far it is great. It doesnt leak (which I was concerned about given some of the reviews). The noozle is just right enabling you to drink quickly if you need to. The water tastes great, just like bottled water. It is also reassuring that wherever you are its safe to drink the water using this system (obviously except sea water). I believe one review commented that it is noisy when drinking from it. It does make a slight sound but is not noticable. So far I am extremely happy and I will update this review in a couple of months time to see if I am just as pleased.

Fait son boulot, parfait, pas de fuite malgré les dires

Not worth it. Get a life straw and a nalgene. Hard to use, leaks, not easy to start the filter process - unclear how well it works.

Utilisé pour un trek dans le désert marocain et rien à dire. Nous avons bien suivis les instruction afin de "mettre en route" le filtre en le laissant tremper et nous avons bu toute la semaine l'eau que nous puisions directement à la source. Moi qui d'habitude tombe facilement malade en vacances, je ne l'ai pas du tout été, je ferais tous mes voyages avec désormais ! La seule chose qui me freinais jusqu'à maintenant c'était les prix des filtres (entre 10et15€) mais après quelques calculs, quand on prends en compte le prix des bouteilles d'eau à acheter sur place, l'encombrement quand il faut les porter en trek, et l'impact écologique qu'on a sur le pays, je me suis laissé tenté par cette gourde et je ne le regrette pas. J'ai pris le grand modèle afin de prendre en compte le volume mort (environ 50mL) de la gourde car il faut que le filtre trempe dans l'eau pour pouvoir boire. Aucun problème pour aspirer l'eau.

ottimo prodotto ...bello e funzionale ...solo leggermente pesante
