I use this bottle hiking with my children. As long as we hike where there are reliable streams for refilling, we can all share this one bottle instead of each carrying our own quart or 2. Super weight-saver, as I am always carrying the youngest, (plus food, diapers, gear, etc) so I don't have space or oomph for all the water we require. We could use a backpacking filter, but I like that one of the kids can fill this bottle from the stream, while I keep the filter/spout part away from the water. Fun for them and less chance for error.

Purchased this water bottle and took it on vacation to the Smokey Mountains. I placed my bottle in the mountain creek and drank the water, also used it with the tap water. Great tasting water, this filter also removes chlorine from tap water. A great product! Everyone should have one of these! Sandy CSR, Lehmans

I never leave home without this! I don't trust tap or bottled water, so I take this with me everywhere; even to restaurants so that I always have good-tasting, filtered water. So simple to use; just fill with water, screw lid on, and squeeze bottle as you drink. I gave it to a friend for her birthday and she said it's the best-tasting water she's ever had! Be aware, however, that it does NOT remove fluoride. It is NOT for use with salt water. Don't run filter through hot water, don't place it in the microwave, and don't allow it to freeze. You may, however, put ice or cold water in this bottle, and you may refrigerate it (not freeze it). Worth every penny. Every family member should have one! Be sure to get extra filters!
