Self-Filtering Water Bottle?

[Mannequin]

Hey there, PSers, any recommendations for a 16 to 48 oz. self-filtering water bottle?

I''d like one for my desk at school so I can stop hauling in my own water bottles and be a little more "green" and eco-saavy. My school building is old and the pipes are connected to the incinerator building next door, so the water here isn''t the cleanest. Do any of you use a bottle like this? I''m looking for something that is self-contained, filter in the bottle either hanging from the top or attached to the bottom.

TIA!

Hi,
I have a reverse osmosis filter on my home water tap. Have you considered getting one of those instead and filling your bottle every day before work? That kind of filter is the best at cleaning water & removing chlorine AND the tank holds enough water that you can fill a large pan and use it for cooking too.

Thanks for yoru response, MC. I had thought about getting something like that, but I am limited on storage space for a tank of that size and would prefer a portable bottle that I can take and refill anywhere - school, car trips, stores, etc. I know I''ve seen them somewhere at a local store, maybe it was the REI near here... I am most concerned with getting something that won''t leak everywhere if I throw it in my bag!

Hey there,

I just use a normal water bottle that I take everywhere with me, but I googled for you and found this: http://www.purewater2go.com/bottles.html?gclid=CPeekayq6pACFQgZHgodazXwOQ

Hi

I use Britta water filter products at home and also have a water bottle as well. Check out the attached link.

Even though it''s Australian, I have no doubt you''ll find something similar where you are.

I also use Britta both at home and the water bottle they are both fantastic and much cheaper and more eco-friendly then buying bottled water

if the water is really bad use a coffee filter as a pre-filter will extend the life of your bottles filter a whole lot.
