Also I've used this a Couple of times whilst out mountain biking from flowing streams once again brilliant value, fresh clean tastings..
Some cons are: I have had some issues with leaking when it is not upright, and it is a big pain to squeeze filtered water out- it takes aaaaaaaages to fill a 2L bladder using this method, it's not even worth it. And I wish there was an easier way to keep track of the filter lifespan.
I would recommend this product, and hope to keep on using it for many years to come.
Pros: The water tastes excellent (we just used hotel bathroom taps etc and had no issues) and nobody got sick during a 4 week trip. Also, where we were, hotels and the like used to burn plastic water bottles out the back so at least we didn't contribute to that. It easily paid for itself by the time the trip was over and was still going strong even after filtering approximately 8+ liters a day. For me, the big plus is that we didn't end up buying hundreds of plastic bottles.
Cons: You have to check the filter is securely tightened every so often because ours fell off a couple of times which ended up with unfiltered water in our drinking vessel. Also, ours leaked out of the side of the cap so I am not sure if this was a fault with the one we got.
I would definitely buy again.
However, as mentioned I've only been using for two months and it's nearly shut down (filter clogged). It says it can do you 1600l I've maybe done 250l max and I've only ever used tap water with it. I would understand if I'd been drinking out of a lake.
I was hoping it would last the full 5 month I'm in Africa but I can hardly get anything out of it now.
Also the design is quite clever but it's execution isn't good enough. The flip spout pops off sometimes when you open it and the rubber ring below which is supposed to stop water from leaking moves sometimes so it leaks in your bag or when your using it.
Overall it does work and if you're going away for a few weeks it's a good option at the price point. Never tried any of the other ones on the market so can't compare.
Easy to use, good size, even for carrying around all day.
Nice to be able to just drink water from random taps etc.
Bit of an effort to get the water to 'flow' at the beginning, but got used to it pretty quickly.
I used it a few times from streams and once from River Coe. I'm paranoid so I chucked in a chlorine tablet as well. Some of the stream water was a bit discoloured. Water that came out the tap was clear and tasted great, couldn't tell there had been chlorine added. More importantly I didn't get the trots. So it seems to remove the chlorine and any nasties the chlorine didn't get.
I had an earlier version from a few years ago and this is a distinct improvement, it used to take ages to squeeze water out into a second bottle, this is much faster.
I'd have liked some kind of fastening on the top of the bottle that could be used to hook it to a strap on a rucksack to make sure it couldn't fall out of an external water bottle pocket. Nalgene's are great for that. The wrist strap thing is fairly useless to me.
