Customer Reviews

Great Water Bottle
I really like this water bottle. I get sick, at times, after drinking water that may not have been too clean, but I don't when using this bottle. I used it on a cruise My Husband and I took and never got sick. I would definately recommend it to my friends and family. My only suggestion is that it should have a cover over the mouth piece (which can come into contact with anything when being carried around). Not having a mouth piece cover kinda defeats the purpose of having a filter water bottle.

Filtered water bottle
I really appreciate this product, and the piece of mind it gives me. I know it's designed for campers, but I use it at work. I was really tired of buying bottles of water, but being pregnant I just couldn't trust the tap water. With the water in D.C. being found to contain all sorts of chemicals and pharmaceutical, it's nice to have a way to get decent water when I'm out. The only reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five is (1) because of the large filter, it doesn't hold as much water as I'd like, (2) it's pricey and (3) it tends to leak sometimes when I squeeze it. Overall, I'm glad to have it, but probably should have bought the next model up with a larger reservoir.

Great Emergency Water Supply
The ease of use and simple rugged construction belies the high technology of this water purification system. It's design is also compact making storage and portability a major positive consideration. I bought this item for my 84 y.o. mother for her emergency respone kit (which everyone should have as part of their Homeland Defense supplies). Just the week before this purchase a major water line burst denying the entire community water for several days. Didn't need it this time, but who knows about the next emergency? Sure, the money spent could have purchased several cases of bottled water, but try lugging that water around if you need to move--impossible for the elderly. We feel much safer now knowing that water can be obtained and purified from almost any source. Pricey, yes, but worth it considering the alternatives. No, I do not work for or own stock in Katadyn. :-)
