Hydropal Filter Water Bottle: For Better Tasting Water

As we rush out for the day, we grab our water bottle from the fridge filled with cold filtered tap water. We drink it pretty quickly going about our errands, so soon it's time to refill. We fill it from the nearest tap and take a sip. Ugh! New York may be well known for the taste of their tap water, but in Los Angeles, unfiltered tap water tastes like liquid mud. This is the moment when buying a bottle of water becomes tempting. There is another option.

Using activated carbon (carbon which has been treated to make it extremely porous), the Hydropal Filter Water Bottle sifts out chemicals and solids—from VOCs to pesticides and herbicides—leaving water that tastes as fresh as the filtered stuff in your own home. A no-spill sipper top makes it easy to have your water on the go; a self sealing valve give you instant fast flow with no contact. Just point and squeeze. It's perfect for a long run with your pet, who might need a bit of water to keep going just as you do.

ahhh this is a great idea. i take a water bottle with me on all my trips and fill up from the drinking fountain in airports, and the water from the fountains is notoriously gross-tasting. this will definitely help!

Sounds like this. Which is arguably a better product. And from the US. Not to say that this isn't a good enough idea for two producers.

Brita used to make a bottle like this- is it still around?

hey, i've seriously travelled all over the world and I've used the Hydropal many times and it lasts longer than the Brita ones and the Hydropal filters are easy to replace, 250 refills apparently. The Brita bottles you have to buy the whole new thing every time. I bought a Hydropal in the UK about a year and a bit ago and it's still working brilliant! A definite value for money buy.

Oh yeah, the Brita only does 80 refills compared to 250 for the other one.
