Livpure Filtered Water Bottle 131FF by Fit & Fresh

I like the idea of a bottle that is attractively designed that filtrates tap water, so that one can

eliminate dependence on expensive bottled water (that just adds to landfills).

Fit and Fresh has a very pretty bottle design--mine is in a periwinkle blue. The top screw-on/off part is where the replaceable filter goes. The bottom two thirds is wehre you add tap water. It feels good in the hand and is pliable, since you need to press the bottom section to push water through the filter and into the pop-in/pop-out dispenser sports-type top in order to drink.

Here''s the problem: Pressing the bottle forces air through, so you get air blowing into your mouth before the water comes out, and this is kinda uncomfortable. If you keep your lips closed on the top, it''s very uncomfortable. I keep my mouth open and squirt it into the space below my tongue in order not to get my throat air-blasted.

If they could alter the design to make the filtration more comfortable (say, let you flip the bottle over, then drink in a few seconds), this would be a great product. But the squeeze method made me have to remove the stars.

I also am concerned that the sports-pop-top is going to break off. It takes a bit of "pull" to get it to come out, and I fear it will give after a short time to that sort of yanking.

Pretty, but far from perfect. Still, I''m gonna use it at home, where the awkward aspect of drinking won''t be embarrassing.

I have both the LivPure and Bobble bottle and a ruler here in front of me while writing this review. I purchased this bottle at my local grocery store as an additional filtered water bottle and I will be returning it. Because of this, I cannot speak to the burst of air that comes before you drink that so many other reviewers have attested to, so I will refer you to other reviews on Amazon to read about this here: Fit & Fresh LivPURE Filtered Water Bottle What I *can* tell you that when the the Bobble bottle is tipped upside down first, it does not do this: Bobble BPA Free Water Bottle, 18.5 Ounce I have owned a Bobble bottle for about six months now and much prefer this product it. Here are some pros/cons of the LivPure bottle so that you can make your own determination as to whether it''s for you.

Fit&Fresh "LivPure" Water Bottle

(-) is not BPA-free (makes no claims, at least)

(-) is not Phthalate-free (makes no claims, at least)

(-) bottom of bottle is slightly rounded, not entirely flat; wobbles slightly when put on table

(-) unit too tall; when empty, it tips easily and feels lop-sided

(-) no cap for mouthpiece to keep it clean. Ew.

(-) mouthpiece not replaceable (*it is with the Bobble)

(-) inside filter doesn''t seat easily/perfectly on its own (other users have reported leaks when O-ring slips or isn''t seated properly

(-) design not curvy enough to make it easier to hold in hand (Bobble is curvier)

(-) material on lower half of unit is slippery (but so is Bobble''s)

Pros:

(+) mouthpiece is molded to fit the lips (it fits my lips, at least)

(+) mouthpiece is protected by the curved-top design, so it won''t break off easily

(+) top piece of unit has rubber grip material on outside

(+) good, slim profile for fit in cup holders/water bottle slings (~2-3/4") (*about 1/8" slimmer than Bobble)

Comparison of the material of the "LivPure" vs. Bobble:

Where the Bobble bottle plastic is more like a (much) harder version of regular water bottle you''d buy in a vending machine (like Dasani), the "LivPure" bottle is made of a molded plastic. There are actually two "seams" on the sides of the bottle, much like you would see in a cheap bottle you''d buy at Walmart or a dollar store. The plastic is the kind that has an almost shiny exterior and slighly oily finish. It is so cheaply molded that the bottom is rounded and does not sit flat on the table, a very poorly executed design.

I bought this bottle before I read the reviews and I am glad I did. I traveled through Italy for 3 months and used this bottle daily. I filled it with water from the fountains at the airports and at sinks throughout Italy with no problems. It never leaked and I had no issue with air when squeezing the bottle to drink the water. The water all tasted pure to me. I was bummed when I was rushing to catch a plane home and had filled the bottle with water and had no place to empty it, so I had to leave the bottle at security. I felt that it was one of the most important items I brought with me. No complaints.

I use this filter as a way to get the chlorine taste out of tapwater when I''m travelling. It is cheap and easy to carry and use. I rarely drink out of it because, like the other reviews say, it is awkward.

I use it in hotel rooms to filter water and pour it into the supplied glasses. I also use it to purify water for my drinking bottle that I carry around with me. I fill a bottle or two in the morning using the filter, and I''m good to go for the whole day. No need to buy water and throw away the bottles (recycling while travelling isn''t easy).
