Fit & Fresh Filtered Water Bottle

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.

This bottle makes sense if you wants to do your share in helping save our planet, albeit in a small way. Plus it saves you from having to spend your hard-earned cash in overpriced water in "recyclable" bottles. Its only drawback is size; I find it a bit bulky.
