H2O4K9, Stainless Steel K9 Water Bottle (25-Ounce)

This is a great water bottle for dogs... easy for them to lap up water and for you to pour it back in to save for later. It seals securely and looks sharp.

Nice metal bottle, the cap seems sturdy and the clip that comes with this bottle is great. My dog seems to like to use it too.

Buy H2O4K9, Stainless Steel K9 Water Bottle (25-Ounce) Now

I bought both this 25oz bottle and the smaller 8oz bottle by H2O4K9. I bought the 25oz and decided this was too much water to carry on short walks so I ordered the 8oz version. This 25oz version would be useful on hikes and long trips. The cap provides an extended lip to pour water for your dog. I like the carabiner on this 25oz version better than the inverted loop design on the smaller 8oz version.

Speedfil Standard Aero Bottle (40oz) Save 13% off

I''m not sure what the previous reviewer was looking for, the seat post mounting kit is sold separately. The zip ties are for the tubing, not for mounting the product on the bike. I received everything in the picture and the installation was really easy. Word of caution, measure the length of your tube, then add a couple inches, you can always cut it shorter after you ride with it a couple times. My only frustration with this product is how difficult it is to remove the bottle, but on the other hand, you are sure that it is securely in place and won''t come out when you are riding. I bought this because I don''t like fiddling with bottles while I''m riding and don''t like to wait for lights to hydrate. I have a Fuji CCR1 XS frame and this fits with room to spare. Oh and another word of caution, don''t mix powders in the bottle. Premix them and then pour them in. Mixing them in the bottle can lead to clogs in the tubing if the powder isn''t completely dissolved before you head out for your ride. (The tube pulls from the bottom of the bottle where the powder settles.) Love this product!!!!

UPDATE: May 29, 2012

Still love this product but have encountered one issue. It''s a pain to remove the bottle. There has to be a better way to design this part of the product. If you you leave fluids in the bottle for any period of time, expect to see mold. I know, this is not a revelation, it happens with all bottles. I left some Hammer product in it and forgot about it. A week later it was awfully nasty. I bought a box of those tabs for cleaning dentures, and dropped about 12 in the bottle full of water. I let it soak over night and it was perfect the next morning. (Be sure to really rinse the bottle after the denture tabs though.) If the bottle wasn''t such a pain to remove, I would never have left the Hammer in there and never would have had the issue with mold. I wouldn''t go back to regular bottles though, this is still my favorite hydration system for my bike. :)

Not sure why the other buy had issue, in my case all parts were received. The seat tube adapter is a separate component you must purchase if needed, ie no holes on the downbar.

When you look at the directions regarding installation, one thinks that the product has been tampered with or parts have been replaced with cheaper substitutes and the price difference pocketed. Completely missing from the package is the seat post bracket and rubber grommet, and the rubber spline and bumper. In addition, the velcro strips have been replaced with cheap zip ties. This may not be much of a problem if your bike has mounting screws on the down tube. However, on many aero/TT/Tri bikes the assumed target for this product the only bottle cage screws available are on the seat post tube and not the down tube. Which means you may have just dropped $100 for this hydration system, and have to purchase and ship additional hardware to get this mounted with any semblence of stability. Really not thrilled about ruining the finish on a TT/tri bike, some of which cost as much as a motorcycle, with plastic zip ties.

For $100, one would expect a bit more attention to detail. The basic design itself is certainly reasonable, but the missing/substitute parts demonstrate poor execution.

Sawyer Personal Water Bottle Filter 1 Liter Save 26% off

The Sawyer 140 doesn''t leak when the straw is closed off, holds about a liter of water, and filters everything except viruses.

The suction required to drink water isn''t too excessive, and it can be squirted out into another bottle or cup (for say brushing teeth), although I found it harder to do than the guy in the Sawyer video.

The Amazon version has 3 straws and a hand plunger for back washing the filter.

The Limited Edition Water.org CamelBak Groove Water Bottle (Blue) by comparison supports a worthy cause

but I found that it does very little except for removing chemical taste if you read the fine print

on the web site.

The Sawyer SP140 bottle filters everything you would encounter in the US/Europe except for chemicals, read the

fine print on the website. I would not fill it from a waterhole in Africa, but would fill it from an

African city or lodge water supply claiming to be potable water. If there has been flooding you can always use a Katadyn tablet if you want to be absolutely virus free, when doing this I suggest removing the filter and adding a Nalgene wide mouth cap for the 4 hr treatment period. (Avoid iodine due to potential thyroid problems).

This Sawyer water bottle works great for a canoe trip. My buddy told me about it so I bought one and used it every day on a three day float trip in the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas. Just open this thing up, scoop it full of water from the river and drink away! River water can be a little warm but toss it in the cooler for a few minutes and you''re drinking cold clean water in no time. No tablets, no pumping, just fill and drink. This thing has a hollow fiber membrane inside that works really well. You have to suck on the straw but no more than you would on a Camelback. You can also use it in camp to fill a camelback or jug with filtered water. Cheap, simple, easy, every camper or backpacker should have one of these.

Buy Sawyer Personal Water Bottle Filter 1 Liter Now

This has become part of my camping/emergency preparedness equipment. The other review stated that the bottle didn''t come with a syringe for back-flushing the filter. This is incorrect. The bottle he bought from Wal-Mart may not have had a syringe, but this product as advertised on Amazon did come with it as well as replacement straws. The picture above doesn''t show a syringe, but it is in the description. Everything fit together fine and I anticipate getting a lot of use out of the bottle/filter.

Really enjoying this product. I take it everywhere, work, stores, woods and never have to wonder about water quality.The only thing that would make it better would be an inline carbon filter for improving the taste of some water sources.

Want Sawyer Personal Water Bottle Filter 1 Liter Discount?

In any situation, you must have a safe source of drinking water. I purchased the Sawyer Personal Water Bottle to supplement my other Sawyer water purification product and my Berkey water purification system. The Sawyer bottle is very good. It comes with the filter, bottle, three (3) straws for use in sucking the water out of the bottle through the filter, and a syringe to backflow the filter if solid particles slow down the flow. Rated for over a million gallons of water, this filter should last me a very long time! I fill the Sawyer bottle with water filtered through the Berkey filter in my kitchen (I know possibly overkill but I want the purest water I can drink). The bottle does the job perfectly and I can carry it in a backpack when hiking in order to filter any stream or pond water I might have to use in case I run out of water I''m carrying. This is a definite purchase for everyone, whether you just want a water bottle to keep in the refrigerator, take on a run or hike, or use in your "bug out bag."

Decent cage for frame mounting. Seems to fit some water bottles a little better then others. I was unable to get it to work on my xlab turbo wing but that wasn''t the purpose to start with. Overall a nice light weight cage.

Ibera Cell Phone Handlebar Bag with Bottle Cage Mount Save 24% off

It''s well made and mounts securely to the handle bars. My Verizon LG fits perfectly into the cell phone pouch, but a smart phone would not fit. The issue I have is with the way the pack attaches to the handle bar mount. I don''t know who''s 12 year-old kid designed this but when you pull the pack up to disconnect it, the pack actually runs over the thumb you''re using to press the release lever. Also, instead of putting the spring loaded clip on the back of the pack, which could be attached to the waistband of your bicycle shorts if you go into a store, it has a plastic bracket which is intended as a belt loop. This doesn''t seem to make any sense because you don''t usually wear a belt with bicycle shorts. A spring loaded clip would have been much more useful for any pair of shorts or pants.

My wife has a bike that has an irregular frame, thus making it near impossible to mount a water bottle. This little gadget was just what the doctor ordered! It fits nicely on her handlebars and allows her to have a water bottle and her cell phone within easy reach. Easy to install as well. No complaints, other than the price being a little higher than I would have liked.

Ortho 0165210 Malathion Plus Insect Spray Concentrate (32 oz.) Save 14% off

yes, yes, the foul, disgusting bureaucrats of the EPA say that i will get horrible, painful skin-sloughing CANCER after using this "off label indoors." But I''ve slept like a baby since the little blood-sucking bedbugs met their untimely demise. Totally worth whatever cancer will kill me in 50 years of sweet, sweet slumber. Just dilute the stuff & go once around the base-boards. BOOM. Game over, blood-suckers.

A little goes a long way. Very cost effective.

I try to avoid the Malathion, favoring the pyrethrins, but Malathion kills the mosquitos and horseflies.

The biting bug population stayed down for several weeks.

I do spray about 30 minutes after sunset. My goal is to avoid harm to bees and dragonflies.

My population of dragonflies and bees seemed unchanged with this technique.

Hope they were not affected.

But the mosquitoes and biting flies from the surrounding flood irrigated fields can''t be controlled with other methods.

Use this after other methods have failed.

Some reviewers have suggested using malathion inside your home for bedbugs. Don''t do it. Malathion is wickedly toxic stuff and if you don''t know exactly what you''re doing, you can seriously hurt yourself by spraying it around inside your house. Propoxur is far less toxic than malathion is and it''s even more effective on bedbugs (Malathion has little residual effect and bedbugs have already begun to acquire some resistance to it; this is not true of propoxur.) If you have a stubborn bedbug infestation, you''d be much better off using propoxur. Check out my review of INVADER HPX AEROSOL to learn more.

H2gO Portable Alkaline Water Purifier Save 19% off

This is a 20 oz water bottle that not only purifies your water, it makes is alkaline. I have a water ionizer machine at home, but sometimes I go to a place where I can''t possibly pack enough water (gym, combat zone, camping trip). This thing is awesome to have around. I simply fill it up and let it filter, then I have purified and ionized water wherever I''m at no matter how bad the water source is. If you use alkaline water already, you''ll know that you can''t go back to municiple tap water. This is the fix to make sure you never have to. It is also a way for people who aren''t sure if they want to buy a fancy $3,000 water ionizer to see if they like the benefits before making a large investment.

I received my Tyent H2Go unit 4/16. It was well packaged and in perfect condition when opened. I cleaned the unit then assembled and poured refrigerator-filtered water in the top. At first the top started to leak water out until I pushed the top cup further down into the filter base. Then NO LEAKING. The water filtered fairly quickly. I tested the before water-pH of 7 which was neutral. I then tested the H2Go filtered water-pH of 10 alkaline. The taste was great and gentle on the esophagus/stomach. I am extremely happy with this small low cost unit and plan to use it instead of purchasing the $2K unit. Thanks for a great product Tyent!

I have never been much of a water drinker, always adding something to it to get my 8 glasses a day. This water filter has turned my attitude around. Even if I hadn''t read about health benefits of alkaline water, I would use this anyway because it produces the most wonderful water I have had in my 59 years of life. I don''t add anything to it, just drink it straight. Be forewarned, it spoils you for regular water. I fill it up and let it filter in the refrigerator. I can take it to work, or anywhere. I won''t be traveling without it. I can''t find anywhere that it says how to get replacement filters, but I figure it is saving me money on juice or soda. I tested my water before and after, and it definitely does what it says. They include the testing drops with the filter. Enjoy! Where has this been all my life?

After reading a lot of all the supposed benefits of alkaline water I broke down and bought the H2gO Portable Alkaline Water Purifier to see what the effects would really be for me. After cleaning the housing, soaking the filter and dumping the first couple of times to remove the loose filter material, I tested the resulting filtered water a couple times with some pH test strips. My tap water before filtering was about a 6 on the strips and the best the filtered water reached was somewhere between 7 and 8. I had been expecting a reasonably strong 9 hence my disappointment. Additionally, this filter is very small with only about a 20 oz. capacity. It is very over priced at this size and capacity as the parts are all just plastic. Even if the filters are $20-25 a piece, this thing should only be selling for about $30. The filtered water tastes fine. The particulates went from 48 on the tap water to 54 on the filtered water so the filter is adding something as it is apparently supposed to do. All in all, I am not pleased with the filter and would not advise anyone to purchase one. It is definitely not a good bargain.

This is my first review on Amazon. This product is amazing. I''ve taken many supplements (vitamin D3, omega-3 fish oil, silica from bamboo, evening primrose oil, oregano oil, etc.) and changed my diet (eliminating dairy, red meat, sugar, soda, gluten, and nightshades) to try to heal my psoriasis. Many of those things have helped, but nothing in comparison to this water filter. Within 3-5 days I started seeing my plaques go down in size and redness. I feel more energized and clear-minded. It comes with a PH dropper to test the PH as well. I tested filtered water, tap water, and then tried both in the water filter. Filtered water from a Brita and a water machine were highly acidic (less than 7 PH), while tap water was around neutral (7 Ph), and once I put each kind through the H2gO... it turned very alkaline. The water doesn''t taste strange either, which I was originally worried about. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on a water ionizer I feel that this is a cheap solution to many people''s problems.

Sigg Lifestyle Loop Top Water Bottle (1.0-Liters)

I received two metal bottles from I ordered from Amazon. A Sigg and a Kleen Kanteen (KK).

The Sigg is 1 liter and made out of aluminum. The diameter of the bottle (3.15") is slightly too big for my car''s cup holder, but fits my fanny pack pockets. The outside has some cool purple paint (comes in different colors/designs). There''s a coating on the inside to protect the water from the aluminum; this coating is proprietary, so they won''t tell you what it is. It does say not to use the bottle for long term storage, which makes me nervous, as does the aluminum.

The KK is 27 Oz and made out of stainless steel. The diameter is too small for the car/fanny pack (rattles around), but fits nicely into a bike bottle cage. The 27 Oz is less than I prefer, but is probably OK for most purposes.

Both seem like high quality items, which they should be for $20 each. Both have loop top screw on caps (KK has other options too) with gasket seals. KK''s top is made of stainless steel on the side that touches the water, whereas the Sigg has a plastic top (nylon?). The top on the Sigg has a fine thread, which can cross thread more easily. The size of the opening on the KK is larger, which I like. Both have a smooth edge that''s easy to drink from. Both pass the turn upside down test (no leaks).

I rinsed both out with hot water several times, then put distilled water into each from my Waterwise distiller. The KK does impart a slight metallic taste, whereas I can''t detect any added taste from the Sigg. I can also smell the metal from the KK. I don''t know of any health problems from stainless steel, and in fact my distiller is made from stainless steel, so I''m not sure what to think about the added taste. It may be more of a smell than a taste from the KK, since when I pour water that has been in the KK overnight into a glass, there is very little taste difference.

If KK made a 1 liter bottle with the standard diameter (about 3 inches, like plastic bottles), deciding which to use would be a no brainer for me. With the different trade off''s, I''m not sure which I''ll end up using, but probably the KK; the aluminum and coating just seem like they have too many potential health problems over the long term. KK does make a larger 40 oz bottle, but the diameter is too big for me at 3.5 inches.

I''ve been lusting after an aluminum water bottle for quite some time, and finally got this SIGG. I am very pleased, so far. It comes to work with me every day. True to the descriptions, your water will taste neutral after being in this bottle. I have not tried storing any other liquid in it, however, and so cannot testify to its taste properties with juice or anything other than good old dihydrogen monoxide. I would recommend this bottle to anybody, however don''t go bashing it around like you can with a Lexan bottle. Aluminum can dent fairly easily, but that''s the price you pay for lightweight. SIGG Switzerland rocks!

I thought I had finally found the perfect water bottle. It was made of a non-leaching material, it came in a larger size than the average water bottle, and the design was stylish. Unfortunately, it has not lived up to my expectations. Be sure to screw the cap on VERY TIGHTLY or you will have water all over your gym bag or car seat. Also, keep a firm grip on it at all times since it can not handle a fall to the floor without sustaining considerable damage. I dropped the bottle once and it is now dented on the bottom. The impact made the bottom pop out so now it wobbles on my desk. This is not a cheap product so I expected more from itespecially since I have only owned it for about three weeks!

I hesitated before buying this water bottle because it''s so much more expensive than others out there. But I do think that it''s worth every penny.

Love my bottle, use it all the time; it is a really beautiful object. Bought the kids some too, don''t know if that wil have turned out to be a good idea, still better than them drinking out of plastic.

Two caveats:

1) Not dishwasher safe and Hard to figure out how to clean (I just purchased Sigg''s specially designed brush--hope it helps)

2) Not terribly scratch and dent-proof.
