bobble Filtered Water Bottle Green PACKAGE 050BOBGR

bobble Filtered Water Bottle Green PACKAGE 050BOBGRThis product has been a very smart choice for me. I just bought it on July 17, 2010 from the Container Store. It was 9.99 and 10.81 after tax. The best things about this bottle: water tastes clean, no plastic taste, made in USA, squeezable, clear so you can see how much water you have left, I don''t have to buy anymore bottled water, filter can be used for 2 months or 40 gallons. It is cute shape and style and the blue is a nice color. The water tastes even better when cold! I just feel like I am making a healthy choice!

I''m really liking that I don''t have to buy bottled water and that this bottle will pay for it self basically. I can use this for 2 months and drink unlimited amounts of water while saving my money, my back, and the environment. Buying bottled water as a college student gets rough especially carrying it from the parking lot to the apartment. I only wish I had this freshman year. Also the filters are 6.95 and they come in green, black, blue, fuchsia, red, and yellow. The filter is connected to the spout so when the filter gets old you can get a brand new color.

Don''t: The package says don''t use where water is micro-biologically unsafe. This is only meant for tap/municipal water.

Do: For first time use: fill the bottle with water and squeeze all the water through the filter to get out the carbon dust from the filter. You can drink right after that but if you want to feel safer you can boil filter(haven''t tried it yet), or wash with hot soapy water (I have tried this). Just make sure the soap is out before you drink and it washes well.

Pros: Its well worth the money, it works (you can definitely taste the difference), and is environmentally friendly. It looks nice and you''ll probably get complements saying your water bottle looks awesome. Also the filter has to be changed every 2 months which is very nice and the filter comes in a lot of available colors if you ever get bored of looking at the color you have and it''s time to change. It holds a little more than half a liter of water which is good enough for me. It also saves you money if you are a frequent water drinker like me who didn''t want to go buy water bottles every week (I''m in college and rather skeptical of the college water fountain and sink... )

Cons: It makes a weird sound when you drink it because of the filter( like when you''re chugging on a water bottle and you can hear all the water and plastic inside going crazy). But, it''s not that bad because it just seems like you''re really thirsty. I asked my friends if they heard anything weird whenever i drank from it and they just said isn''t that how all of them sound. However, definitely don''t drink from the bottle in a library or something because everyone will hear the sound, stare, and it will be distracting them. Another word of caution is to be gentle when cleaning it because the plastic on the bottle scratches easily, and if you squeeze it too tight like a normal water bottle than the plastic might deform a little and your bobble might look a little funny.

Overall, the bobble is a very good product that is great for the money for those who are wary of tap water or don''t like the taste of tap water too much.

This water bottle is great! It''s such a good feeling to know that I''m drinking filtered water, out of a bottle that won''t go in the trash and move on to a landfill to sit and rot forever. The bottle is somewhat flexible, you can squeeze the water out if you need to, or if you can''t get a good ''suction'' out of the nozzle. The filter seems to be holding up very well (washing it consists of boiling it in water to clean it). The only reason I didn''t give this product a 5-star review is because the nozzle plastic has a wierd beach-ball taste. If they could make it out of some material that doesn''t have a plastic taste, this would get 5-stars for sure.

This is a very great thing to have. I am now saving so much on bottled water. The tap water at my house is so chlorinated that you can not only taste it, but smell it when you tilt a glass back to drink. I also fill it up constantly at work.

The only 2 reasons that I didn''t give it 5 stars is because I wish it would come in a larger size for the sake of going to the gym, (It would be nice if it held at least 1 liter); and because the size and shape kind of makes it look like you are holding a baby bottle. Many people have commented about that.

However, it is still definitely worth it, especially if you tend to buy bottled water all the time. This will save you some money and help save the environment.

This is a great bottle for my work environment. They have no purified water so I use the water out of the drinking fountain. The water straight out of the fountain tastes like metal. It is pretty gross. Through the bottle it tastes great. EXCELLENT BUY!!!!

Silicone-Sleeve Glass Water Bottle

Silicone-Sleeve Glass Water BottleI own this bottle in red. Love it. It does not keep water cold or hot but it does not make your surface wet because of the sleeve. I am not a big water drinker but if I have this bottle filled next to me at work I will drink it.

humangear capCap

Humangear capCap - Green/GrayEvery once in a while, I''ll make a purchase that turns out to be so useful and convenient, that I''ll wonder how I ever got along without it. It does not perform any complex functions, but it''s beautiful in its simple functionality.

The spout forms perfectly to your lips due to a little concave ring around the middle of it

The top is slightly rubberized for excellent grip (plus it''s green, which is cool)

The strap is sturdy and comfortable to hold

The top cap twists on and off in one full rotation

That''s about it. It doesn''t need to do anything else, and it doesn''t try. It''s the perfect solution for the narrow/wide mouth water bottle dilemma.

Great cap that delivers as advertised. It''s easy to open and close due to the rubber coated cap and the smaller opening makes it a lot easier to drink from a large Nalgene without spilling water all over myself, yet you can remove the whole thing to clean out the bottle. Much better than the cheap inserts that fit into the throat of a Nalgene bottle (and always fall out).

Buy humangear capCap Now

This is a very well conceived bottle cap: simple, nice and extremely functional, vastly superior to the original one that comes with the Nalgene wide mouth bottles.

(I am reviewing a "second generation" cap; the first one had a leaking problem with some bottles, as stated at Human Gear''s web site to their credit they offer a free replacement to anyone who had purchased the leaky one).

Alas, I hate to say that they have one great drawback: it absorbs the taste and smell of some beverages.

It is very well thought off, the designer(s) must be proud of their creation; it is not cheapie; but the material it was made of is inadequate for its use.

Okay, so here is the scoop. I bought this for my new Nalgene bottle and when I received it and used it, it did EXACTLY was is was supposed to and was made well and looks great. Now, here is where it gets interesting. The black retaining strap was split along the thin part so I emailed a picture of the split to HumanGear with an explanation of what I found on my new CapCap. This is where HumanGear redeemed themselves and gained a customer for LIFE!!!! So, they responded very quickly apologizing for the split in the retaining ring and ensured their products are built for everyday use and it must have been a defect. So they promptly shipped me a new retaining ring. I could have easily sent it back to Amazon for replacement but why when 90% of the cap was fine. So when I received my replacement today not only did they send me TWO new straps to have an extra spare, they threw in one of their GoToobs travel tube for Lotions, Shampoo, etc. Really cool product. Also attached was a hand written note from the person I had emailed about my issue with another apology. I am not a HumanGear customer for life! This is how you handle customer service in a world like we have today!

I purchased this cap with the 40oz wide mouth Klean Kanteen bottle for my husband for work. He needed a wide mouth bottle for cleaning but a narrow mouth for drinking. He hates sport spouts as he feels he doesn''t get enough water when drinking. So...we opted for this cap. Here is one tip to prevent leaking. Apply the base cap to the bottle with the top cap off. After securing the base cap, then tighten the upper cap. After learning this, my husband discovered the bottle won''t leak anymore.

Rum Runner Smuggler''s Revenge Kit

Rum Runner Smuggler''s Revenge KitI purchased these prior to going on a 4-day cruise. Let me tell you, this was the best $30 I have spent in a long time! We filled the bags up according to directions (only 3/4 full) and packed the bags in our CHECKED luggage. We were able to get just about 4 5th''s on. When we arrived to our room, there our luggage was, with NO issues! Others on the boat had their luggage searched, not ours! This amount was PLENTY for three people. I recommend these to any one going on a cruise who wants to save $$$

These things are AWESOME! Not only was I the only one to successfully sneak my booze onto the Carnival Cruise ship, I was even able to sneak anything that was left over off the ship as well. They may not be invisible to x-Ray machines, but they sure don''t raise any alarms causing the tech to pull the bag for closer inspection. I even used the smallest of the bags for a pocket carry-on of some Vodka so I could mix my own drinks while waiting for the stewards to prepare our cabin. A real money saver! The group of people I went with tried the old vodka in the water bottles trick (even with glued on caps). They all got confiscated. Including the people that put booze in other bottles. All found, all confiscated except my Rum Runner flasks. At first they all laughed at my crazy little plastic bags, but now they are all going to order them for the next cruise. These things do stand on their own when they have liquids in them. The caps stay on nice and tight, and most of all....they do not leak. The only tricky thing is cleaning and drying them. But after sitting in a low humidity area for a couple of days, they dried out nicely and were put away for safe storage until the next trip. I recommend these to anyone that does not want to spend hundreds on watered-down cruise drinks.

Carnival 5/31 sailing....checked in early in a day. I had 3 8 oz and the 32oz and Shampbooze sold here on Amazon. Ciroc in the Rum Runners and Pomegrante Martini mix in the Sahmpbooze. All in the same bag. Also to avoid being asked to clear your pockets, put the runners in your shorts and put a dress on over it that covers the fact that you have on shorts.

I bought these to increase my odds of getting booze on the Carnival Dream 7-day cruise departing from Cape Canaveral on 5/26/12. We were cruising with 12 people. Two of us bought this kit and we were both busted. We both filled ALL FOUR of the large 1-Liter flasks with various top-shelf liquor and put them in our large suitcases that we checked upon arriving at port. We hid the flasks under clothes AND toiletry bags in each suitcase. When my buddy''s bag arrived at his room all four flasks were gone and a letter indicated they had found "prohibited items". Carnival disposed of the flasks and booze. Since I had put a lock on my bag I received a notice at my room indicating that security had my bag and needed me to unlock it for inspection due to prohibited items being seen during initial inspection. When I went down to security and opened the bag after a few minutes of digging they found the 4 flasks and took it all for "disposal".

I''m not saying don''t buy these and don''t use them but we were not successful. The weird thing was that 8 other people cruising in our group used other containers for booze (water bottles and original liquor bottles) and put them into checked luggage and successfully got it all on the boat. The one exception was a girl in my room who had two 1-liter smart water bottles that were taken. BUT she also had a 1.75L bottle of rum still in the original bottle in the other side of her suitcase that they missed. She opened her bag in her room and found the rum still there but the smart water bottles were taken. That was weird. We decided they just missed the big bottle...

As far as we could tell the only difference among the people that got the booze on successfully and those that didn''t seemed to be the amount they tried to smuggle and the time that they arrived at port to check their bags. Everyone that got busted had 4 liters of booze and checked the bag early in the day (3 hours before departure). Everyone that succeeded packed no more than 2 liters and most of them checked the bag within an hour of departure. If I cruise again I''ll only try 2 liters and try to check my bag just before the boat is scheduled to leave port.

After all this we still had a great time. We also discovered that getting booze on after a day at port was easier than smuggling it in checked bags. Think camelbacks ;)

I just got back from a seven day cruise for spring break. First cruise ever. I bought several flasks because I knew what our alcohol bill would be if I didn''t find a way to get some on the ship. I was nervous as hell!!!! BUT I took on several flasks, worked like a charm!!! Never an issue. I had them in four different bags, several in each, got through without any problem. My alcohol bill was still very high but this helped lol we partied!!!! So some may say we ripped the cruise off, whatever!!! We still spent around 2k on alcohol, so I dont think we ripped anybody off!!

The FIRM 750ml Aluminum Water Bottle (Tapestry)

The FIRM 750ml Aluminum Water BottleThis is best for going running, walking, or something where you''re going to actually carry it. It''s very lightweight. The best thing about it is the cap on the top you won''t accidentally poke or scratch yourself or someone else.

The bottle is great, its worth the price, and its green. I like the other tops better personally, but if you are doing something with sports this would be good, because you can have the sports top.

Klean Kanteen Sport Cap 2.0 Replacement Cap - 3 Packwhen you drink from it it tweets like a baby bird and makes my wife and I laugh

The sport caps 2.0 and 3.0 both leak when closed and squeak when you drink from them. The vent valve acts like a reed and chirps like a bird. No good at work or class. Made in China too! This is the best available bottle? Wow.

I bought these for our Klean Kanteen water bottles and there seems to be some sort of manufacturing error. It leaks if the bottle is laid on its side, and when you drink from the sport cap, it makes this annoying squeaking sound as the water moves through it. Keeping it ''cause I need it, but wouldn''t purchase it again.

I do like this cap better than the one I had to unscrew in order to get a drink but the chirping noise might drive me nuts. But it is the lesser of 2 evils so I will continue to use it!

MLB New York Yankees 26-Ounce Baseball Bat Stainless Steel Water Bottle

MLB New York Yankees 26-Ounce Baseball Bat Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Pop-up SpoutI purchased this bottle for my 10 year old son, who of course is a huge Braves Fan. Love the bottle... it''s very large and quite durable. The mouth part is a bit large and does not have any kind of spout on it. All in all, still a great bottle to carry around, take on trips, etc...

Nathan Trail Mix Save 33% off

Nathan Sports Trail Hydration Pack with Two 10-Ounce Nutrition FlasksI have used this for several long runs now (+15 miles)

Before, I have used a Mountain Smith waist pack, but it was clumsy and akward. It was made more for the camper/hiker not for the runner

The Nathan Trail mix as minimal bounce and stays put when worn low on my waist. It has a thiner profile, compared to the MS waist pack.

The bottle nozzles are a soft rubber-y material, and are comfortable to operate by mouth.

The bottles have never fallen out. The zippered pocket holds my 6oz flask of energy gel plus a power bar (small size).

Mesh pocket holds a blinkie-light (my long runs start in the dark) and 1/2 of an additional power bar.

I love the 2 bungie cords on the sides (genious). One side holds my ipod (very secure when encased in a zip-lock baggie). The other side holds a hankerchief (or could hold gloves or arm-warmers or extra socks).

I think the two 10oz flasks provide enough water for running up to 3 hours. I have ran out of water before when going over 3 hours. So a runner should plan on refilling them at a water fountain or water station(when racing).

I very glad i took my time in reviewing many hydration belts. I''m confident i choose the best for my needs.

one note: on my first run with it, while reaching in the zippered pocket, I hit the bottle nozzle with the buttons on my watch and it stopped my timer. So, be aware of that.

I''m training for a marathon, and this is my 3rd attempt at a hydration belt. I have tried others, inluding the Nathan triangle-shaped single bottle belt. This belt has the perfect-sized pocket for storing my cell phone, keys, and iPod. It doesn''t bounce uncomfortably, and the bottles are easy to take out and put back in. Highly recommend it!

This is a really good product, but beware....I have a 32" waist and I have the belt fully extended...still snug! Also, the water bottle tops need to be pushed in VERY TIGHTLY or you will be soaked. The pocket is just the right size. I like the product a lot; I''m just not sure that anyone with a bigger waist will find it comfortable.

This product is great. I run about 5-10 miles a day and its a perfect amount of water for me. Might get the 4 bottle belt for the summer months though. People complain about needing to tighten the tops very tight or they will leak... Well, I always put a little plumbers tape around the top of all my bottles and I have never had a problem. So, try the plummers tape and try this belt.

I own two hydration belts, and one handheld bottle all are nathan products. This belt is my favorite, I have had it for several years. I wear it on long runs, and during both full and half marathons. The only problem I have had is the need to grease the zipper. I think I have worn it SOO much and in rain alot, so the zipper starts to lock up from time to time. I have friends that have the same belt that velcros closed no thanks their belts slip and slide, this one you can sinch and it stays put. There is also enough room in the pocket for TP, and three or four gels/snacks, and the outside stretchy pocket holds a tube or two of chapstick. The little bungees on the side I use to hold gloves if i take them off, or gels. Love this belt. Side note I do wear it on my true waist, not on my hips. Happy running!

2 oz Drop Bottle

Nalgene Drop Dispenser: 2oz; ClearI have been looking for a dropper bottle that wouldn''t leak when I''m travelling. This bottle does a good job with a tight cap. I opened out the inside restriction to allow for a little more flow using a 1/16 inch drill bit.

Not much to it, works well and seems well made. If you need a dropper bottle, I''d buy this one again.

Schwinn Protocol 1.0 Men''s Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Save 25% off

Schwinn Protocol 1.0 Men''s Dual-Suspension Mountain BikeI bought this bike because it has great qualities for cheap. I knew that for the price that there had to be some things wrong with it, but I wanted the important features to be good. This is a very sturdy bike and I have had a great time riding it. For the cost, there is no bike better. I paid 278 on amazon with free shipping and everything. The bike is very easy to put together. I do suggest you get it tuned by a professional, however, because it took me a long time to tinker with the settings to make it run smoothly. I am very happy with everything about this bike, but there are a few things that may go undescribed.

1-The wheels are of very poor quality. The rubber seems really fake and if you are on concrete they skid out easily and leave a lot of rubber behind.

2-There is no place to put a water bottle holder or a hand pump. The rear suspension connects to the bottom bar of the frame and just under the top bar are the cables so there is no place to store a bottle or pump.

3-The front fork and suspension are difficult to adjust. (I havent been able to adjust the suspension yet)

4-Tuning involved: front and rear derailleurs, brakes, straightening the disc break, wheel adjustment.

I am giving the negatives because they are not described by anyone else and they are important to know, but I cant describe how happy I am with the bike. I am 6''0" and it fits me very well. The parts are very durable and when you get everything tuned up nicely, the bike runs just fine!

I HIGHLY suggest this bike to anyone who is looking for a deal on a mountain bike.

I bought the bike at the beginning of June 2011. These are my thoughts and may help you.

Short and simple.. an alright big box bike(idealy for someone 160#s or less), and at least it''s not a bicycle shape''d object. Schwinn is owned by a company known as Pacific cycle company, made in China. With that out of the way... It''s better than a ''mart bike.

1.) The shifters are decent, shimano entry level quality.

2.) A few things that everyone askes, what is the weight? The box it ships in weighs more than the bike, the bike IIRC weighed about 32-36#s.

3.) Front and Rear Derailluers are pretty good. Take the bike to a LBS(Local Bike Shop) for adjustments if you feel that adjusting it is over-welming. I adjusted mine, set the H/L limits shifters worked perfectly. Although I understand that adjustments are not easy for everyone, so if it seems too much LBS''s will help you get it on the road/trail.

4.) I found it to be a common review problem that the front rotor disc was warped. I own a Park Tool Rotor Truing Fork DT-2C , that you''ll need anyways (5-10bucks) pick up one from a LBS or Amazon for a little more, to true the warped rotor. This tool will save you money instead of having to buy a new rotor.

5.) The coilover (rear shock) on mine had a blown dampener, shockeye lenght is 6.5 inches BTW. I bought a aftermarket coilover for it, no more boing-gy. SR Suntour front fork is entry level and was frustrating on a uphill climb (NO Lockout) and rode pleasently otherwise, not just for looks.

6.) 26" wheels are light, and the spokes needed major tightening. Shr valves. F/R has V-brake surfaces machined on them and can be "handed-down" to your kids 26er'' if they don''t have disc brakes. Tires have a waxy coating to keep mud from sticking, that wears off the nubies as you ride. The tires are fairly aggressive too.

7.) The cassette (Rear sprocket) seems stout. I''m 240#s pulling an extra 70#s no catastrophic failure as some mentioned but YMMV.

8.) Rear swingarm has a mount for disc brake. I used the front caliper mounting bracket to mount a caliper on the the rear. You will need another rear wheel that is compatible with disc brakes.

9.) The seatpost is alloy, and 27.2mm not 25.4mm as Schwinn states. This seatpost uses a hex-key to adjust angle.

10.) 1 1/8" threadless stearer tube with typical big-box-bike headset. Lightweight stem and handlebar aswell.

11.) Seat is like a rock, but who sits on a MTB seat?

If you are not too critical on the bike, this is a great bike for a growing kid or someone looking for a entry level full suspension bike. I am happy with it, and would give 4.5 stars to this bike.

First off, I''d like to say that I never write reviews, yet I order from Amazon Prime constantly! I had to take the time to review this bike though. I was skeptical ordering a bicycle from the internet (like you might be too) but with an Amazon Prime membership, overnight shipping was $3.99, I had to jump on it. The bike arrived in perfect condition, packaged extremely well and 90% assembled! It takes more time to unpack it then get it up and running and I know nothing about bicycles other than how to ride.

What you must assemble:

Screw the Pedals on (make sure you do L on left and R on right) this was really, really easy.

Screw the handlebars on (shifters are already on it) (easy)

Put a little locking pole through the front tire (keep pushing if it''s a little tough) and place the tire on the frame.

That''s about it! It''s really easy. I recommend taking it to a bike shop for a tune-up to make sure everything is tight and the gears shift good and brakes are aligned (cost me $50).

Pro riders will criticize this as a "department store" bike but trust me, if you are a casual rider that wants to ride on the streets and some light off-road, this bike is great. The quality is great, it''s comfortable, the brakes are amazing and to top it off, it looks AWESOME!

I am a 28 year old, 200lbs, 5'' 10" male and I''m comfortable on it (though I had to order a new seat Velo Bio:Logic Bicycle Saddle the one that comes on it is a bit hard but that''s just my opinion).

Looks like the price has gone up a bit since some of the other reviewers have bought it (maybe due to demand) but it''s worth the $300 for sure. Very fun, great quality, nice looking bike. I recommend buying from Amazon, I had it the next day by noon and in 100% perfect condition!

This is a sweat bike. My only complaint is the pedals are too close to the ground. Riding on trails they hit the ground when crossing a slope. Other than that its built very well.

Want Schwinn Protocol 1.0 Men''s Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Discount?

As you can already see, I will give this bike a 3 and one half to 4 star rating. I love the dual suspension, and the front disk brake is great for super fast stops & riding down hills. I got the bike for $286 totala price you can''t beat for a bike this good. I took it off my jump and landed softly after being about 4 1/2 feet high because of the great suspension. So far, this has been my best bike (although I''ve only had three other bikes). It has also done great on drop offs. The pedals have metal spikes, which keep your feet from sliding off, but if your feet slide off and the spikes dig into your ankles, its not laughing buisness! The tires give great traction on dirt trails, and I particularly noticed that while riding up a 20% + grade. Also, the instructions make it hard to put it together wrong. And yes, I would recomend this bike to others.

Reliance Products Aqua-Pak 2.5 Gallon Rigid Water Container Save 14% off

Reliance Products Aqua-Pak 2.5 Gallon Rigid Water ContainerLike every other reviewer, I was very happy to see this container is BPA free. I don''t know why large BPA free containers are not easier to find yet but it''s especially important for a long-term storage container. Also like every other I think the ability to store the spigot inside the container is brilliant. Note that there is a sticker over the hole in the lid that goes down to the "neck" of the spigot. If you are going to store this for a while or take it camping you may want to put a piece of tape over it to keep dust / dirt / bugs out after you remove that sticker the first time you use it.

Even brand new the container is *absolutely* odorless. The sides have raised graduations / level indicators. Every half gallon is labeled (with another in between, marking quarts) as well as each liter. According to these marks the container can hold a bit more than 2.5 gallons before actually being filled.

I noticed for some reason the dimensions of this container are not anywhere in the description presently. Since this is rather important for an item you may be storing (especially if you''re buying enough for a family''s emergency water) I measured mine so I could share them.

Dimensions for a FILLED container are 9" x 12" x 7-3/4". That last 7-3/4" width includes a *slight* bulging of the large sides when full.

Please leave a comment with any questions or click Yes if helpful!

We are storing water in our basement in case of emergencies disrupting the water supply.

I bought a 5 gallon Coleman water jug and this Reliance product to test them out before purchasing more to meet our goal of a two week supply of fresh water. Both jugs are fine, but the Reliance is my preference for three reasons:

1) It is BPA-free plastic

2) The spigot stores inside the cap (in the water), which strikes me as less likely to be snapped off accidentally in storage, and, obviously, less likely to be opened and spill water

3) 2.5 gallons is a manageable weight when full for a non-athletic woman like me. I like knowing I could grab a jug of water by myself if I needed one, rather than waiting for my husband to come home and help or hurting my back lugging 40+ pounds up the narrow basement stairs.

As an aside, we will empty, clean, and replace our water containers each summer to keep it fresh. We plan to use the water in our garden each year as we replenish them for freshness.

*UPDATE* When a huge water main break in the city of Boston this summer affected our suburban community, putting our town and many others on a "boil water" order for any consumption of water and even hand-washing, we were really glad to have this stored water ready to go in the basement. We are rotating our water supply in the summer, so this was almost 12 month old stored water. It tasted fine, and our family had no ill effects from drinking it. Grabbing a few gallons from the basement was less trouble than boiling every drop of water for our family of four for 10 minutes per potful over the course of 4+ days. I''m back to add a few more jugs to the storage rack now.

We wanted BPA free, solid water containers that were big enough to hold a decent amount of water but not so much it''s hard to carry. These 2.5 gallon Aqua Paks are perfect. No leaks, easy storage, easy to use tap, and easy to carry. They seem nice and solid, we bought two so far and will likely buy another two. We use them for all of our drinking water. Our well water is safe to drink, but has a strong iron taste so we buy bulk drinking water. These are the best containers we could find.

I received this as a birthday gift and when the first 2.5 gallon aqua-pak came it leaked from the spout/spiggot. I tightened it as much as possible but still it leaked. I tried tightening it with the spiggot out, still leaked. I thought it must''ve been a fluke, how could something so basic like the cap leak? Well, it was returned and another has been received and again the same problem. Leaks from the spout. It seems this would be a basic function of this item, to retain water (duh) but it doesn''t and I really wanted to be able to use this. Especially since I will be going camping this weekend, unfortunately this won''t be coming with me. Thank goodness for Amazon''s great return policy.

The spigot / cap on the water jug are weakly constructed. If you screw the spigot in too tightly, the housing will crack and leak.

This water bottle has a great 1950''s design. Not only does it make fun of those who drink expensive bottled water but also those who insist upon expensive $25.00 "sig-type" water bottles. The cap fits on tight and it''s a good size. I did have a friend who used one exhaustively and the design did start to wear off, however.
