Sports reviews of Corn-based Water Bottle with Built-in Filter
Customer Review: Surprisingly good
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My family's been using them for several months and we like them quite a bit. They last about six weeks and then usually spring a leak, but the filter can still be used on another bottle for awhile if you wish. One note -- squeeze water through the filter to get rid of the carbon dust before the first time you use it.
Pros: I've been very pleased by how the water tastes. Our municipal water is pretty hard and chlorine-treated, but I think it tastes as good or better than purified alone when you use this bottle. Purified water tastes kind of flat next to it. It's great for places where you'll be near a drinking fountain, but don't like the taste of the water straight.
Cons: One bottle doesn't hold very much, so you're refilling it a lot. A bigger bottle would be nice. I live in the southwest and have to remember to not leave it in the car and end up with an $8 lump. Also, it's more work getting water out of it because of the filter, but that's really not much of a problem. The suction is a little noisy so don't plan to use it at a symphony concert.
I have read that the composting claims are a little stretched, since it takes a commercial composting setup to make it work (sustained high temperature), but that it is less polluting to produce these bottles, so I think the environmental scale leans toward the positive. (There's a Smithsonian article about it for more detail.) In our case, just the water saved by not drinking as much reverse osmosis water (which wastes a huge amount of water during production) seems good to me.
There's a lot in the news about the possibility of danger from Nalgene polycarbonate bottles. I haven't been able to find anything about whether chemicals can leach into your water from this bottle (just because it's corn-based doesn't mean it's not toxic), but it's sort of a water-on-demand system so water spends far less time in contact with the bottle this way. If you drink delivered bottled water, what you drink has often been in plastic for a week if not more. If you buy store-bought, that might be months.
All in all, an interesting solution both for the corn-based material and the in-bottle filter. Well worth a try if you're hooked on bottled water.
