3 Water Bottles with Built-in Filters
From our friends at Woman's Day
You’ve heard it before: Ditch the plastic water bottles for a reusable version. But with so many options out there it can be hard to choose. We did some research and came up with three dependable—and good looking—favorites, which are all BPA-free and contain built-in filters, which means that you can have drinkable tap water on hand anywhere you go!
Hydros
Twist off the cap and let water stream through the filter of this 24-oz bottle that contains a natural bacteria-killing product (replace the filter every three months or after 150 uses). $29.99; Hydros Bottle
Camelbak Groove
This bottle has a filter built right into the straw. It’s reusable and drip-proof, thanks to the big bite valve. $25; CamelBak

The amount of water depends upon the workout I have for that day, but ALWAYS a minimum of eight 8 oz glasses per day. Ususally, around 10 to 12 glasses a day. - 3/3/2011 12:18:13 PM
The bottles are BPA free and made in the USA.
I like that hydros bottle, the water at work is pretty disgusting tasting, so I may have to get one of those for work. Also liked that it is BPA free and made in the USA. - 3/2/2011 3:56:31 PM
We have 6 or 7 stainless steel of various sizes.
No chemicals from plastics, no recyables.
No waste.
We invested in a large bench top water filter and now we just drink from glasses or fill & go.
This review is blatent advertising for consumer waste. - 3/1/2011 5:44:54 AM
Several years ago, we invested in a water cooler from Lowes. The 5 gallon bottles are $6.50 (new with exchange) or we can refill ours for $.35/gallon, $1.75 for 5 gallons. We use glasses or refillable bottles.

Only issue, maybe it's just mine, but the suction, I have to really suck, and starts to make the bottle collapse a bit. Maybe I'm still used to my nalgene - 2/28/2011 11:27:52 PM
One view says,
yes there is long term leaching of contaminants from bottles when you first buy them, i.e. water has been in the bottle from new and over a longish period of time (more than a couple of days at least).
But if the problem is leaching from plastic as it ages, then this would be the time in which it is least likely to pick it up as it will probably leach the least new.
Even though it will be in the bottle for the longest time as apposed to refills after the retailers water is consumed.
However as the bottle ages and leaching starts to increase due to the plastic degradation. The duration in which water stays in the bottle will be relatively very short if it is simply filled (possible cooled in fridge) and then consumed within a day or so.
Even if leaching is consistent over time then there is no grace period at the start and the retailers water would have to be the most effected due to leaching O:
However the other view says, (apart from the first drink when opened) no matter how long or short the water is stored in a bottle, if you drink all the water that goes through the bottle you consume all the leached chemicals.
In summation, if you must drink from a bottle that leaches chemical, don't drink water that's been stored in it for long duration, and one or two short term refills wont kill you, but don't make a habit of it. - 2/28/2011 8:31:09 PM
of it. I do recycle so hopefully that heps. I drink a lot of water on my workout days...64 oz.
Or more. - 2/28/2011 6:14:31 PM
