In the last post we talked about Stefani Water Purifiers. While researching their site, I came across one of their other products: a water bottle with an integrated water purifier!

This is Stefani’s Filter Bottle, and is one of those products that begs the question, why didn’t someone think of this sooner?!

The Filter bottle is an 18oz water bottle with a Stefani water purifier right inside. You can fill it up anywhere and get the same filtered water as you would from your jug at home.

The bottle is filled from the bottom, with a screw-cap, and it starts filtering as soon as you squeeze the bottle. A large pre-filter prevents any larger materials from ever entering the bottle and clogging up the purification system.

The purifying filters will last to produce about 100 gallons of water, and is the best alternative to bottled water I’ve seen so far. This filter bottle eliminates the need for bottled water entirely, and even has some additional benefits.

Besides saving the environment from millions of plastic bottles, the filter bottle allows you to re-fill your bottle like a standard water bottle, but also gives you the pure filtered water of your home water purifyer. It’s portable like bottled water, but since you can re-fill it, there’s no need to carry 2 or 3 around on a hot day.

Saving the environment was never so convenient.

You can get the filter bottle for only $34 from Stefani.

Bottled water is everywhere right now, and I have to admit it’s convenient. Unfortunately, it’s terrible on the environment. All that plastic, all those shipping and transport trucks, just for something that comes right out of your tap.

Well if you’re not a fan of straight tap water, have a look at water purifiers. They’ll give you the same great tasting water like the bottled kind, but are a lot cheaper, and a lot more green.

Stefani Water Purifiers are a great, natural way to purify water. They use “natural gravity feed water purification”, which is basically just running the water through several filters and purifiers. The filters are “silver coated dechlorinating/sterilizing ceramic filters”, and contain activated charcoal.

Activated charcoal helps remove things like chlorine, bacteria, lead, viruses, fungus, and whole lot more. The company claims their filters will remove a whole bunch of common contaminents, check out the list:

99.9% Bacteria
99.9% Amoeba
99.7% Copper
99.6% Lead
98.5% Chlorine
99.4% Iron
99.4% Zinc
97.0% Bromoform
95.0% Dichlorobromomethane
94.5% Aluminum
93.0% Chloroform
93.0% Dibromochloromethane
92.0% Dieldrine
87.0% Lindane

While I’m not sure what half of those are, I’m glad things like chloroform and dichlorobromomethane are going to be removed from my water.

The most important message here is to cut back on bottled water. Get yourself a water bottle and a water purifier.
