BRITA Water Filter Bottle Light Blue (600ml) incl. 2x MicroDisc Filters - packaging may vary

Good quality

Bought this despite a number of negative reviews as I own other Brita products and have never had a bad experience.Other reviews mention leaks. Nope. The O-rings seal perfectly and when closed fully, the (rather large) lid pushes down the drinking spout to seal the cap, preventing it from leaking. No surprise liquid in the lid and no amount of turning the bottle upside-down or shaking makes this bottle leak. Maybe a drop or two on the drinking spout if shaken vigourously but not enough to prevent me using the bottle for its intended purpose.If yours leaks, return it; as it's either missing a seal or has faulty moulding.Also mentioned as a negative, is a loud "sucking" noise when drinking from the bottle. Following the instructions and immersing the filter in warm water for a minute or two before fitting and I'm not having to sip too hard to get fresh water. Certainly no loud sucking noises.I certainly wouldn't feel self-concious drinking from this in company.When pushed lightly against the neck of the bottle, the lid locks in place, so it doesn't try to swing shut onto your face when drinking. Again, not difficult to work out.Difficult to open with one hand? A thumb, pressed under the locking latch and pushed upward, pops the lid open eassily with one hand. Were it any easier, the lid might pop open unexpectedly.Difficult to fill? Unscrew the entire coloured section and fill it through the open bottle neck before screwing the entire assembly back on. Trying to fill the bottle with the filter in place is bound to result in tears.Sure, there are no English instructions supplied but just how difficult is it to follow the enclosed picotograms?Those concerned about cleaning the filter, shouldn't be filling this from puddles and streams. This is designed to filter tap water. This product isn't designed as a survival product or for use filtering sea-water.Submersing the filter in boiling water for a few minutes should be more than sufficient to clean it. Maybe mark the filter and ensure it's re-inserted the same way as when initially fitted.A one-litre bottle would be nice, along with English instructions for those who need them.Other than this, it's a nice-looking bottle with no negatives.

I normally don’t drink tap water, it’s either coffee or Pepsi max, decided to try this due to the filter and really impressed, not sure if it works or it’s just the placebo, either way for past 2 weeks I’ve had a bottle a day, so for me it’s made a difference

Only just came to review this months later and still using it till this day. Just be careful with the lid when you undo it don’t undo it with it open or use it for leverage as it will pop out and can be fiddly to get back together. The filter makes water taste cleaner or more fresh so that’s the aim and it definitely achieves it. Holds a good amount of water 2 or 3 bottles full a day should be enough.

Good

Happy with brita water bottle. It is great thank you

Why did you choose this product over others?:Is fine for what it does, however after you take a drink be prepared for overflow to occur and pool around the mouth peice ready for when you pick it up again and get soaked if you dont remember to check.

Very good
