Ready to break your plastic water bottle habit but not quite sold on straight municipal tap? Filter your own bottled water with the patented Bobble Water Bottle. An active carbon filter eliminates toxins and harmful chemicals such as chlorine and other organic contaminants from the water as you sip. The filter itself lasts for about two months, or at least 300 fills, and is both replaceable and recyclable through the Bobble Recycling Program. What's more, the bottle is made entirely of recycled FDA-approved PET that is free of BPA, PVC, and Phthalates and is 100 percent recyclable in most areas.

BPA-free and made of recycled materials, the Bobble removes chlorine and other organic contaminants from your drinking water.

The Bobble uses active carbon filter technology to remove unwanted contaminants from your drinking water so it meets the standards of NSF International Standard 42, the standard that governs the quality of public and private drinking water. How it works is simple, really: as you sip, the water passes over the carbon filter where the negative ions of the contaminants are drawn to, and captured by, carbon granules. The result? Filtered water free of chlorine and other common organic contaminants--with no resulting plastic water bottle waste.

Features:

• Replaceable active carbon filter removes chlorine and organic contaminants as you sip
• Filter is recyclable through the Bobble Recycling Program
• Bottle is made of recycled, FDA-approved PET that is BPA-free, PVC-free, and free of Phthalates
• Bottle is 100 percent recyclable in most areas
• Filtered water meets the standards for NSF International Standard 42
• Filter lasts through at least 300 fills; recommended use time of two months
• Manufactured in the U.S.A.

Bobble filters are replaceable and recyclable through Bobble's Filter Recycling Program.

About Bobble
Americans spend $17 billion a year on bottled water. The costs are not limited to our wallets, either; each year, nearly 1.5 million barrels of oil are used to make plastic water bottles. Most of these bottles are casually discarded. They end up in our landfills, our oceans, and littering our sidewalks.

The folks at Bobble were intrigued by this challenge. They have decades of experience solving design and engineering concerns--and they like bottled water. They didn't think the solution was to stop drinking it, so they approached the problem like a complex engineering puzzle that demanded a simple, intuitive answer.

Bobble's mission was to satisfy the world's desire for portable water while minimizing the considerable costs bottled water imposes on ourselves and our environment. What they came up with is a reimagining of the water bottle--the Water Bobble. Made from recycled materials and recyclable itself, Bobble makes water better by filtering out chlorine and contaminants, basically putting a water treatment facility right in the palm of your hands. Bobble filters as you sip, giving you clean, water-bottle quality water right from the tap.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bobble Water Bottle, May 24, 2010

By 

ThanxTwinJ - See all my reviews

This water bottle is great!! It is environmentally-friendly, budget-friendly and it looks good!

PROS:
Good for the environment!! Get one of these instead of buying cases of bottled water and you end up reducing your carbon footprint on the environment!!

It is great for those people, like me, who are wary of public drinking sources!! Great portable water bottle to bring to airports, parks, beaches, etc.!! Instead of paying the ridiculous mark-up on bottled waters at the airport, use this bottle at the water fountain!!

In getting a bobble, you save money!! Lets assume you can get a 24-pack of 0.5L Poland Spring bottled water for $5 and that you drink two to three bottles a day. Each bobble filter has to be replaced after 150L. That is comparative to 12.5 cases of water bottles or $62.50!!! With the $9.95 cost of a bobble, you save about $50 every two to three months!!

Looks stylish in a very simple way and it comes in so many different colors!


CONS:
Makes a pretty audible whooshing noise upon drinking from the bottle. Would not take this bottle anywhere where quiet and silence is appreciated.

The water stream is too thin. If you're thirsty and direly in need of water, the bobble doesn't provide you with satisfactory gulping due to its sports cap. Great for use at home and at the office but not necessarily for the gym.

3.0 out of 5 stars Water Bobble makes "whooshing" sound - not quiet, May 14, 2010

By 

Kate Highlands (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

Great concept, but this little guy is noisy. When it "inhales" it makes a distinctive "whooshing" sound. I would not bring this into a movie theater, office meeting, library, etc - it's too distracting. So I'm using mine around the house, running errands, or in the car. Water tastes great, and I've stopped buying plastic water bottles by the case, but they should work on fixing the noise. It's the only thing keeping me from buying them for everyone I know.
