These Are The Best Filtered Water Bottles For Clean Water Anywhere

De CidesaWiki

This Sawyer bottle requires an initial prep to remove any foam adsorption material that could've gotten knocked loose during packaging or shipping. Once you prep the bottle, the filtering process requires 10 seconds of squeezing the bottle to work the foam adsorption feature. To get all of the water out of the bottle, you need to give it a serious squeeze -- even roll up the bottle from the bottom, similar to the way you roll up a toothpaste tube when it's getting low. 

My first stop was at this waterfall I spotted a short walk from the side of the road. Because I wanted a long exposure to blur the motion of the water, I shot using the iPhone's standard camera mode with Live Photos activated. I like the way the water streaks out as it hits the pool, but I didn't keep the phone still enough. Some of the rocks and landscape came out a little blurry. 

This shot was taken halfway into my climb up Stac Pollaidh using the iPhone's panorama mode. Despite using the 2x telephoto mode for a closer look on the mountains and lochs, I still captured a wide scene. 

id="cnetReview" section="rvwBody"> For $45, the Wi-Fi-equipped Brita Infinity pitcher promises to keep track of how much water is passing through the filter. Once the filter is about spent, it'll go ahead and automatically order a replacement from Amazon that'll arrive at your doorstep just when you need it.

$40 at Lifestraw Waterwell Ultrafiltration Travel Water Bottle
Produced a sour taste
Paige Thies/CNET Waterwell claims its double-stage filtration system removes 99.9% of waterborne pathogens, but based on the taste of the water that came from this bottle, I wouldn't be so sure. I didn't feel or see any particles like I did with the Lifestraw Go, but the taste alone was enough to make me wary of bringing this bottle into the backcountry. 

The water I scooped from a natural water hole seemed to magically turn into bottled spring water inside the Astrea bottle. If the Astrea One bottle didn't have its filter in place, it would just be a normal wide-mouth stainless steel water bottle, making it super easy to clean: The bottle opening is wide enough to fit a standard dish scrubber inside, and the cap has an extra opening where the filter attaches to make sure you hit all the nooks and crannies. 

Brita's smart pitcher is $20 more than an identical Brita pitcher with no smarts to speak of, so the question here is whether or not that Amazon Dash integration is worth the extra 20 bucks. In theory, it's a useful bit of automation -- especially if you already buy replacement filters on the regular. In practice, it isn't all that precise, and more than anything seems designed to get people to buy new filters more often than they would out of habit alone. It certainly isn't something that anyone needs, but it might make a decent gift for a friend who's picky about filtered water.

The Mahaton bottle features a sleek shape with a nice double taper that makes it easy to hold. It's made of double-wall stainless steel, so it's durable and it'll keep your water cold for hours. It's also small, so you should have no issues fitting the Mahaton bottle into cup holders or bags. 

Andrew Hoyle/CNET This shot was much trickier than I imagined and I ended up taking this shot with my iPhone XS Max. That's because the sky was incredibly bright compared to the rocks in the foreground and the boat itself. I needed something called a graduated neutral density filter -- essentially, a piece of glass where the top half is darker than the bottom. By sliding it into position, it darkens the sky, helping to balance the exposure overall. 

I wanted to get a shot of the car in action, driving on a road. To achieve this, I rigged my iPhone 11 Pro to the back of my mum's VW Polo (below) and I drove behind her. I had a Bluetooth camera trigger in my hand that let me fire off endless frames, hoping to catch just the right angle. This shot is the best of the bunch and even then, it's not particularly sharp. The lack of motion blur from the road also makes it look like the car was simply parked on the tarmac.

I took this shot of the Ullapool harbor at about 9 a.m. I love the soft morning light on the mountains and the cloud detail. This was taken in raw format and edited in Lightroom on the phone. I brought down the highlights to control the bright sky and brought up some of the shadow detail in the surrounding hills. 

Andrew Hoyle/CNET As the traffic eased and I journeyed south of Loch Ness, I pulled into a parking area with an attractive forest next to it, if only to get a break from trundling behind endless strings of buses. The weather cleared by this point and so I wandered down to the edge of the loch.
