Thanks. Hope to see it on your official list of travel gear some day =)

You could ask the company about specific elements such as those you mentioned. While it’s not perfect, it does filter out quite an array of substances with the carbon filter attached (the primary filter is there to remove any and all pathogens down to 15 nano meters in size).

I have heard a number of negative things about water exported from Fiji, however options are limited where I live. The only other bottled water I found that actually tasted like “water” and not some chemical concoction was Eternal (exported from New Zealand).

Then again, drinking Fiji has probably made me hyper-aware of anything in water, that “shouldn’t” be there.

As for the carbon footprint…it certainly is a bit silly to transport water from across the world, but again, options are limited- which is sad on our part here in the US. I continually read water from other nations is of much high quality (not consdiering nations in worse economic shape however).

Despite all that, would you care to elaborate on the “carbon footprint” comment specifically? A lot of rational thinkers who I highly respect (guys like Dr Doug Mcguff, Dr Michael Eades) are very skeptical of “global warming”, which is what I assume you were referring to.

Would love to hear an argument for it, that wasn’t the same as I could read mainstream.

Finally

“I however, will stick to city water until disaster strikes.”

The only problem I foresee with this mentality is…when disaster strikes, it’s too late. UPS and FEDx will not be overnighting anything to an area with a hurricane on it’s doorstep. Consider New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina- a complete disaster, people literally shooting each other over food and water. I certainly never want to be around an environment like that, but if I was, I would not want to deal with people shooting at me either- or risk severe dehydration.

thanks for commenting, look forward to your response

We have this little cottage up in the mountains, around 3,5 hours from here, where we get the water directly from the mountains. It’s so awesome to go to the little brook(?) and drink directly from it.

There’s no better tasting water

The primary filter (the 15nm filter) lasts 4,000 liters, the- optional- carbon filter (that improves the taste and filters out additional compounds such as heavy metals) lasts ~250l. The bottle itself comes /w 1 carbon filter, and a replacement is 30 bucks.

The primary filter can also be replaced for around 80 dollars (off the top of my head, check Amazon for an exact price).

Then put “The only real upkeep is replacing the carbon filter every ~250 liters. Even at 4 liters a day, this is over 2 months worth of water that has been filtered for additional substances”

Is there two filters in it?
