Review: LivPURE Filtered Water Bottle
Published on Aug 8th, 2008 in Health with
A representative for the Fit & Fresh company sent me a LivPURE filtered water bottle a couple days ago to review. Their LivPURE bottle is a reusable container with an integrated filter which is designed to filter 75 gallons of water and make the water cleaner and better tasting compared to water from the tap.
We, as a population, use too many plastic water bottles, don’t we? And many of which end up in landfills. This bottle makes a good substitute for buying water bottles and may save you money in the long run. I like the idea of drinking from a vessel that is not only reusable but will filter out some of the less desirable substances, as well save me money!
What does it filter? The company states that the LivPURE water bottle “reduces chlorine by more than 50%,” therefore improving the taste of regular tap water. The filter also ”inhibits the growth of common bacteria.” The water bottle has been tested and certified by the Water Quality Association.
The soft, plastic LivPURE bottle holds 20 oz of liquid, has a built-in drinking spout, and features an ergonomic hour-glass shape, making it easy to hold. The company recommends changing the filter every 2-3 months. At the time of this posting, the water bottle costs $9.99, and the filters cost $7.95 for two.
Buying bottled water can be expensive, use too many resources, and add to pollution. Three rather undesirable effects I must say. So, if you only buy bottled water because you don’t want to drink from the tap, you may want to give this water bottle, or a similar product, thoughtful consideration.

… All this talk of water has made me thirsty! OK, time to pour myself a tall one (that would be water).
very interesting! I am in need of a water bottle and hadn’t been able to check any out out, so i think i’ll give this one a try. Thanks for the great review
It looks pretty.
I drink tap water but filtering it would probably be a good idea. Thanks for the review!
