Are you thinking about buying a Brita water bottle? Read this article before buying one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Brita water filter pitcher is quite a common sight in many household refrigerators. Consumers enjoy the cleaner taste and better quality of the water<\/a>, and it\u2019s a much more environmentally friendly system than going through cases and cases of disposable water bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Brita\u2019s website, consumers use 2,000 plastic bottles every second, every day–yikes! However, one can\u2019t deny that water bottles do come in handy during a workout, at the office, or on the go. The good news is that Brita is now officially manufacturing reusable Brita water bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this review, we\u2019re going to take a look at Brita water bottle, as well as a few competitors. We\u2019ll compare their specs and features and give you an honest analysis to help you decide whether or not a Brita water bottle is your top choice for portable hydration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a Brita Water Bottle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As of June 2018, Brita has three basic water bottle designs: the Hard-Sided Bottle, the Sport Bottle and the Large Water Bottle. All three are BPA-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They each contain a replaceable Brita\u00ae bottle filter, which acts to lessen the smell and flavor of chlorine usually present in tap water and also filters out particulates 50 microns or larger in size. (For reference, human hair on average has a cross-section of 50 microns.) The bottles also feature a built-in carrying loop for convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a few benefits to using a Brita water bottle. The taste of your water is usually noticeably better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the water you drink will be cleaner with the particulates filtered out of it. The other benefits are those that you reap with just about any reusable water bottle. You\u2019re likely to save money because you\u2019re not buying multiple disposable bottles throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re also benefiting the environment by reducing plastic bottle waste. Just one Brita water filter can replace up to 300 of the standard 16.9-ounce water bottles that consumers have been used to buying for so long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brita Water Bottle Usage, Care, and Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brita water bottles are fairly easy to use and maintain, especially because they are dishwasher-safe. To clean the bottle, just take out the filter first, and place the plastic components on the top rack of the dishwasher or hand-wash them with mild soap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When water is in the bottle, it\u2019s best to keep the bottle out of direct sunlight to prevent algae growth. The most important thing is remembering to change your filter. For optimum performance, you should replace your Brita water bottle filter every two months or every 40 gallons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike some filters, the filter for Brita water bottles requires no \u201cpre-soaking\u201d period. To get started with the hard-sided bottles, you\u2019ll want to flush the filter for about 15 seconds under running water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you place the filter into the filter housing in the lid and press down on it. You may have to push firmly to make sure the filter is flush with the straw. Once you’ve done that, line up the straw and lid and then rotate the straw to lock it. For the Sport Bottle, you start by pushing the filter into the housing, then filling the bottle up to the top with cold tap water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, you make sure that the cap is securely tightened and then squeeze all the water out through the filter to activate it. This water and any water that you use to rinse a Brita filter can actually be used to water houseplants so that it doesn\u2019t go to waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If for some reason any of the parts malfunction, Brita\u2019s website offers a customer service phone number and claims that it \u201coffer[s] a 30-day, unconditional, 100% money-back guarantee on all Brita\u00ae Pitchers, Faucet Filter Systems, Water Bottles, and Filters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water bottles are also under a 90-day limited warranty. When you are eventually ready to retire your bottle, you can actually recycle it (along with any old filters and filter packaging) through the Brita Recycling page on Brita\u2019s website, as long as you have a least five pounds of Brita products to ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
