My #1 go to bottle!!
by Frank (5 out of 5 stars)
June 15, 2016

Filled my bottle with water and ice cubes, went for a drive in my jeep with the t-tops off. The bottle got warm from sitting in the sun and to my surprise, when I opened it to take a drink the water was still cold and ice cubes were still present. Got home, left the bottle on my kitchen counter and when I opened it the next morning, ice cubes were still floating in the water.

Love it!!! I would never get that from any other bottle I own (nalgene, camelback).

making its use on a daily basis impractical if a water source is not easily available. But otherwise

Exactly as advertised; purifies and does so well. Comes with filter and screw top for days the filter is not necessary. The filter component displaces a significant amount of water, making its use on a daily basis impractical if a water source is not easily available. But otherwise, rugged and perfect for the urban adventurer.

I use this daily at work. The water from the fountain is heavy in chlorine. It takes that right out and taste like distilled water.

Not crazy about this purchase. You can't clean the filter... sooo it's just supposed to collect bacteria? You have to suck hard to get water through the filter which by the way takes up a bit of room inside the bottle cutting down on the water it can hold.

Not bad

Keeps contents cool even when exterior is warm. Filter needs to sit at the bottom instead of 2 inches off the bottom. Can use the full capacity of the container

to draw from this bottle as shown positioned in the picture is a chore as if you're trying to ration the water trying to survive in the desert.

Perfect for the BMW crowd

Bought it, recieved it, shook my head, and will probably will be giving it away as a gift. Very pretty, and stylish just like the folks in the adds. Doesn't carry much water for its size, I feel there are better options, cheaper, that will do the same thing especially if you're off the beaten path

Stylish and functional.

You pay for what you get. A stylish functional water bottle that filters fluoride on top of the more hazardous chemicals while still leaving the nutritional minerals.

Great water bottle

Great water bottle, but the top cap does leak a small amount if flipped over without the straw piece in place. Excellent filter system though.

I'll Take It Traveling -- But Has It's Limitations
by Dean Family (3 out of 5 stars)

Hmmm. Like this idea a lot, and the design deserves kudos. As a documentary TV producer, I've taken my crews around the world over many years, and we always carried something like this to treat the water as we found it. When you're traveling to work, to many farflung areas, you can't afford to have anyone down for a day of stomach problems -- or longer, if you should pick up something serious like amoebic dysentery or giardia ("beaver fever" - caught generally from animal feces in the water, a disease that can take months of medical treatment to cure). So water filtration, sometimes from lakes or streams, and in the 3rd World, even from questionable tap water, is essential.

This product is designed and made in Montreal, Quebec (Canada), and that reminds me of another one I used to buy from the area, priced about the same. It was called the Passport, and it was essentially a set of stacking tubes and cups that all nested into one for travel. At your hotel etc., you'd fit them together so there was the largest, the cup, at the bottom, the tubes between, and a cup or filter with a hole in the bottom on top. Into this you poured your questionable, possibly contaminated, water. Over a period of minutes -- ten to fifteen -- the water would drip through into the bottom. Equal to the Alter Ego, it claimed to kill 99.9+% of all viral and bacterial contaminants, and I used them for a long time. Can't find the company any more. (Does make me wonder -- what exactly is that deadly other .01%??).

This new Alter Ego definitely has world use. I can see all kinds of backpackers etc. putting one in their luggage, so they can drink, as the advertising materials show, even water from a polluted fountain in Olde Europe. The idea that you can take the cap off the bottom and dip the bottle down into the water, then recap it underwater and bring up your "drink" is a good one.

Here's my problem with the design: it takes quite a lot of mouth-power to suck the water through the filter. You're not going to be able to treat any amount of water this way. Furthermore, unlike my old Passport filter, you're not going to end up with a cup of water with which to brush your teeth etc., unless you intend to suck the water through and spit it into a cup! SO the Alter Ego has its uses, and as I say, if I was traveling through Europe or South America etc., I'd have one of these to make dependable drinking water (assuming the company is accurate in its description of what the filter can do -- and I doubt any reviewer has the means to test this, so we'll have to take their word for it). But in fact, I prefer that at the end of the process, I actually have a cup of water to drink or, as I say, brush your teeth, or even transfer it to an uncontaminated drinking bottle.

With the Alter Ego, all you end up with is what's in your mouth after you suck it through the plastic "straw" (really, a mouth piece built into the cap). They say you can help by squeezing the bottle and pushing water through, but I tried this and actually got leakage of the "contaminated" water around the rubber plug in the top. That will not do at all!

Here's the other thing you have to really be careful of with these types of filters. If in fact you're dealing with potentially deadly contaminated water, you have to be a lot more careful than the photos show. For example, there's the company photo of dipping what looks like the whole bottle, mouthpiece and all, into a river. Well, if you get bacterial water on the mouthpiece, you've just defeated the entire process. And say you are filling the bottle with toxic water and you drink only the filtered water, but you leave wet contaminated water on the filter and inside the bottle. How are you going to get rid of this? Get just a drop on your hand and touch your mouth, and you're in deep doodoo.

So again,good idea -- fantastic design -- but a key problem with water delivery. I don't like that you have to suck so strongly on the "straw" in order to get a drink. I'd like a version that let water drip through into a cup, like my old reliable "Passport," so I could have dependable water for whatever use I wanted in my hotel room, or by a lake or river.

Recommended, with caveats.
