Hot or Not? Water Bobble

Another water bottle enters the market, but this one offers a twist -- a built in filter. Designed by Karim Rashid and produced by Move Collective LLC, the Water Bobble, $9.95, works the same way larger water filter products and pitchers for your fridge work. A carbon filter (located at the top of the bottle) removes chlorine and other contaminants from tap water. You can place the carbon filter every two months.

Available in a myriad of colors, perfect for school and travel. What do you think?

Brita used to sell a water bottle called the Fill&Go. I think I got mine for free at some event at least 10 years ago. The line ended up getting discontinued.

I like the idea. Most of the time, I'm fine with filling my Sigg bottles at home, but sometimes I end up drinking more during the day than anticipated, and the water in my grad school's building is really BAD. This would be helpful in situations like that!

I wish you didn't have to replace the plastic part of the filter. If you could just open it up to replace the carbon part, that would help "green" it up.

I have a similar product that I bought through a backpacking catalogue years ago.

does anyone know of good small carbon filters for cheap?

the people who make the chikuno cubes have a large log like item that can go in a pitcher. they also have these sticks that you swirl into a drink to "clean it". what i wanted was larger version of the thin sticks to stick in the 1L bottles i have but they seem rather pricey. apparently boiling them will "refresh" them.

any other similar options? these seem to be the only one.
