Safe Water This Summer: Win Sport Bottles With Built-In Filters!
Several months ago I talked about the importance of water filtration. I shared the portable water filtration system that our family uses and loves, the Berkey Light.
Much as I love my large counter-top filter, and it is light and portable enough to use for emergencies or even to bring camping if I wanted to, there are times when it simply isn’t helpful or practical. Like travelling somewhere with a questionable water supply, or a hiking trip, or even a full day summer outing where you will want to refill water bottles and not have to lug around a huge jug of pre-filtered water.
This is the Sport Berkey Water Bottle that I have been trying out from LPC Survival, one of this blog’s fantastic sponsors and a retailer of Berkey Water Filters.
I know, first thought is that it’s plastic and I don’t love that fact any more than many of you do. It is BPA-free, though, and the website states that it does not leach plasticizers into the water. I haven’t noticed any plastic taste in the water at all, and since I am a stainless steel gal, you would think that if it was in there, I would notice it.
What makes these bottles really unique is not whether they’re plastic or BPA-free, but rather the fact that they have a built-in, heavy duty water filtration element. It is a miniature version of the filter elements used in the larger Berkeys.
We have a Berkey Light filtration system in our kitchen, and we love, love, love it. The water tastes pure and fresh, but without the minerals being stripped from it. I feel good giving this water to my kids, the science behind these filters gets a thumbs-up from me, and guests regularly comment on what clean tasting water it is.
The same filters in my larger system are exactly the same as the smaller filter used in the sport bottle. Here’s what the website says about the power of these little filters:
The Sport Berkey Portable Water Purifier Eliminates or Reduces up to 99.9% of:
Unpleasant taste and odors, cloudiness, silt, sediment and chlorine.
Toxic chemicals: Trihalomethanes, VOCs, detergents, pesticides, etc.
Harmful microscopic pathogens: Cryptosporidium, Giardia, E-coli 99.99999% and other pathogenic bacteria.
Heavy metals: Aluminum, Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Lead, and Mercury.
Radiologicals: Radon 222
How Does it Work?
Basically, you just fill it up with water. Any water- from a kitchen tap, from a water fountain, even from a mountain stream (because yes, the filter can handle bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc.).
As you suck up the water through the straw, it goes through the filter and you get only fresh, clean tasting water.
Just like the larger filter elements, these smaller ones can be used over and over again for years, and washed with a dish scrub pad when they begin to show sediment on the outside or the filter speed slows down.
The bottles have an easy-to-use flip top that covers the straw (which is attached to the filter). When you first see and feel the bottle, it seems a bit bizarre to have the filter dangling like it is, but once the bottle is full of water you don’t really notice that it’s there anymore. I’ve also been able to carry the bottle in my purse and haven’t noticed any leaking issues to this point, a definite plus for me.
Aside from regular use as a water bottle, they are also an idea thing to have on hand for emergencies when a larger system would be impractical. Although I am not willing to test it out for the sake of product review (bloggers do have their limits, you know!) the idea is that with such a thorough filtration system you could feasibly use water in any survival situation, dirty, contaminated, etc. and expect to be as well-protected as possible rather than putting yourself or your family at risk by drinking unsanitary water (which, by the way, is a major cause of much of the disease and death in developing nations or during natural disasters).

Would love to win one of these bottles… I also have been uneasy with plastics and have been lugging around my, get this, glass bottle! It would be great to be able to fill up wherever I am and not have to drink sparingly when I’m out because I’ll run out of water!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve checked out the Berkey works and enjoy my Berkey! The portable personal size would be great for my working teen who really needs his clean water!

I have two kids and worry about the contaminations from Plastics My kids love outside and this would be an awesome safe alternative to plastic throw away water bottles for them.
These look AWESOME. Would so love to win some so we don’t have to worry about finding clean water when we’re hiking or camping.
We do a lot of hiking, these would be great. Especially if we have to refill on the road.

I really like the fact that you can fill it up wherever you are with any water that happens to be available and still have peace of mind that the water is clean. I have gone thirsty in some places rather than drink the water available! This would be a great thing to have!

It would be a huge blessing to recieve these water bottles, as our family has been striving to make changes in our food habits ( diff. meat, milk , eggs, joined a CSA for produce to help local growers), but these would help us to not only drink more water, BUT BETTER water… it would be a great way for us to cut down, or stop using Brita Filters…and bottled water… PLEASE consider our family !!!

We have a Berkey filter at home. I would love to use these waterbottles – we were just at the zoo yesterday for 6 hours and would love to have been able to be drinking the filtered water the whole day!
My husband and my 13 year-old daughter are going on a mission trip to El Salvador. Where they are staying is supposed to have clean drinking water, but I would feel much better about it if they had a high quality filter for their water. You can never be too careful in a third world country! This way they can focus on helping the orphans and buildings houses for the homeless and not have to worry about what they are drinking!
I would love to win these for two reasons. 1. We can’t drink our tap water and this would be helpful for when we run out of our spring water and 2. everyone in our family has a water bottle that we take with us when we leave the house and this would be helpful for those times that we drink all our water and are still out and about.
How funny! My husband just ordered one last night : ) To take to work with him. He’s barely been drinking water b/c it tastes nasty here. I’d love to win one for myself!
This is the best idea, especially for hikers. My husband would love something like this because it’s efficient and useful…and it has to be those things if we take it camping with us! 🙂

I would love to have this. I love the fact that it has it’s own filter. My husband and I just got back from a mission trip to the Dominican Republic and this really would have come in handy. We drank bottled water, but even that was sometimes plastic tasting. I would love this for future trips and for everyday use, as I am a big water drinker. Thanks for sharing! ( I also shared on facebook, and am now following LPC Survival)
I am trying to build my supply of emergency supplies and this would definitely help with water filtration!

I’d love to send one of these with my husband to work – the water there smells and tastes bad.

I’d like to win because sometimes I am in situations when I need to refill my water bottle and then I just have to use tap water without filtering it. We also sometimes go hiking and so far have to bring all our water with us on a day trip since we can’t yet afford a water filter.
I signed up for the monthly newsletter!
I would love this water bottle! With two little ones and lots of road trips, the filter being included in the bottle is necessary and I wouldn’t have to rely on bottle water at the store or my own flimsy attempt at water filtration with a cheap filter. I would REALLY love a Berkey at home system, too!
I would love to try this water bottle for “on the go” and am contemplating one of their bigger systems for my whole family.
We are a family of 7 that does a lot of camping, these would be perfect for us and help defray the cost of having to get 7 🙂 Thanks!!

I think this sports bottle would be a great way to get acquainted with the Berkey water filtration system. I would love to have one of the large models but don’t have the fundage for that, yet. :0)

I have visited the website many times. I love the purifying without removing valuable minerals with a clean taste. I think getting to try one of these out would help convince my husband that the investment is worth it.

I’ve read about the benefits of Berkey before and would really like to own one, but with it being so large and expensive I worry about buyer’s regret. Winning a sports bottle might be just the “trial period” I need to take the plunge and get a kitchen full sized one.
Why? Just so I can quit hauling a cooler full of cold water bottles, ice packs and everything else around to all our road-trips, kid sporting events, etc. in trying to avoid being sick drinking from neglected fountains and the like. BRILLIANT!
For me, I would love to win these because the thought of “herbicides and pesticides” in my water is frightening! To know I was drinking clean, pure water would be a great relief!!

I love the idea of the sport bottle for all those trips to the park, where the water fountain water is rusty and chlorine filled – plus, our city’s water tests quite high for hexavalent chromium, which this filter gets out! I’ve been porting my own pitcher of filtered water everywhere we go, which is getting old.

I would love to have these for my family of six… winning two would make that more affordable. Thank you for making us aware that these are available. I am putting these on my family’s wishlist for holidays!

I would love to win one of these water bottles because this has actually been something I’ve been looking around for for a while. I picked up a Bobble recently, but I do not believe the filter is powerful enough. I looked at Sport Berkey’s website, and this looks like the kind of powerful filter system on-the-go that we need. My hubby and I do a lot of camping and would love to have these!
How cool! I love that it filters the yucky odors and chlorine out because I work at a hospital where we use tap water and it just tastes yuck. So it’s hard for me to be motivated to re-fill my water bottle at work. I have to force myself to remember to do so, but I usually forget because of my lack of motivation to drink yucky tasting water, so I usually end up dehydrated at the end of the day! This water bottle would help me stay hydrated at work!!

I appreciated the article and wanted to add to it. if people are interested in emergency preparedness, this site is something to consider. http://www.htiwater.com/ The LDS Church, which I attend is probably the foremost authority on the subject, and they use these to send to disaster sites all over the world where the drinking water is compromised. What is particularly nice about them is they are pouches, so they store flat, but filter a large amount of water. (Tap water, muddy puddles, saltwater, or even wastewater sludge!) Some of them can even add electrolytes if needed. I keep a couple in my food storage and a couple in my car for emergencies. They are expensive, but for me, the vast types of water they can make absolutely clean is worth the cost.
Just a thought.

@Laine,
We used to live in Iowa and something interesting we found out from some good friends of ours was that Iowa has an importing restriction on water filtration systems! Weird, huh? If you try to get one from anywhere online, you’ll have to have them send it to someone out-of-state who can deliver it to you. Best wishes!
I would LOVE these for my kiddos. My almost 3 and almost 2 year old are always drinking water from their stainless steel water bottles (which are too large and heavy for them), and these filters would be a God-send. The water around us has recently been found to contain all kinds of contaminants. These filters would equal peace of mind for this mama. I have been trying to save up for a water filter for our home, but with money not coming in at all right now – that has been just a dream. Praying that I get these, but thankful that anyone might be blessed by them. Thanks!

I looked at the website, and I’m so excited to see a Berkey filter that you can travel with!
Wow, these filters are awesome. It is amazing that they can make the water so pure and have such good results. I would love to win one to drink out if everyday when we are out and about or just at home!

Wow! I’m officially impressed! I’ll bet the fluoride removal filters would be great for folks who have it added to the municipal water. I was interested to see that it even removes radon. The sport bottle would be great for my husband when he’s hiking or working, and I think I’ll tell him about the counter-top filter. We’ve been looking for a good filter, and this might fit the bill!

As a widow (with an eight year old son), I am trying to be obedient to the Lord, while at the same time being a good steward of His resources He is providing. I have the Berkey Light, but would really love to have the sports bottles for our backpacks should the need arise.
Thank you for the opportunity to enter your contest.
I would really like to drink clean water!
I am eight years old and want to win a Berkey Sports bottle for my backpack.

I drink filtered water and that is a pain when you go on vacation or to someone’s house where there is no filter – having this bottle would solve that problem!
I’d like to win because it would be so hand to not have to carry around 3 bottles of water from home with us everywhere we go. I could feel safe knowing my kids are getting clean water!
I get your emails.

I would love to win these…but, last time I checked Berkley wasn’t able to ship to CA…do you know if that’s still the case?

Our water comes from the Rio Grande river so drinking from the faucet even filtered is out of the question. These sound like we would be able to use them with the amount of pathogens they can filter!

I’d really like to drink Berkey-purified water, but the big ones aren’t in my budget right now, so this little sports bottle would be amazing!

I would LOVE these bottles as we live in a city that adds waaaay too much to our water. My children would really benefit from these when we hike in the area. We would love to get them!
I would love to win a Berkley because it is a quality product.

We use a Santevia water filter, but it’s currently out of commission (the ceramic filter broke). We’re waiting for a replacement to arrive via Canada Post, but who knows how long that could take?! It would be great to have these two sports bottles instead of having to purchase the big 15L water bottles at the store!
Oh…I also follow you on Facebook!
I spend a lot of time overseas in a city without drinkable tap water. This would come in handy so often! I’m looking at their countertop systems as well. I’ve subscribed to your blog.
This would save me so much $$$ on filtered water. I would love to own one of these sports bottles. Thanks for the opportunity !!!!!
I live in Florida and we are official in hurricane season. These water bottles seem like the perfect solution to post-hurricane, contaminated water issues…and a whole lot easier than having 30 gallons of purified water on hand for the family! I’d love to give them a try.
And I subscribe by email! Thanks.
I would love this! Even though I use filtered water when I fill up my water bottle, the ice I put in it is not – this would be fantastic!

I would LOVE this! It would save me all sorts of $$ on water!
We have trouble with our city water (unusable due to iron THREE TIMES in the last three weeks!!) – I am going insane. I desperately need a full size Berkey for home (another giveaway perhaps?). 🙂 And the smaller portable bottles would be perfect for keeping in the car so my three year old (always thirsty) and I (also always thirsty due to nursing my 7 month old) would always have filtered fresh water available!

I am amazed by all the toxic chemicals and bacteria the filter removes! I would like it to be able to drink good water even if I do not have access to a clean water source.

I *love* water. This bottle would be awesome to refill anywhere and not have to worry about what’s in the water! Water tastes different everywhere we go, it would be nice to have peace of mind with a bottle like these. Awesome product!!

I’m living on campus at school this summer, and it is HOT. The cafeteria isn’t open, and the water here is really nasty, so I have been having to buy gallons of water. This would be wonderful.
YES YES YES, this is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. We will be returning Stateside after 2 years in Asia and these bottles are exactly what we’ve needed in regard to the bad water here (yes, I’ve had my fair share of parasites). As we look into returning next year these would be such a blessing to our family!
We’re planning to move to China in the next year, and a water bottle like this would be so handy in a place where tap water is undrinkable!
@Charissa,
That is exactly where we are and why I am looking to even purchase one of their regular filters as well!! The water here is so bad and I’m thinking it could be more cost effective in the end… you really just never know if the water you are drinking is actually clean…
Happy travels to our “neck of the woods” (although we’ll be State-side for the next 6 months)

We have really gross tap water so we refill gallons of water at the store. When we run out though, until we have a chance to go to the store, we boil our water. This would be so nice to have, especially when I’m out and about!
I would love to win to be able to have filtered water on the go. We spend a lot of time at the ballpark, and I hate having to refill with tap water!

I would love to win this Berkey water bottle filter as I have been looking into getting the Berkey water filtration system as of recent. We are saving money to buy the big one. BUt I would love to win a bottle to convince my husband of all the benefits of the Berkey filtration system.
Thanks for the opportunity! HOpe I win!

Oooh, I’d love to win one of these! City water (and every other type of water with all of the chemicals and stuff) upsets my body systems so terribly bad. I would love to try this to see if it would help!

Hey Stephanie! I hope this finds you well! I just sent your blog address to one of my dear friends in VA this morning. I hope she enjoys it as much as I do. Oh, and I’d love to win one of these water bottles because well, we don’t have any filtered water bottles, so I’d like to give it a try.

(1) When friends and family come to visit, we can rely on one thing: “Wow – the water down here really stinks!” Unfortunately, Clearwater (our town) doesn’t have actually have “clear” water. =) It’s heavily chlorinated and has a foul odor and is chock-full of contaminants. We can’t afford bottled water (which is no cleaner anyway), but I have 2 sporty, active boys who are out in the heat sweating all day and need to drink!
I checked out the Sport Berkey bottles on that website and am now officially drooling. We SOOO completely need water bottles that they can fill at the basketball court, or at a water fountain… wherever outside we happen to be… so their growing bodies get the benefit of clean water without those scary contaminants! =)

I have a berkey light and love love love it! These bottles would be great to have when on the go since I pretty much can’t tolerate the taste of anything but berkey water : )
We are saving for a Berkley. This would be great to have around.
My two boys aren’t fans of drinking water…unless it’s out of a water bottle. So I have gone out and bought them each their own water bottle. But sadly the water we are putting in it isn’t the quality that my husband and I would be liking to give them. So with these water bottles it would be our start to filtering water for the boys. Also my husband is a huge hunter/hiker. He often spends weeks in the mountains and needs a good water bottle. We thought we had a good bottle for him, but after a trip into the mountains he contracted giardia and was sick for over a week. So now he is super cautious when drinking the mountain water. Right now we just don’t have the extra funds to be buying him a great water bottle. So this would make his trips more enjoyable also!!
Oh I’d sure love to have a Berkey light water bottle! so often we are out working on our farm and run out of water and have to take water from a creek or pond! we filter but taste leaves much to be desired! I need a Berkey light water bottle!
I love the idea of the Berkey filters. I’ve been searching for a good replacement sport bottle for my workouts and thought my only option was to get the expensive stainless stealer (insolated) ones. But to have a bottle that filters my water too! That is so awesome. Plus having a cleanable filter – where I don’t have to buy a new filter every 6 months – even better
I would love to try this! It would be perfect for my husband to bring to work. 🙂

These would be great! We have city water and the fluoride makes us sick!
Thanks!
Having one of these water filter bottles would be great when traveling to use instead of buying bottled water.
I looked at their web site and am really impressed with how well they filter! We are traveling next month and I would love to win these to take with us. Hotel water always tastes so bad!
This is just what our busy family needs. Fill& go, I love it! No more worrying about forgetting to fill water bottles before we leave the house, just fill with water while we are out and the water is great. I really need these 🙂

I like the peace of mind of having them for an emergency situation. Plus, I can worry less about what’s in the regular tap water.

I have had a kidney transplant so pure water is very important me. This would be perfect for traveling to ensure that I drink “safe” water all the time! Great invention!

I checked out the website. Anything that can remove the FOOD COLORING from water is amazing!

I’m impressed that it can take out food coloring leaving the minerals behind! Wow! We have issues with arsenic, though. Still trying to figure out what to do about it. 🙁 I would love one of these. So wonderful for getting fresh, clean water anywhere! I’ve been afraid of Giardia in “clean” mountain streams since 10th grade biology. 🙂

I would love to be able to send this with my son when he goes to his sporting events. He actually told me he doesn’t drink the water when he is out because the water tastes bad and he knows what is in it. We have a Big Berkey at home and LOVE it, so he knows what good water tastes like.

The micro-pores within the self-sterilizing and re-cleanable Black Berkey™ purification elements are so small that pathogenic bacteria are simply not able to pass through them. I’d love to win one so I could refill my bottle anywhere instead of just at home.

and I would love to have filtered water bottles. I recently bought a camel back bottle with filter but the filter has to be replaced every 3 months and I don’t taste a difference between plain tap water and water sucked up through the filter and straw – so that was a waster of $30 for me. These bottles seem like a better deal and like that vital minerals aren’t stripped out. Off to check out their website and see what else I can learn.
ooh! Thanks I’d LOVE a filtering water bottle – esp. one that filters SO MUCH of the ‘junk’ out.

I was just looking at the Berkley water bottles a few days ago! Our water is fairly tasteless in Erie, PA(not sure that’s it’s pure by any means) or maybe I’m just used to it… but every time we travel my husband and I become water snobs and won’t drink anything other than bottled. I was looking to get one or two of these for our upcoming trip to Disney – thier water is horrible!!!
love the portability of these!!

I’d love to win one of these bottles because a) we enjoy hiking a lot and it would be great for that, b) incase of an emergency it would be nice to know we have at least some source of clean water c) perhaps if my hubby could use one of these bottles he’d be more inclined to want to get the large system!

I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win this water bottle! I just got back from a vacation with my husband, and over the 4 days we were gone I hardly drank any water because the hotel water was disgusting. I should have just bought bottled water. Having clean, filtered water at all times while I’m away from home would be great!

Can the filter in the berkey sport really last for one year or more? I thought I read somewhere else that the filter needs to be changed more often than once per year.
And, is it easy to order a replacement filter?
I would LOVE to win this water bottle because I hate emptying our entire fridge pitcher of filtered water into my water bottle. Plus I could refill it on the go! 😉

Our tap water is so full of chlorine that it tastes like pool water! We’ve purchase three water filters (tap connected) and all have broken in as many months. I’m tired of buying junk filters, so I’m drinking straight out of the tap and I”m afraid I’m doing so much harm and counter acting all the good I do in other ways.
