Actually, these days I’m using an even better bottle — Lifestraw! I’m obsessed with it. It has everything that was great about Clearly Filtered and solves all the problems it had. New review coming soon 🙂

Thanks for your details comparison. Clearly Filtered seems winner according to your analysis, right?

Great read! Safe drinking water is a must. There are many different purification bottles out there. Thank you for sharing all about these!

Hey Svea! No, I’ve never tried chemical drops — and I’m not sure what kind of filter the SteriPen qualifies as but it’s the only one I tried. For me the most important factors are convenience and portability. The SteriPen is great for sharing between two or three though you’d have to stagger use if you wanted to share it among more people (ie. don’t all fill up your bottles at the same time or you’ll be waiting for a while.) Hope that helps! Good luck!

Hi Alex,
thank you very much for sharing your experiences with water treatment systems and giving some great advices. I was wondering if you have ever used other technologies such as chemical drops or other filter systems (pump filters or gravity filters)? And what would be the most important aspect to consider when buying one of the system? (Reliability, speed, capacity etc.)? Would you also suggest the SteriPen for travels in larger groups or would you switch to other technologies with greater capacity? Thank you so much! I am looking forward to hearing from you!

I was unable to find the Athletic Edition via your link. Is it no longer available?
