have just found this in an old magazine...its cheaper than a lifestraw...anybody got any knowledge of this.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

Brita filters do NOT purify water, they dont remove anything nasty they use a chemcal catalistic reaction (I think) to IMPROVE the taste of water, but they dont filter or treat it.

i agree with the above, i struggle with "darn sarf" tap water, it's pretty harsh on the pallette

, through a brita filter, be it jug, or bottle, it is not as bad
no one really uses them up here in scotlandshire as far as i know, the tapwater is quite nice up here
in some cases, those with the least to say, say the most.....

Lifestraw is fine and filters a whole lot of crap except Fluoride which shouldn't worry you unless you are a left-wing trade unionist green veggie lesbian one parent family
Trouble is it takes a l---o----n----g time to quench your thirst.
My first line of defence is a ECO stainless steel water treatment bottle which contains an inbuilt filter
I can't remember where I got it from but it was about £30-£40 - Nice Buy

Just got back from a week in London, drinking the water. It really does taste disgusting after being used to Highland water. Funnily enough, I grew up with it and it was fine then. Depends on what you're used to I suppose. (Unless it's got worse over the years?)
