The water bottle purchase

We’re in full on prep mode as we fly out in 2 days. I decide that I need to buy a water bottle with built in filter. I soon find out that such tech comes with a price. Since I don’t have time for any online shopping I bite the bullet, find the cheapest ones and $75 (for 2) later here they are. Why do I need such tech which filters a lot but not everything? Well I figure most places will be striving for environmental consciousness and providing water bottle refills in an attempt to ditch plastic bottles. Awesome! But I have vivid memories of being served ‘filtered’ water in India and getting sick. Filters are only as good as the upkeep they get. I’m sure the water I was drinking had an old filter in it. On that trip we had 5 months. With only 4 weeks ahead of us this time I’m being extra cautious. And that’s why we have the $75 water bottles. Thanks Kathleen, Hope and John for the MEC birthday gift card!
