Is this Water Bottle Filter Really Cost Effective?
Let’s have a look at the numbers. It’s about $3.25 to have 5-gallons of water delivered to your home, plus fees. Leading-brand water filter pitchers cost about $0.85 to filter 5 gallons, plus the time spent on constant refilling and waiting. Taking your blue water bottles to the nearest shop costs $1.25 for 5 gallons, a car trip, and a possible backache. A single Blue Bottle Filter can filter 120* gallons of water, giving you 5 gallons of filtered drinking water for less than $0.63.

I am completely satisfied with this blue-bottle filter. It is in fact the only remaining snap-on filter on the market for all existing 2, 3, and 5 gallons jug with 55 mm mouth. I hope this filter will not disappear from existence like so many others
The website does not say it, but their filter is carbon-block style. This means that it they can produce water that is free of particulates, chlorine, microscopic organism cysts, harmful heavy metals (lead, chromium, mercury, etc) , volatile organic chemicals, and other contaminants like asbestos. It’s also passively anti-microbial due to its extremely small pores, which is very hard for bacteria to squeeze through and live inside the filter (bacteria can still breed inside the filter but it takes them between 6-12 months to get inside, so it’s best to replace after 6 months but absolute max is no more than 12 months).
I did some test using the filter and it indeed passed most important tests. Beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium and still pass through which is good. Water completely devoid of TDS like pure reverse-osmosis-ed water and other filters like ZERO-WATER brand filter is extremely harmful for your body in the long run. Water always seeks for equilibrium between its TDS and its environment’s TDS. If the environment’s TDS is higher than the water’s TDS, it will try to take some from the environment to establish equilibrium. What does it mean when this water enters your body? The answer: it will try to leach whatever minerals your body has like calcium in your bones, sodium from your blood, and other minerals from your food in order to equalize. As the result, your body will be robbed of its essential minerals by the leaching water which will cause bones weakening and minerals deficiency after you’ve drunk that stuff like ZERO-WATER brand for years.
TLDR: 10/10. Blue-bottle filter blocks ALOT of the bad stuffs while still lets the good stuff through. It does not change TDS much, but my lab tests shown harmful stuffs has been removed from water by the filter. Please remember, TDS is not a professional measurement for water quality. Drinking water with zero TDS will forcefully leach minerals from from your body, especially from your bones. Always drink water with TDS 100-200 but with NO harmful contaminants.
