Brita Premium Filtering - Review 2023

Overview

Mainly, the stainless steel Brita Premium Filtering Water Bottle is known for its ability to filter tap water on the go. That means taking water from public bathrooms and removing impurities like odors and chlorine.

It is compatible with a Brita filter, which has a proprietary blend of activated carbon and binder. This filter reduces chlorine odor and taste, and particulates commonly found in tap water.

Each filter can last for about two months before needing replacement. In a year, on average, this water bottle only needs six filters and you can get a package of 6 for under $20.

This drinking bottle has double-wall insulation. So, it can keep your water cold for as long as 24 hours. In reality it’ll be more like a day depending on the weather.

The idea behind the Brita Premium Filtering Water Bottle is to let you hydrate better. It allows you to enjoy clean and healthy water wherever you go, without having to spend too much money.

Let’s dive in deeper to find out what it’s like to use this water bottle!

Filter on the Go

This water bottle has a WQA Certification to filter water as you drink, reducing chlorine and particulates. How does it work, exactly?

Each Brita filter comes with a proprietary blend of activated carbon and a binder housed in a BPA-free material. This activated carbon block minimizes the taste and odor of chlorine, and particulates.

Interestingly, the filtration occurs while preserving healthy minerals and electrolytes found in tap water. Specifically, the filters maintain a healthy level of fluoride, which is beneficial for strong teeth.

How Brita Filters Work

For optimal performance and consistent water quality, it is recommended that you replace your drinking bottle’s filter after every 40 gallons of water. This amount of water translates to roughly two months.

When replacing the filter of your Brita Premium Filtering Water Bottle – Stainless Steel, 32oz, rinse the replacement filter thoroughly under running water for 15 seconds. Let the water run through the filter thoroughly, including the internal part, to wash out any loose carbon particles.

After cleaning the replacement filter, insert it into the straw. Then, lock the straw by twisting it into the bottom of the leak-proof lid of your water bottle.

Once the lid is all set, you can proceed to fill your drinking bottle with water up to the Max Fill line. Then, screw on the lid, and enjoy drinking clean and refreshing water.

Brita filters are available in three-piece and six-piece packs. They are compatible with all Brita water bottles, not only with the Brita Premium Filtering Water Bottle – Stainless Steel, 32oz.

Moreover, these filters can be recycled through TerraCycle, Brita’s free recycling program. Other Brita products, such as bottles, dispensers, faucet mount systems, and pitchers, may also be recycled through TerraCycle.

This drinking bottle is not dishwasher safe. It needs to be washed by hand using mild dish soap. Keep in mind to remove the filter before washing.

Keep the Good, Lose the Bad

The promise of the Brita Premium Filtering Water Bottle – Stainless Steel, 32oz is making tap water taste great anytime, anywhere; and it delivers.

You can refill your water bottle with tap water wherever you are without worrying about the quality. With the proprietary filtration technology, you can enjoy clean water on the go.

Another good thing about Brita filters is that they preserve healthy minerals, such as fluoride, in tap water. Fluoride has properties that promote strong teeth.

With this drinking bottle, you are doing your part to save the planet. Surely, it minimizes our dependence on single-use plastic bottles daily. TerraCycle, a free recycling program, also helps reduce waste. All Brita products can be recycled through this program, including filter packaging materials.

Like most reusable drinkware, Brita Premium Filtering Water Bottle – Stainless Steel, 32oz allows you to save money in the long run. After getting the bottle itself, you only need to purchase filters regularly. Each filter can, on average, last for two months before needing replacement. So, typically, you only need a six-piece pack for an entire year.

This water bottle is pretty easy to use. Replacing the filter only requires thorough washing of the new filter for 15 seconds under running water. Inserting it into the straw and locking the leak-proof lid only takes less than a minute.

Meanwhile, the straw has an enclosed, easy-sip design that makes drinking water quick and easy. Combine that with healthy, filtered water, and you can have a delightful hydration experience every day.

Lastly, we like the double-wall insulation of this water bottle. Like that of the Hydro Flask 24 oz. Standard Mouth, it can keep your water cold for up to 24 hours.

What we don’t like

Cleaning the straw by hand can be challenging without straw cleaners. Mold can grow easily if it is not washed properly and regularly. Over time, as the black spots accumulate, it becomes harder and harder to remove them. These black spots can compromise your drinking experience in the long run.

Conclusion

The Brita Premium Filtering Water Bottle – Stainless Steel, 32oz makes it affordable and easy to access clean and healthy water on the go. The Brita filter is a proprietary blend of activated carbon and a binder that can reduce chlorine and particulates in tap water. At the same time, this filter preserves the healthy minerals and electrolytes present in tap water.

With double-wall insulation, this water bottle also promises a refreshingly cold drink throughout the day. Its capacity of 32 oz is ideal for all-day hydration.

If you want to stop buying water in single-use plastic bottles, this drinking bottle is a fitting compromise. The filter only needs to be replaced, on average, every two months, so you can save a lot of money. At the same time, you would also be helping save the planet from plastic waste.
