Review on 💧 Green and Black Water Filtration Bottle: Boost Your Hydration and Sustainability by Taurus Monsalve

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Bought for travel, there are problems.

I bought this bottle to take with me when I travel. At first I really liked it. It filters quickly, slightly improves the taste of the water and looks good thanks to the high-quality assembly. My problem was that water poured over me the first time I tried to use it in flight. This is because the bottle is pressurized, it's already pressurized so it will flow better, the altitude has increased the pressure and will cause the bottle to overflow if you try to drink from it. This kept happening no matter what I tried to do to stop it. I first opened the bottle and then closed it again hoping to equalize the pressure, but it didn't work. Then I opened it and bit the valve at the same time, but it didn't work. The only thing that works is opening the bottle, removing the cap/straw completely and then biting down on the valve. This allows the pressurized water in the straw to flow back into the bottle, requiring you to sip until full once the bottle is reassembled. I love the fact that the cap is firmly attached to the bottle. I also like that the bottle hasn't had any mold or mildew issues after a month and a half of use. I have contacted the company and am hoping to get a different model cover (not sure if it will fit). If it works, the bottle gets at least 4 stars, but then it's no longer a Nava, but a Core Delta that is not filtered. Recommended if you don't fly.
