Review on 💧 Bobble Classic Water Bottle: Reusable BPA-Free Filtered Hydration, Neon Pink, 18.5 oz. by Corey Krull

I ordered 3 bottles of balls. Two of them came with spin-on filter elements and the carbon filter was wrapped in plastic. This pink one came with a latch assembly and the filter was in a cage instead of a plastic case. When I rinsed it off with water, the charcoal didn't wash out unlike the other two. So I'm wondering if mine was: 1. A new version? 2. fake or 3. used? The packaging looked intact like the others, but the label made every effort to say: NEW. Anyone else have experience with them?
