Review on LifeStraw Universal Water Filter Bottle Adapter Kit – Fits Hydroflask, Camelbak, Kleen Kanteen, Nalgene, and More – White by Chris Burns

I love this concept and was hooked on it. Like wearing an ICanBreathe mask (organic cotton + carbon filter) on my face to filter the air wherever I go, this should be a portable water filter so I can find clean water anywhere. Many reviews implied that this would help purify tap water and improve its taste. It wasn't my experience at all. I followed the directions. I tried deep cleaning and extra soaking but nothing helped. It made all the water I drank through it taste awful. Sometimes I brush my teeth with charcoal so I know what charcoal tastes like and that's why all water tastes like charcoal. I don't know if mine is defective, but everything seems fine except that it's very difficult to suck water through it. A few sips of water make my cheeks and mouth tired. And then, as I said, the water I get tastes like charcoal. There is absolutely nothing I can do about this expensive, cumbersome thing. Complete garbage for me. Very disappointed.
