you guys think if i put fruit in the water bottle would it get stuck in the filter? have you guys tried it?

I have not tried that, but with the small holes in the filter im sure it would clog the filter. I use it for all my drinking water without fruit. Why would you want to filter your fruit through a charcoal filter??? Not a good idea in my opinion...Hopes this helps...Betty

Haven't tried it. A slice of lemon probably OK, but no small chopped fruit. Probably not a good idea since it will likely significantly reduce life of filter. Best to add water from filter bottle to your fruit in second bottle.

This was a gift, so I have not used. I would guess that if fruit did not have small seeds and it wasn't pureed, it should be okay.

Of course it will. The filter has holes for the water to filter through so I imagine pieces of fruit will get lodged in those holes. I'd only use the bottle for liquids, as was intended. Good luck with the fruit. Regina Maxim

the filter just sits in there. I have never had an issue of it coming out when pouring.

Joey, just to let you know, I pour my coconut water into my coconut/pineapple organic fruit juice because it tastes better that way. As far as I know, there is absolutely no reason that should affect any of the properties of the coconut water. It still is coconut water when we pour it into the sweeter organic fruit juice-it just tastes better. The coconut water remains the same as far as I know.

no i didn't. i wash and cut the whole fruit and put it in and filled up with water. you can use the fruit a couple of times to make it more cost effective. hope this helps

I did not /I put a bottle of water in the freezer and place in on top Of my lunch. Then I have very cold water for lunch. I take my fruit out because it gets to cold

Two thoughts... First, try sucking more. Each time you fill the bottle, especially the very first time on each filter, it takes me 4-6 sucks to get the water up through the filter. Another possibility is that the straw part is not open the whole way. For some reason, it has a point the it stops that looks open but is not all the way, then you pull further to open completely. It is like the way some cars have two levels to push down to open a car window a little or the whole way down.

Unfortunately, Brita products are only for Brita products. You would have to secure it at the top of your bottle and than squeeze the bottle so water can go through the filter. If you are able to secure it and squeeze the bottle it might work.

In my experience with it, not bad at all. The water goes through the filter anyway so it tastes fresh. The more it use it the more the filter will wear away though so make sure you keep up with changing the filter as necessary.

Never thought about it, but why not! Try it. You will need to rinse the base out afterwards. Make sure the juice is really solidly frozen. Great idea for summer.

I would say it would get stuck. Also, if you don't get every bit of the smoothie liquid out, it will mold. My husband put kool aide in my sons, and despite washing it in the dishwasher it got moldy. I hesitate using bleach in anything, so we had to toss it. Sorry my response was long. I do love the bottle for ice water I use it everyday.

I've done that and so far, I doesn't have that taste. I even left juice in for a day and after rinsed it out with hot water, it didn't have the taste of juice when I refilled it with water

Interesting. My filter unscrews quite easily. Perhaps give it a better tug. Good luck.

I tried pineapple with it and it did not do a good job. The filter got clogged almost immediately. I have not heard of any juicer that does good with the softer fruits. I have found it better to make smoothies with those.

I bought this. The water does not go through the filter. It bubbles around the side/rim of the filter to get to the bottom of the flask. I would like to talk to the manufacturer. You would think the water would have to go through the filter to do what needs to be done. A phone number please?

Yes, it should work to kill bacteria and microbes on the fruits and vegetables. After adding the activated parts A and B together into the amount of water you want to purify, put the fruits and vegetables into the water and wait the recommended amount of time for the solution to purify the water. I would recommend that you prewash the F & V prior to adding to the treated solution, so you do not have any particulate in your treated water. Reserve the treated water for drinking.

Good question. If you were to think, the interior of the plastic might affect the taste of water, it probably isn't the case. I just find water tasting how it is supposed to be.

I invested in a pitcher with the loose leaf tea filter and adding the infuser was a nice addition. It keeps the fruit in the pitcher for more flavor VS it going into the glass. Hope this helps.
