check walmart in the camping section i got one there for $5 and its awesome its brushed stainless, 1 piece bottle with no plastic liner inside. perfect for disinfecting water and its 32 ounces so its perfect for chem tab disinfection as well because all measurements for chems are based off 32 ounce army canteens

I am thinking of getting one too - I am just reading ingesting small amounts of rust isn't harmful, and various cleaning techniques can help (baking soda, bottle brushes). I think I will take the risk and just make an extra effort to make sure it's dry when it's not in use. I can't imagine that it's made of any but food-grade stainless steel...

Try EBay. I've bought from them several times and there are several listed there today in both the 100 Gallon and 200 Gallon versions. Look for the faucet mount version as some of the pictures are difficult to view clearly. I've also found some on Amazon. You won't find them at any of your local stores.

On amazon. I bought a stainless steel spigot to make kombucha. Easy to switch out and much better quality

I don't know, so I wrote to Eco Vessel to see, and will post the answer I receive. Here's what I asked: Hello - I gave you a good review on Amazon, but now someone is writing me to ask about the quality of your stainless steel, so can you please let me know how often you test the stainless steel that lines your insulated bottles and what tests are actually performed?They do say on their website that the bottles are made in China - see http://www.ecovessel.com/faq.htm

The bottles are sold or made by Pure Water Health. They have a website www.purewaterhealth.com and their phone number is 408-245-Pure. "BPA Free" is on the bottom of the bottle as well as "Approved For Drinking Water Only." Hope this helps you out.

I don't have an answer for you, Toni, but I'm with you about not buying any made in China. It shouldn't be too much to ask to be able to buy a quality kettle not made in China. Good luck!

As a retired military member, I get supporting US made products. However, I bought this faucet because it is one of the few that you can still rebuild if parts wear out. I am pretty sure it was made in the US, but I tossed out the packaging a long time ago.

Ooops. I thought your question was asking about what the bottles were made of. Sorry. I don't know where they are made but you could call the company at 800.879.2444

Sorry can respond regarding these as I did not use them. But I have other stainless steel bottles and they are fine. No metallic taste.

The only metal bottle on the market made entirely in America comes from Liberty Bottleworks. It's an aluminum bottle though. All stainless steel containers on the market are made in China except for Sigg which is made in Switzerland and not double-wall insulated. You'll have to test for lead when you get it if you're worried about it, but there's no reason anyone would put lead in Stainless Steel. You'll be looking out for other nasty chemicals instead. Put boiling water in the bottle, let it sit, then test the water...or trust that LifeLine is screening their Chinese manufacturers appropriately.

Since others are listed as being made in the U.S. and this one is not, I would assume it is not made in the U.S. This one IS clearly listed - http://www.petco.com/product/109183/Lixit-Dog-Plastic-Water-Bottle.aspx If you want to be sure you could contact Lixit here - http://www.lixit.com/contact

I just saw a dehydrator on ebay with stainless steel shelves for $269 with free shipping. It is STX DEHYDRA 1200W - XLS 10 TRAY COMMERCIAL 100% STAINLESS FOOD DEHYDRATOR. I think they are on there quite frequently. I, too, am looking for a good dehydrator, and the reviews on this Amazon one are the best I have seen. I have seen a lot of review on the ones with stainless steel trays and they apparently are NOISY. I have a small house and don't want a ton of noise, which is one of the reasons this one on Amazon appealed to me, but the plastic trays are a definite drawback. I think I will keep looking a bit longer, but I may end up going with this one, plastic or not. :-)

Hi, Yes the water bowl is made in the good old USA. It is a quality product.

I've had nearly every type of water bottle out there, from Sigg to Nalgene and everything in between, and I can tell you that the Kleen Kanteen, with its non-coated food-grade stainless steel construction is by far the best I've owned. Yes, The caps on all models I've tried fit securely and do not leak. I toss mine all over the place and have never had a problem out of them. I wouldn't recommend the reflective surface model if finger prints, grime and dents and whatnot bother you. I have a couple of the brushed finish designs and I love them all. I hope I answered your question with this novella that I've written. Cheers.

Yes, stainless. NOT made in the USA! The four I ordered are definitely lighter and thinner than my original Oneida. Not the same quality at all, though the appearance when flat on a table is very close.

I got the Stainless Works™ Stainless Steel Beverage Dispenser Replacement Spigot(Polished Finish) and it fits great. It's more durable and pulp, etc doesn't clog it like the plastic ones. It costs more, but worth it.
