Does this bottle meet EPA standards for water purification?

Hello, I don't think it has a formal approval. In my opinion it does a very good job. I have filtered the dirtiest water out hiking without issues. I do add the recommended drops of bleach as an added precaution.

I have no idea - ask them. I love the Berkey and the taste of the water. Since they promote purification I would think it does meet EPA standards. Check out their web site. Hope this helps.

the number inside the triangle is 4....BPA free...next time however I would buy the hard sided bottle...the filter is very short and the nozzle is hard to get the water from..I notice the hard sided one has a straw and the filter is the entire length of the bottle. I hope this helps.

I have two of these and they ARE BPA free. Just checked the Nalgene website to confirm.

Yes, the clear plastic goes inside the bottle. There shouldn't be any leaks

Its been awhile since I last pyrchased these bottles, but I think they are BPA free. They were very popular with my kids.

Yes, the liquid does come into contact with plastic. Yes, there is a plastic dropper inside. It is a vegan company, so I would think the plastic is BPA-free and all of that stuff. I'm confident they make sure the bottle is what it should be, but I am not certain.

Yes it is BPA free. When you get it, there will be a BPA free sticker on it. I love these bottles for the kids.

The previous answer is correct: the cap assembly is lined with some type of plastic. Since the metal part of the bottle screws inside of the plastic, most of the plastic in the lid is covered unless some liquid gets down into the threads somehow. I would guess the area of plastic exposure is a square inch or a so. The label states the bottle is BPA free.

The hard plastic bottles were the things that had BPA in them. The reservoir is California Proposition 65 compliant and made of a different material. If Cali says it's safe I'd say it's safe.

I just looked up the information on Rubbermaid's website. It is BPA free. If you look at the link I've attached, you won't see it in the text, but you'll see the "NO BPA" symbol right underneath the image of the bottle. http://www.rubbermaid.com/Category/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?CatName=Beverage&Subca;tId=BeverageStorage&Prod;_ID=RP091888

I don't think that I came across a definitive answer... The bottom of the Kelap Coconut Oil carries the PETE 1 symbol. The following information came from www.nrdc.org/thisgreenlife: "#1 (PET or PETE) plastic is the kind used for bottled water bottles, which are generally regarded as safe. They have been shown to leach antimony into the water in a couple of studies, but at levels considered safe by the EPA. The scare about their leaching DEHA if reused, which you may have come across, turns out to be an urban legend. If there is any risk from reuse, it probably comes from bacterial contamination." An interesting twist is that just because an item is PBA free, doesn't mean that it is health risk free. Google "Is PETE 1 PBA free?" and follow some of the leads. Also contact the Kelapo company itself. I have no definitive answer. Personally, I am at the point that "if PETE 1 is safe for one time use, I am going to use it for now, since it is a quality product. An alternate is to put the coconut oil in another container, such as glass or stainless steel. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It's a crazy world when one is trying to eat healthy, and one has to worry about the containers that the healthy foods come in!

Yes, the bottle is BPA safe. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars Value special, January 8, 2010 By John S. Carusone This review is from: Rubbermaid INC 3161-RD-EDAY1 Chug Bottle Beverage Container 20 Oz., (Colors May Vary) (Tools & Home Improvement) I echo the positive reviews. Personally, I hand wash my bottle as I believe this is the safest way to guarantee no leaching problems. This bottle is BPA safe, but over time, dishwashers get very hot and who knows.

It doesn't notate that it's BPA free. However, the plastic components are only on the base and handle. They really don't come into direct contace with the water inside.

The recommendation on the bottle states to use purified water or juice. I filter my tap water with a brita system.

not really. I taste more of the water's impurities or elements than the bottle itself if left in there for a while (several days)

You are correct in that the bottle's body has a triangle that is blank in the center. Under the triangle is says "BPA free". Maybe you should contact Rubbermaid directly and post your findings on Amazon. Thanks for your research, in advance.
