Water-to-Go (reusable bottles with filters)

Water-to-Go makes lightweight yet durable reusable water bottles, made from biodegradable sugar cane. The lids are made from recycled vegetable oil and wood pulp, both easily recycle at end of use. What makes these bottles unique, is that they contain a filter inside, so you can fill up with tap water, and off you go!

Created by the founders of a textile company (who were aghast while travelling abroad to see mountains of plastic waste), they decided to create these bottles that have filters using three technologies (mechanical filtration, electrical and activated carbon) to filter out bacteria, heavy metals and harmful chemicals.

Each filter can replace 400 plastic water bottles, working out at just over 6p per litre of water you drink. Ideal for busy mums, gym goers, commuters or backpackers, one filter (based on drinking 2 litres of water per day) should last around 3 months.

How to use this filter bottle

Fill the bottle up, then turn it upside down. Submerge the new filter in water for at least 15 minutes (do the same if the filter has been dry for some days).

The larger bottle is dishwasher-friendly (the lid and smaller bottle are hand-wash only).  Don’t drink hot liquids from wide-mouth bottles. 

How to clean reusable water bottles

Just separate the lid from the bottle, and wash both in warm soapy water, rinse and leave to dry. You can also place both parts on the top rack of your dishwasher. It’s recommended to clean daily. Leave to air-dry or with a clean tea towel.

To deep–clean, half-fill the bottle with cleaning vinegar, fill up with cold water, screw the lid on and leave for 10 to 12 hours. Hand-washing is recommended, for a longer bottle life.
