Use the CamelBak Groove™ Filter bottle to turn your potable tap water into great-tasting water that you can enjoy while at home, in the office or on the go.
- Simply fill the bottle with tap water, screw the cap on and start sipping; the integrated plant-based carbon filter reduces chlorine taste and odors found in tap water
- Filter is good for up to 3 mos. and is an easy way to enjoy tap water rather than purchasing disposable bottles of water
- CamelBak Groove Filter bottle should be used to improve the taste of safe water sources only; filter does not remove viruses, bacteria or protozoa from water
- Made of Eastman Tritan™ copolyester, the bottle is completely BPA-free and is dishwasher safe (do not put filter in the dishwasher)
- Tritan copolyester provides excellent impact resistance and is suitable for both warm and cold beverages
- Bypass the potential hazards of drinking from wide openings—the CamelBak Groove bite valve virtually eliminates spills
- Just bite and sip and the beverage flows through the valve—you don't even need to tip the bottle to drink
- Bite valve has an articulating stem, so when not in use it folds down next to the bottle and stays clean
- Carry the integrated handle in the crook of a finger, or connect it to a pack or waistbelt with a small carabiner, not included
Please note: CamelBak products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
Originally went to buy a "Better Bottle" but 16 oz was too small & 25 oz seemed big, thus got this 20 oz size w/ great filter, which was perfect. Bought it just before going on a trip. Now that you can't bring water through security, this provides good tasting water from the water fountain on the other side of security so you don't have to buy expensive water from the airport vendors. Bottle will pay for itself in 2-3 trips for regular travelers. Taste tested versus Reverse Osmosis and Britta and water tasted great; way better than tap and very convenient. Unsure about the review that stated water tasted funny, maybe didn't rinse the filter before using. Highly recommend for everyday home/office use as well as travelers.

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
I usually carry two .75 liter Camelbak bottles with me to work daily filled with water from the home Brita pitcher, so when I saw this self filtering bottle I had to try it. I bought one for both my husband and myself and both of us "taste tested" our tap (city) water straight from the tap, through the Brita filter, and through the Camelbak filter. The water from the Brita filter did have a more filtered taste, but to be fair the Camelbak doesn't claim to filter out as much stuff as the Brita filter does. We both thought the water through the Camelbak filter tasted good and and much less chlorine tasting then the straight up tap water. I'm so excited that I don't have to lug around so much pre-filtered water with me anymore -- what a convenience!!! The only thing that disappointed me with the Groove versus the regular old Camelbak bottle is the smaller size. The Groove top is universal and does fit on my pretty .75 liter stainless steel bottle, but the straw doesn't reach all the way to the bottom. Hopefully in the future they'll make some prettier Groove bottles and some cozy sleeves that are sized just from them -- the cozy sleeves for the .75 liter bottles are way too big.

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
If the size of this bottle were bigger, it would be getting five stars. But with the small size that it is, I can't give it more than one. I am constantly refilling it. Constantly. I can't make it through a class without it going from full to empty... and not just the hour and a half TTH class. In the MWF 1 hour classes, I take a few drinks and it's empty. Do yourself a favor and purchase a larger bottle. Get this when they increase the size. It's too small (I filled it up before I wrote this, and it's already 3/4s gone... and it took me less than 5 minutes to fill out this review).

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
The Camelbak Groove bottle is a handy alternative to have when your water source is unknown. The bottle itself has all the hallmarks of high-quality Camelbak construction that we expect. The extra appeal of the Groove bottle is that when I am at the gym or hiking and a water source is one that is widely-shared or unknown to me, I know I can get filtered, great-tasting water.

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
I intended on using this product at work, when I go to the climbing gym and for travel, since I fly 4-8 times a month. I had gotten this as a gift this past December and upon using it, it constantly sucked up bubbles/air with the water and leaked horribly when placed sideways even when it was closed or tipped. I looked at the lid, looked on the Camelback website and did what I could to keep it from leaking (checked the little valve, but it didn't stop, so I returned it and got a new bottle at REI. After using my new bottle here are a few things I realized:
- If you fly/go to high altitudes keep in mind that this is wear and tear on the bottle and it can mess with it's leak-proofness. If you read the manual, they recommend that you keep the bottle upright and that there could be water spurts. DO NOT leave it sideways - this will lead to a pool of water whereever you leave it!
- The water sometimes tastes filtered, and after using it for several months, i sometimes felt a minor irritation in my throat due to the charcoal. It went away after the filter was used 4-5x. Otherwise, I thought the water tasted fine.
- Capacity is small, but camelback expects that you fill up the bottle 3-4x a day.
Due to my water situation at work, I tend to tolerate a lot and this has helped me drink more water. Hopefully second time is a charm and that this new bottle lasts!

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
I followed all instructions, and the water tastes better than most tap water, but nearly any bottled water tastes a little better. It definitely gets rid of chlorine flavor and I'll continue to use it while considering other options.

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
This water bottle is wonderful if you're in a place where the tap water tastes bad (such as Los Angeles). I love that I can fill it up anywhere, including bathroom sinks and water fountains, and don't have to worry about how the water would taste. I only wish I had gotten it sooner for traveling to countries where I didn't know anything about the water quality. It would have saved me a lot of money on bottled water! The filter does seem a little overkill in places with adequate tap water, but it is still a nice size and design, and you can never be too safe about your water.

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
First of all, I love this water bottle. I have been looking for a while for a good filtering water bottle. I bought this three months ago to replace purchasing bottled water and to stay hydrated on the go. It goes with me EVERYWHERE! The size is perfect. It holds just the right amount of water so I know that after four fill ups, I have surpassed my 8 glasses of water. It has made the water at work and the gym extremely tolerable to drink. I love the bite valve on this bottle. It doesn't leak and you get such a surge from it that you don't even realize how fast you guzzle the water. The bottle is extremely durable and easy to carry. I have even put the full bottle in my purse and it has never once leaked. There is nothing I would change about it.

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
I'm not really sure I understand the purpose of this bottle. I guess if you live in an area where your water tastes bad there may be some benefit to filtering it. I didn't really notice any major difference between my San Francisco tap water and the filtered version. The bottle leaks slightly. I find that using the mouthpiece feels very unnatural and almost irritating. The cleaning instructions are rather extensive in their detail. I'm all in favor of putting an end to serial bottle usage and resulting waste but this isn't a product I could recommend. I'd prefer a plain bottle with a tight-fitting lid.

Merchant response: As a reminder, the filter in this bottle is a taste filtration unit intended for use with existing potable sources (i.e. tap water). The filtration unit on the Groove bottle does not treat for microbiological or viral contaminants, like those commonly found in the wilderness, and should not be used as the primary filtration protection from unknown sources.
