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.:
The silicone mouthpiece "bite valve" retains tastes and odors like no other. I would imagine this would be the same for all other CamelBak products (their chief IP lies in the bite guard, apparently). I made the mistake of using this bottle to wash down some Thanksgiving leftovers, so now my water tastes like gravy. Cool, refreshing gravy.
I'll stick to my 40oz KleenKanteen for my gen-purpose hydration needs.

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
I bought this because I needed a consistent way to follow the 8-8 rule, i.e., drink eight 8-ounce glasses of fluids each day, and to save money by not having to buy as much bottled water. I debated between the 20-oz and 25-oz versions but I liked the smaller size for its compactness and lighter weight. I love the cool-blue color. Camelback recommends rinsing the carbon filter under running water for 20 minutes, which I followed, but I believe it should be rinsed for a longer time because but I felt a minor irritation in my throat from drinking the filtered water. After two refills, the filtered water caused no other issue for me. Highly recommended!

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
Purchased to improve taste of water at rest stops, parks, etc. BUT it doesn't fit into a standard size water bottle cage on a bike, so not very useful to us.

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
I generally carry my nalgene and fill it with filtered water at home and at work for everyday use, but this little bottle comes with me every time I get on an airplane. Once I make it through security, I stop at the water fountain and get my free, filtered H2O fix for the trip. No painfully expensive airport bottled water for me! The capacity is small, which is one reason why I don't use it daily, so make sure to refill just before you get on the plane and on any stopover. Haven't had any issues with taste or leaking, though I try to toss it upright into my carry-on bag. I'm not too keen on the bite-valve on an upright water bottle - it feels more awkward than one on a tube into the reservoir on my back - but it certainly doesn't keep me from making good use of it.

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.

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
So after buying this bottle, I rushed home to use it. I put the filter in and washed it out a couple of times...Now I had recently bought a ZeroWater filter which came with a TDS Tester. So I tested the water that came out of my water bottle (it was hard to get out but I did) and it was 60! That's not good! The water from my tap tested 40 and the water from ZeroWater filter tested 0...zero is what I want...any comments? Does it take awhile?

Comments about CamelBak Groove Filter Bottle - 20 fl. oz.:
I had always disliked the tap water out there as it has a metal taste to it. Not like the water I remember as a kid growing up. Now with this filter in the bottle I can have great tasting water all over again and it it wonderful. My daughter loves hers as well. The price is a shocker but it comes with the filter and the filter is good for 3 months and the refills are the best deal ever. So the way I look at it is for the price of the bottle + the refills, we will have great tasting water for over a year all year around. Great deal and great tasting water is alive again.
