I was gifted this product before hiking the Lycian Way in Turkey in November 2019. I have used the Sawyer Filter before which has been great for me. However, I was also looking for something more convenient and quicker so that I didn’t have to wait to filter the water first before I drank it and WaterWell is that.
Pros
- Good size, good colour
- The nozzle is protected to stop cross contamination
- You can use the bottle as a water filter, or just as an ordinary water bottle (it comes with a normal straw)
- If you carry it with you and use it, you will stop spending money on water and also stop buying plastic water bottles. Everything really does help when it comes to the environment.
-Environmentally friendly company
Since then I’ve used it while flying and just out and about normally. I also took it with me to hike the Overland Way in Tasmania in Feb 2020.

- I think it takes a little while to get use to sucking water through the filter, you do need to suck harder to get the water out. But you do get use to it.
Highly recommend and will be using it for all my future trips!

Great bottle - fantastic peace of mind for when I'm out adventuring!

Love the bottle! It makes it so much easier to have a light bag on a hike knowing you can just find some water and this amazing bottle will filter it so it’s safe to drink!

The replacement Bottle is much better. There still requires an element of drawing the water through the filter but its now much easier and understandable given the filtering action it is capable of. Credit to the Sales Team for their determination in resolving the problem and their quick action

Best water bottle!!!! Amazing!!!!

More options sizes will be good and to keep water hot ( if is possible with filler )for much longer

The only thing that I had issue with was when I was really thirsty I couldn't drink through the filter as fast as I wanted to. I'm not sure if I didn't have the straw connected as well or what since a few times it did fall off, after I had messed with it. But overall it is a good deal for the price. I like the color, the straws are great sizes to clean. I had no problems with leaks

Use this bottle allows me to limit the use of plastic and is very convenient for filtering water from fountains when I go excursions.
I can't do without it anymore

Great thanks, I promote this item to me students when going on travel expeditions.

This is the perfect bottle for travellers. Amazing filter and we love that the flow will reduce and stop once it’s time has finished! That’s often the biggest mystery with filter bottles - you’re not sure when to replace them but this is fool proof! Amazing colour and durability also. NO LEAKS!!
Highly recommended.

Very high quality and simple to use. Its designed for a fresh water source such as a tap etc but not still water i.e. stagnant pond. The benefits when travelling our great and already just in the UK when drinking from an old public tap we felt reassured. Also very useful in an old hotel in France again very reassuring and a very pleasant taste. Will be taking it to France and Spain again next week superb and simple. Love it

I have just received my amazing WaterWell bottle, which I have already used on cycle in the Surrey Hills, where I filled it with water from a stream. It was easy to use and the resulting water tasted great and fresh. Next week Im off hiking in the mountains of Andalusia and the bottle will be the first thing I pack!
Kerry S.
I bought my WaterWell in preparation for a year long trip and I'm thrilled to say that I drank from every country we visited - from taps, rivers, streams, waterfalls and lakes and remained healthy throughout. It is my constant companion and I genuinely feel lost without it! I have continued to use my bottle back in the UK when hiking and without the filter for day to day use. I recommend this to anyone travelling or hiking. It saved me so much money and I was happy not to add to the ever-growing single use plastic waste.

This company has great values and great products. My water bottle makes everything taste amazing!
Nathanael K.
This bottle saved me a lot of money from buying plastic bottles of water every two days. Water tastes amazing and seems pretty clean. The only thing that could improve is to be able to pour some of that fresh filtered water into a glass. Other than that, it’s a great investment.

I love these bottles and take them on any activity I go on. They make perfect light gym bottles if you remove the filter. But having them out in the hills is where they really come into their own. When on a hike or a run and running low on water, you can just top up with some fresh running water from nearby and its already chilled. Fits well in the hand and takes up little room in a pack. Couldn't find a fault. Harrison @felllfoodie

The bottle has a great build and it is a good size. Haven't had a chance to use the filter yet but It's inspired me to go camping and test it out!

Water bottle is stylish and functional. Service from company great

This is my 2nd bottle , I take the empty bottle up the headwaters where I go fishing. It seemed crazy to have to carry water when you are standing in a river all day.
I had the 1st bottle for about a year but one of the 'hinge lugs' that attached the drinking mouthpiece snapped off & I could not see any option for just buying this. To offer you an enhancement, I found that walking with the empty bottle attached to my belt meant that the filters constantly knocked on the inside of the bottle, so I have bought some small (food hygiene grade) silicon rings that sit at the bottom of the filter deadening thr sound.
Hope this helps.

Great bottle and love the fact i can use to filter water in the great outdoors. Although not yet tried anything more than tap water yet

This water bottle really surprised me. It was still working at -20 degrees C at 5550 meters on the Kala Patthar summit, and provided me with more than 4 litres of water per day on a 15-day trek.
I was on a Gokyo and EBC trek in the Everest region and used this Water Well throughout (bottled water is available but very expensive). My girlfriend trekked with a LifeStraw. Neither of us became ill (I have no knowledge of what 99.99% means but could see dark particles left over in the bottle most times I finished it).
The main difference in quality was the durability and ruggedness of the Water Well. The LifeStraw became unusable above 4200 meters because the straw kept freezing on sub-zero nights, and wouldn't defrost until mid afternoon the next day (she had to use water purification tablets instead). The WaterWell didn't have this problem and I was still drinking from it at 5550metres at what must have been -20, when it was so cold that all my camera batteries instantly ran dry (I sneezed on my coat and it froze within seconds).
Over the 15 days I kept the bottle on the outside of my backpack (for easy access) and didn't experience any leaks or damage. I also like that the straw is easily detachable so I can now use the bottle as an everyday gym bottle now I'm home.
In the past I've trekked with a Steri Pen but the rechargable batteries required take up too much space and are useless when you go places with electricity. I was unsure before visiting Everest (hence me and my girlfriend brought different straws, hoping one would work well!) but for the price and quality I don't need anything more on an expedition again.

I've tried a number of different water bottles over the years, but this is definitely one of the best. Not only is it sturdy and easy to use, but the filtration system seems to be really effective. My health is important to me, so small things like drinking filtered water make me feel like I'm doing everything possible to stay fit and healthy. This bottle is a convenient size, doesn't leak in my gym bag, and means that I never have to buy bottles of water when I'm out and about as I'm always packing my own. Very happy with this purchase.

I used when I was in Africa Ghana. I love this bottle. The water was tastless and clean. Sometimes did the water taste better. For me it was perfectly closed and no dripping.
Alex
I am a keen hill walker and canoeist so for me this is a fantastic idea, if i should run out of water half way up Ben Nevis or on canoeing on a lake. Testing it out, at my work its well made and easy to use. Also I was a little worried that the filter would leave a taste but that's not the case and my water tastes clean and fresh. After receiving mine i have actually ordered 2 more as christmas presents.
Lisa G
This is an amazing product which massively surpassed my expectations. As someone who spends a fortune on bottled water (as my tap water is so hard and has a really yucky taste), I have found this to be just perfect. It makes my horrible tasting water taste great again and I love the fact that it removes any bacteria that shouldn't be there. I'm already saving a fortune on my weekly shopping through no longer having to buy mineral water.I was also really hoping that it was going to be light so that I can carry it around without it feeling bulky - it totally ticks this box also. I take it out on my walks and love the fact that I can clip my keys onto it - a nifty little feature. All in all - not found anything to dislike about it! Very happy customer.

I was impressed with the quality of this item, but does it actually work? Well yes it was very good. I took it on a walking holiday in the Lake District. Walking makes me thirsty but you can only carry so much with you so you have to ration it. With this, you can simply fill it up from any source of water and it filters out all the parasites and bacteria so you don't have to worry that the water you're drinking will make you sick.
You can see immediately that it's working. Of course you can't see the bacteria, but when you put dirty water in, it comes out clean as if it's straight from a bottle. It's a sturdy bottle. I dropped mine onto a rock and it was fine. It also goes through the dishwasher with no problems so you know it's totally clean ready for the next trip out.
When you work out that you can filter 1000 litres of water through it, it's very good value compared to buying bottled water. I've started using it on my desk to filter tap water too. Much better for the environment than buying lots of plastic bottles of water.

I have been using this water bottle now for a few months and really rate it. I have found it to be an excellent general purpose bottle, at the gym, up a mountain, etc.
The black metal clip is also super handy, i tend to clip my keys to my bottle or my bottle to my bag.
Constantin Neacsu
Great little bottle! Love how it makes tap water less metallic and softer. Convenient design. It's perfect for me when I go on airplane trips as I can just empty it before security and refill it after, keeping my water quality high. The size is also perfect for this sort of thing. Can't wait to test it on the trails.

WaterWell is easily one of the best travelling accessories I’ve ever used. I travelled round South East Asia and used it with tap water and water from a waterfall whilst treking, the water tasted normal. My partner and I didn’t get ill. It’s a handy design as it attaches to my backpack easily with the carabiner included. I had tried similar bottles before but you had to suck extremely hard to get any water from them and they often leaked. This one is much easier to drink from and so far so good there are no leaks from it! The only thing I would prefer is if there were different colours available so I could easily identify which was my bottle and which was my partners!!

As someone who has traveled to many unsavory and unhygienic places through the course of my duties and career I know only too well the dangers of “less that pure” water. One of my responsibilities was to actually set up water points and I am fully aware of the requirements. If only I had had something like this for my own personal use and consumption in my early days. There is not too much point in describing it as the product description and my photographs cover just about everything. It is a good size, comfortable, effective and pretty much fool proof as the inbuilt system prevents the flow of water once the filtration limit of 1000 litres has been reached. Do not waste your money if you are holidaying in the UK and just want a water bottle as this is far more than just a water bottle which can be picked up for under a fiver, this is a life saver. It would however, be suitable for camping and hiking in the UK if you intend using untreated ground sources like lakes and rivers. Do spend your money if you are traveling anywhere where you know that the water treatment process is inadequate and this covers an awful lot of the rest of the world. I will be taking this with me the next time I go abroad (India). For the purposes of this review I did try it with river water and found that it works perfectly (although I am not a microbiologist and cannot test the water for microbes and pathogens but I certainly felt fine). I received this item in return for an unbiased review. Personally I feel that something as important as clean healthy water is a subject to important to ignore and I was very glad to be offered this product.
