Say goodbye to plastic water bottles and hello to pure water.  We were recently turned on to Water Geeks’ stainless steel reusable water bottles and we really like them.  The filter is activated each time you take a sip.  It’s as if you were sucking water through a straw.

Just fill the bottle with tap water, and eliminate chlorine, bad taste, odor, lead — the replaceable filter “effectively filters tap water contaminants plus bacteria and other potential ground water contaminants.”  The ergonomic design feels good in your hand.  The 12-ounce size is available in several vibrant bottle colors and tap covers.  Each filter lasts a long time (up to 800, 12-ounce servings).  ($21.49/Canadian per bottle; $11/Canadian per filter); find @ watergeeks.com
