Are portable water bottle filters convenient?
I’ve seen multiple portable water bottle brands that come with an insertable water filter. However, I know that with my water pitcher filter at home, it takes a little bit of time for the water to drip down and filter. Is this the case with these portable bottles as well?
Also, none of these brands state which type of filter they sell/use. Does anyone know which manufacturer sells purified, ceramic, or reverse osmosis filters?
Thanks!

I think you should know that most or all bottle water with filters come with activated carbon filters. Because of the way reverse osmosis (RO) works, I don’t think it can be used for a portable water filter. RO systems need pre- and post-filters with the RO filter in between. Also, the filter system usually comes with a storage tank.
If you want to know a good undersink RO filter, there no one better that the 5-stage Multi-Pure MP750 Plus RO (http://www.waterfilters-camping-water-purifier.com/Multi-Pure.html). It’s NSF-certified and very effective in reducing a lot of chemicals including arsenic.
Also, the reason the pitcher filters very slow is because 1) the pores are very small; 2) your water may be dirty and plugs the holes quickly.
Ones of the best bottle with filter is the Echo stainless steel water bottle which comes internal filter cartridge. It’s very popular and it’s also NSF-certified so you can be sure it’s effective in reducing contaminants.
I find a old sock the best water filter!
