Loving my bobble... Want One of Your Own?

Have you seen bobble yet? 
 
Mar 3 Bobble 001

bobble is a patented, reusable waterbottle that filters water as you drink….  made from recycled PET that is free of BPA, Phthalates and PVC, and is 100% recyclable.  It uses a carbon-based filter (that is the colored piece) that removes chlorine and organic contaminates from municipal tap/potable water.

Each filter equates to about 40 gallons/150 litres of water.  With daily use they should last about 2 months… and if you register online, Bobble will send you an email reminder to change your filter!

Before drinking from your bobble for the first time, you just need to fill the bottle with tap water, put the filter in place and then squeeze the water through the filter to activate it and remove any loose particles of carbon.

I was given the opportunity to test drive this product recently and I have been in love with it ever since..  bobble comes in a few different sizes… 385 ml (about 1-1/2 cups), 550 ml (about 2 cups) and a 1 litre jug.  I chose to try the 550 ml bottle because I thought it was a nice, portable size.

It fits perfectly in my hand…

in my running belt….

and also in the cup holders on the ellipticals and treadmills at my gym… but I am not allowed to take pictures there to show you that.
 
I have been taking mine to the gym every time I visit lately, and have been asked by several patrons and gym staff as well, about it. I also carried it in a belt on my recent speedy 5 km run. It has become my go-to waterbottle when I head out for a walk or a drive in the car.   When I come home, I just fill it up with water and put it into the fridge…. next time I want it, it is all ready to go.

The spout is very easy to pull and push open and closed for quick drinks of water while I am running or working out.  And it does come with a separate little plastic cap that you can use to cover the spout if you like.  I use that when I take it to Flow Yoga and Body Pump classes where it is likely to get knocked over… that way I know the spout is clean to place to my mouth.

A little warning… bobble has not been tested for added mixes or flavorings.  Accordingly, it is not recommended using any liquid other than potable water with bobble.

  2. Sounds like a great product! (Not entering the comp as not in Canada.) Do you have to change the filter part? I have a filter jug because the water in my place is really really hard, but I never get round to changing the filter in it...

  9. Hi Spec-Elle: I am not in Canada, so cannot win, but I still want to say that this product is clever, cute, and EXACTLY what I need. This would be great to tote along on a mud runnish walkish event as the filter would keep out any mud or dust particles that tried to sneak in. Hmmm, you mention the bobble fitting in your belt. I think it would fit nicely in my cleavage. Yup!

  11. Yah! A giveaway for Canadians only! I am in!
    I have a terrible time with water bottles; I lose them, they break or they just don't end up feeling right in my hand. I'd love to give this one a try!

    I would take it to the gym with me and use it re-hydrate during my group fitness classes.

    Heading over to Twitter right now!
