Brita Hard-Sided Plastic Premium Filtering Water Bottle (26 oz): Better-Tasting Tap Water, Less Waste
Looking for a reusable bottle that actually improves tap water taste? The Brita Hard-Sided Plastic Premium Filtering Water Bottle (26 oz) is BPA-free, leakproof, and built for daily hydration. Its activated carbon block filter reduces the taste and odor of chlorine and particulates as you sip—so water tastes clean and fresh wherever you go. One bottle filter can replace up to 300 single-use 16.9-oz bottles, helping you save money and cut plastic waste.
How it works (what it does—and doesn’t)
Inside the straw, an activated carbon block captures chlorine taste/odor and reduces particulates commonly found in municipal tap water.
Note: This is a taste-improvement filter, not a purifier. It’s intended for safe, treated tap water and does not make unsafe water potable.
