Filtered drinking water bottle

FIVE DAYS IN THE LAKE DISTRICT

Water bottle used in the Lake DistrictWater-to-Go bottles provide safe refreshing water direct from the stream for Tony & Lyn in the Lake District.

"Although not an ‘exotic’ destination the water in the Lake District is very soft and myself and Lynn have had unpleasant reactions to drinking tap water there. We have been visiting The Lakes as a sixsome since 2007 and Lynn and I have had to resort to drinking bottled water. Not only that but I do tend to dehydrate very quickly resulting in headaches. This year however I had an alternative solution, the Water –to – go bottle. Each morning I was able to confidently fill the bottle from the stream which runs past the hotel; sipping from it regularly on our many walks – no headaches, even though the temperature was unseasonally high and the water tasted good too - cool and fresh all day."

WATER-TO-GO GIVES PEACE OF MIND TO LONG-HAUL TRAVELLERS

Water-to-Go bottles meant bug-free drinking water for Adam and his partner Jill during a trip to Panama in Central America.

"We were very aware that sickness from water could have ruined this trip," said Adam. "Although the water was allegedly safe to drink in Panama City, it tasted of chemicals and we weren’t sure about it. Having Water-to-Go meant we could pack the bottles with ice from our room, add tap water and have nice-tasting cold water that we felt confident about drinking."

Starting in Panama City, Water bottle in Boquete, Panamathe intrepid couple travelled down the Panama Canal and then moved on to Boquete in the mountain highlands, staying on a coffee plantation near the border with Costa Rica. In many places water supplies can be unreliable.

"The water was unsafe to drink in a number of the places we visited, so our Water-to-Go bottles were invaluable," said Adam. "The poor quality of the water, combined with temperatures in the 80s and high humidity, meant we could have struggled to stay safely hydrated without them."

Driving across to the Caribbean coast, the couple then chilled out on the island of Bocas Del Toro, returning to Panama City after a few days so they could take some trips into the rainforest.

"Water-to-Go made a big difference to us on this trip," said Adam."Even when told the water was safe, we might have reverted to bottled water, but instead we were able to rely on the Water-to-Go bottle. It gave us complete peace of mind in avoiding dangerous water-borne bugs."
