I have been a long standing fan of Camelbak products. I've had one of their hiking backpacks with the internal bladder systems for probably 15 years, in addition to other products. I've found their water systems to hold up well under rigorous use over time. Recently, they sent me one of their BPA-free Camelbak Relay water pitchers to try.
First, I found that it is easy to use, and dishwasher safe. Even Pierce, who is 7, is able to use the pitcher and refill it, as the lid is spill-proof and stays securely in place with side-locking latches. Holding 10 cups of water, it has a slimline shape so it doesn't take up too much space in the fridge.
On the top, there is a handy dial system to remind you of when you need to change the filtration system. The filters need to be changed every 4 months - they last twice as long as the leading competitor.
Then, just flip the top to refill the pitcher. I cannot stand to drink room temperature water, but I've found if I have cold water in the fridge at all times, I am much more likely to drink it throughout the day. The filter removes 97% of chlorine, taste, and odor.
We've been very pleased with Camelbak's Relay Water Pitcher. The water is very refreshing and tastes wonderful. You can find out more about their products by becoming a fan of their Facebook site. Camelbak Relay water pitchers are available at Target, Amazon, and Camelbak.com.

WE are a Camelbak house too. We finally got the ICE bottles last weekend, and they really do keep the ice longer than the CHILL bottles. Check them out.
ReplyDeleteAS for what I learned about the Relay, I saw the dimensions I needed to see if it would fit in my fridge. "Maybe" if I make room on the bottom shelf.
my husband has had camelbacks for years, too. good luck to those who enter!
ReplyDeleteHow can a filter last four months without getting bacterial growth in it? I guess thay assume you have a lot of chlorine in the water. We have well water so only a trace of chlorine when we drop it in the well.
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in a place with public water, I noticed an orange film in a filter pitcher after about 3 weeks. It was a biofilm, from bacterial growth. Icky. Our water was chlorinated but not heavily because it was mountain water.
My girls buy the Camelback water bottles.
ReplyDeleteEntered to win! Thanks for hosting a giveaway!
Look at sweet Pierce; he's got that down pat. I've actually not heard of this product but my granddaughter and family could use it; they have well water which in their case doesn't taste "well". :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Double Filter Technology that allows you to filter at the speed of your faucet. Made with plant based activated carbon, each Fresh™ Filter lasts twice as long as the leading competitor. Love the colors!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you--I like cold water. I buy bottled water because I don't like the taste of tap, but I really need to get one of these and cut down on my use of plastic.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this. And I am always trying new water and filters. I even have a water tester!!! It looks really cool, and BPA free!
ReplyDeleteThe link you listed didn't work for me but on their site about the pitchers, I learned that it removes "chloramine, chlorine, taste, and odors twice" which is good--our water here is not too tasty.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to go check this out. I have well water, but would love to filter the water at work!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how it would work with well water. I'm just not a fan of our well water at all.
ReplyDeleteI do love the look and capacity of this product you've shown!
I love that the filters last twice as long as other pitchers. I drink lots of water, daily, and having a great pitcher is a must.
ReplyDeletewe never heard of them

Hi Lisa, The first water backpack I had was one of the Camelbak ones. I liked it --and probably still have it (somewhere)... BUT--when I switched to a camera backpack I quit using the Camelbak ones...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on the new pitcher. Glad you like it. I think Camelbak is definitely a good company.
Have a great holiday weekend.
Hugs,
Betsy
I learned that one filter equals 600 plastic bottles. Wow!

ReplyDeleteit removes chloramine, chlorine, taste, and odors twice
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting! My Dad used to say, "Always drink bottled water". I have a Camelbak that hold 34 ounces of Propel or Sparkling Ice. I used it for hiking, (until I burned out on hiking)and now use it when I cycle. I agree, a good product.
ReplyDeleteI learned that its double-filter design removes chloramine, chlorine, taste, and odors twice—every time you fill and every time you pour!! Very cool. I also learned that it comes in Purple which is my favorite color

ReplyDeleteWould have to say that I learned that high altitude does cause thirst - rafflecopter - shaunie
ReplyDeleteI love how Camelbak has a lifetime guarantee on all of their products! Other expensive water bottles and pitchers always seem to break right after the warranty ends!
ReplyDeletethey have a military and tactical section.
ReplyDeletealso, their filtered bottles are "60 seconds to filtered water". this would be great for overseas when our troops are drinking foreign water that may not be completely clean or sterilized.
The filter removes 97% of chlorine, taste, and, color. That's great!
ReplyDelete600 bottles is the same as one filter!! WOW! That is a lot of plastic! Hope I win!!

ReplyDeleteI did the hydration calculator. By their assessment, I am under hydrated. I like how they show what size bottle will equal the amount of water needed per hour.
ReplyDeleteI learned that it's almost impossible to spill. Handy with kids.
ReplyDeleteI learned The American College of Sports Medicine recommends drinking 14-20 ounces of fluid 2 hours before exercise to make sure you're adequately hydrated.
ReplyDeleteWow--this is fast! I learned that this filters at the speed of the faucet!

I learned that I'm actually drinking enough water (but it would be easier if I had one of these!
ReplyDeleteI've learned that CamelBak company offer the lifetime warranty for their products! Awesome!
