I think that I've tested my Aquapure bottle to the absolute max over the last 3 years. Took it on a 2 month motorbike trip in India, a place that tests any stomach, up through Assam into Nagaland and then over the Bramhaputra River up into the Himalayas. Filled the bottle from here there and everywhere and didn't get sick once.
The next year was a 2,000 mile bike trip in Indonesia riding from the South of Sulawesi up to the forests in the North. It all got pretty remote with some very dubious water sources. Same bottle, same filter stomach still good!!
This year was again a couple of thousand miles on motorbikes around Uganda, lots of trekking into forests to catch up with gorillas, chimpanzees and monkeys, walking with giraffes and rhinos (they're remarkably peaceful there!) and generally going off piste where you can't carry loads of water, you've just got to make do with what you can get. Once again my stomach will testify that whatever went into that bottle, clean healthy water came out the top!
Best thing of all is that it makes the water taste good and that's important in those climates where you've got to keep yourself hydrated - those roads can be tricky enough without dehydration making you dizzy!
Simple answer? I would never travel again without my Aquapure!

Excellent product. A friend on a trip to Mongolia shared hers. Saved me! I bought one when I returned home. A bit costly to have it shipped to the US but it will pay for itself quickly.

I've used this extensively in remote locations in Asia and Africa as well as just for filtering tap water in Europe.
I've never had any reactions from the water I have filtered through the Aquapure.
Locations include Senegal, Nepal, India, Costa Rica and Peru +

My favourite water purifier. It's my second one. The water is flowing much faster. New filter? Change in bottle materials? Very nice. I use it everyday and everywhere.

Paid all taxes which brought the cost up by an additional €22 which made the filter very expensive. But it arrived the day after I left so turned out to be very expensive considering I never got to use it. Insult to injury the company believed I had the filter a week and asked for a review. It is a great produce but the delivery and customs charges made this twice as expensive as the book price. I ordered it well in advance of my travels

I bought the Aquapure Traveller before a recent trip and it was one of the best purchases I've made. Knowing I could safely drink water without worrying about contamination took away a lot of stress. It's compact, easy to use and has already saved me money on bottled water. I wouldn't travel without it now.

I have tried countless travel bottles and this is by far the best! The level of protection it provides is better than any other product. I use it it hiking and have no concerns. Plus, Pure Hydration offers great service!

I’ve been using the Aquapure Traveller water purification bottles for the past 18 years on expeditions all over the world, and I still genuinely believe they are one of the best bits of kit you can carry.

Simple, reliable, durable, and incredibly effective they’ve travelled with me through remote mountain regions, long treks, and international projects where clean drinking water is essential. Being able to safely refill from local water sources not only reduces weight and cost, but also massively cuts down on plastic waste.

On a recent 15-day trek and project in Nepal, we did a basic calculation and estimated that using these bottles could save around 4,000 single-use plastic bottles. That alone shows the environmental impact a simple piece of equipment can have.

For me, it’s one of those rare products that has stood the test of time. After nearly two decades of real-world use, I still see the Aquapure Traveller as a fantastic water filtration and purification system for anyone involved in trekking, expedition work, travel, or outdoor adventure.

As a dedicated hill walker I have found the Aquapure Traveller water bottle to be great in the hills. It is so simple to use and no pumping! Just fill it up, and drink straight from the bottle. It has now the only one I take into the hills.

Earlier this summer I was lucky enough to travel to the Andean Mountains in South America with a charitable organisation. I travelled with about 24 other students and the leaders who organised the expedition. We travelled across the Andes in Peru through to Bolivia and Chile over the space of three and half weeks. I'd bought an Aquapure filter bottle a few weeks beforehand, after being recommended by a friend who used his on a trip to the Himalayas. I'd wanted something safe and yet easy to use on my trip; to cut down on things such as purification tablets which I've found, leave a taste in the water before. I found out quite a few people on my trip had bought the Aquapure bottles too, and whilst out there we were all extremely chuffed with them! I cannot tell you how easy it makes it for you, simply filling it up and screwing the top on, then that's it and its ready to drink! Whilst on the walks our fellow trekkers had to stop for sometimes 15 minutes at a time, to fill their bottles up from a mountain spring and sort out all their purification tablets and droplets, which tended to take 30 minutes or more to work - we could simply fill our bottles full of water, screw on the top and set off again, ready to quench our thirsts with the now fresh clean water. One of my best memories though has to be sitting up on a mountain 5000m above sea level and watching the sun rise above the clouds, having filled my Aquapure bottle 20 mins earlier and knowing it had only been running down from a little mountain waterfall 20 minutes or so before. It was so cool and refreshing and certainly beat the chemical tasting water everyone else had to put up with. All in all, the bottle is one of the best things I took with me on the trip, and I plan on buying another one so I have two for when I do the Canadian Rockies next year. Its so unbelievably easy to use and look after, and you can't beat the unforgettable refreshing taste of the Andean mountain spring water I was able to use it for!

Just used my APT for a ten week 'tramping' holiday around some of the best and most remote walking routes in New Zealand. It performed perfectly and helped me to realise my ambition of carrying only a 50 litre rucksack for walks of up to five days at a time!

I am a doctor and I help with Duke of Edinburgh expeditions in the Lakes and abroad (in the Pyrenees). We try and encourage those on expeditions to treat water for drinking but I worry that thirsty people do not always follow instructions! Your Aquapure Traveller is an excellent product and I will be encouraging all those on future expeditions to invest in one.

I have used my APT now on every continent - including Antarctica. I'm not usually 'roughing it' and often the water is reputedly 'safe' anyway. However I have never yet had a serious illness or 'Delhi belly' whilst travelling, even though I've been to Delhi!

During my time in Europe, even though the water there is relatively safe, I didn't dare risk drinking straight out of the tap. Every morning I would fill my bottle with tap water from the hostel, and refill it during the day from taps, and water sources in the street. During this time my friends would have to buy bottles of mineral water. The Aquapure traveller system allowed me to travel in Europe, without having to worry about cost of water which can amount to a small fortune, over the entire course of my trip I cant imagine how much I would have spent without it. Not only has it helped this traveller control his budget, there has been an additional environmental benefit. The number of plastic bottles that I have had to discard whilst on my trip has been minimal, this is especially good in countries where there economy, and government, are unable to set up recycling plants. And yet there are more benefits to this system that I never thought of prior to being away.

During the course of my trip I have been trekking all over the world (China, Tibet, Nepal, Loas, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia), as well as horse riding in Mongolia for two weeks. During all of these times I have carried my water bottle, which I have filled from any available source, never with any problems. Always safe in the knowledge that my water is safe.

During these forays into the countryside I have only had to carry only my water bottle, whilst my companions have been weighed down with litres and litres of mineral water. The only time I have ever had a problem was in the rainforest of Malaysia, where for a couple of hours was unable to locate a water source! My friend had run out of water earlier in the day, and was eternally grateful when we stumbled across a river and I could hand him clean water.

As I have travelled several people have taken an interest in my bottle, many at first not believing that it could actually work, and thought me foolish for placing absolute trust in it. Over the course of a couple of days, when they saw that I hadn't gotten ill, they soon changed their tune, and many have told me that it will be at the top of their Christmas/birthday wish list.

Thank you, once again for this product.

We are currently travelling through East Africa using our aquapure traveller as our main source of water (filtering water form the Nile River, mountain streams as well as a wide range of hotel taps) and so far we have remained free of any exciting water borne pathogens.

I went out to work in Kazakhstan for VSO in September and although I was living in Almaty the tap water was not to be trusted so the aquapure traveller saved me from buying bottled water. I also took a trip up into the high Altai mountains for some "wild camping" when the system was invaluable. However, more interesting than this was the subsequent trek I did in October. I went with my sister to Nanda Devi. This is the highest mountain in the Indian Himalayas and at 7,000 metres is very inaccessible. We trekked through virgin forests of bamboo, rhododendron trees,etc to an altitude of 4,000 metres and always used the system. It was especially useful at the high altitude camps when we had access only to streams or rivers. We were never ill, our water always tasted fresh. The system was an essential piece of equipment.

Im back from a successful trip climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and Id just like to say how pleased I was with my aquapure traveller.
All my colleagues were using purification tablets, and even when they used the extra tablets to take away the taste, they all moaned about the taste of their water, while mine tasted fresh every time!

I used it a few weeks ago whilst trekking in Nepal. It really is the most useful piece of equipment and saves carrying litres of water.

It had been a most unusual day. At dawn, I had risen into the sky in a hot air balloon over the sand dunes at Sossusvlei, Namibia and gazed down at the spectral scene beneath. Breakfast included champagne, smoked game, fresh fruit and six varieties of fresh bread, served at a long, cloth-bedecked table in the desert. Later, the temperature reached 45 degrees as we trundled along in our battered truck. We had already stopped three times to pour precious drinking water into a spitting, boiling radiator, and now we were once again grinding to a halt. At dusk, our driver informed us that the head gasket had blown. From now on we were on our own, 250 kilometres from anywhere. No traffic had passed in three hours; the view from any angle was of sand, rock and an occasional thorn bush. The blinding light of the day had retreated from the encroaching shadows of night. We were stressed, tired, worried, and disheartened. But most of all, we were thirsty. Thirsty for cool, soothing water, parched from endlessly discussing our options as much as from lack of liquid. What was left in our tank was rusty, a watery grave for several tiny insects.

So it was with relief that I withdrew my aquapure traveller water bottle from my locker, to envious stares. It was a moment of resignation. As the pure, safe water refreshed my body, anger and fear dissipated, and optimism took hold. Sure enough, within an hour we were squashed into the back of a utility vehicle - albeit alongside a putrid dead goat - en route to warm hospitality at a nearby farm, which had been hidden from our site on the road. This was not the only occasion I was glad to have my aquapure traveller water bottle, but it is the most memorable!

I have recently returned from a five-week trip around northwest India. I took along an aqua pure traveller bottle. It proved to be invaluable. The bottle was perfect for everyday use and small enough to go unnoticed in a daypack unless needed. I used it on several overnight bus journeys when bottled water was in short supply, and regularly to purify suspect water in hotels and hostels for tooth-brushing etc. On occasion I found myself with absolutely no access to treated/boiled/bottled water: notably during a trek in the Kashmiri Himalayas, and also in a shorter camel safari into the Thar Desert. On these occasions I used the bottle to treat stream and well water that I knew to be contaminated by animal and human waste, without any detriment to my health. I have absolute confidence in your product, and would recommend it to any traveller. It is very reassuring to know that you always know that you have access to clean, pure drinking water in the filth and heat of the Third World.

From my previous mountaineering experience and experience on courses such as the Commando course and Survival courses, I'd used most methods of water purification pumps, tablets etc and they all worked. But the great advantage of the apt bottles is that you can't forget about purifying the water or become lazy about doing so. It's so easy. Whether I'm out in the desert, crossing swamps or just crammed in the back of a bush taxi with 20 plus people, the bottle is never out of reach. Even in the cheap and dodgy hotels in the middle of nowhere where guidebooks say whatever else you do, don't drink the tap water, you know that with the aquapure traveller bottle you confidently can. Above all, the bottles have given me peace of mind.

I have been travelling for 6 months through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia, filling my aquapure traveller from the taps, which is highly warned against and experienced no problems. It saved me an awful lot of money, as I felt no need to buy bottled water, which enabled me to spend more time in the countries I was privileged to be travelling through. It was on my person the whole time even when falling from a van in Australia after eight months of use across seven countries. Carrying the aquapure traveller bottle gave me the confidence to collect water from otherwise ill advised sources and ensured that regardless as to where I was, I knew thirst was not going to pose a problem.
