24oz WowPress Water Purifier Bottles-Black

This is very similar to my Grayl UltraPress so I’m familiar with the concept and function of these purifier bottles. Construction wise this bottle is very solid, from the plastics and silicone used to the lid, spout and locking mechanism, everything feels well made and durable. It’s not quite as good as my Grayl but at least 85% of the way there. It functions pretty much the same - the inner core is a perfect fit to the exterior shell, everything seals tightly and compressing the filter part into the bottle is smooth and it worked perfectly with the tap water tests I ran to break in the filter. I don't have any complaints with the flavor either, it's pretty indistinguishable from my other filtration systems.

The cap is opened with a push button that you lock and unlock using a small latching mechanism which has worked well so far. This is larger than the Grayl UltraPress I have, it appears to be the same size as the Grayl GeoPress and the filters look to be of the same style, although I can’t say for sure if they’d fit or not.

My orange colored bottle has a slight pink-ish hue to it and I wish there was more of a two-tone color scheme, but I don’t think it looks bad, it’s just very orange. So far this has been a good on-the-go filtration bottle and the larger capacity is a nice bonus over the one I currently own.

This review is for: PURENOVA WowPress 24 oz Water Purifier Bottle (Browns Orange)- Filter for Hiking, Camping, Survival, Travel

Listed at $99, this water purifier bottle came in super handy when I had to travel internationally and didn’t have access to “clean” bottled water. Because I obviously had to be more careful with avoiding getting sick from drinking or brushing with tap water in more remote areas, I had to actually use this, and I’m glad to report that I survived the trip thanks to this having filtered out most of the things that I’d probably have not wanted to consume in my system. Although this isn’t one to hold that much water at once, it certainly can be used over and over again for at least a month daily based on its filtering abilities. I did wish there was an easier way to know when the life of the filters need to be replaced.

I do love the bright Orange color because I can easily tell people “hey - have you seen my bright Orange water bottle?!” :)

Awesome, perfect gift for the outdoorsman in your family! I planned to figt this to my brother-in-law. However, before doing so, I cheated a little. I saw reviews saying it is difficult to push the water through. I have bad hands due to arthritis, but decided to give it a try before gifting! It was NOT HARD AT ALL! If you set it down on a hard surface it is very easy to push into the bottle, and filter very quickly. My brother in law took this on a camping/fishing trip with his boys. It was also a good teaching lesson with the kids on the trip. Showing them how to filter the water. They were very impressed, and wanted to filter their own water throughout the 5 day trip, instead of drinking the bottled water on hand. Turned out to be a great gift, and a great experience for all. Good to have on hand when we get water purity warnings which we get 2-3 times a year here.

Great outdoor water bottle. Is light weight but extremely durable. Filtration is amazing and is a must for backpacking where water needs to be purified. I also like the look. Definitely high end look and feel and the taste is amazing

I tested this filter bottle and it does seem to work as advertised, while I didn't put the resulting filtered water under a microscope (although I plan to) it does filter very quickly and would allow you to get water from a stream several times in succession to fill all of your/your group's water bottles.
The clean side of the bottle (the white part) comes out just by pulling, but you have to pull fairly hard because the 3 silicone rubber seals do seem to seal pretty well, preventing leaks even when you apply pressure. The filter cartridge is easy to replace, we will see in a few months if it is also easy to obtain.
I have not tried the more expensive brands of these "compression bottles" but just can't see any of them being better than this one. It does the job great and is very practical.
The idea is that you have 2 items you need in basically the same space: A bottle/canteen and a water filter. Although weighing just over a pound (0.5 kg as you can see in my photo) which is a little heavier than most other filtration systems, it more than makes up for it in sheer simplicity. This is something to be admired as simplicity breeds reliability.
The bottle seems well made and very tough throughout. I put the filter in a bottle carrier around my shoulder and in the same carrier is the famous $5 Wally World cup and a tiny alcohol stove. Just about my whole cooking and water kit in the same place. Very practical.
Good filter, well thought out bottle, easy to use and works well with my ultralight cooking kit. Highly recommended gear with obvious high quality.

Very well made. The filter on this is excellent. Easy to use. This is a permanent addition to my camping and bug out bags.

The bottle seems well made and very tough throughout. The hanging loop on top does seem somewhat fragile, but I don't plan to be hanging it from there. This filter bottle goes in a bottle carrier with a strap around my shoulder and in the same carrier it sits inside my titanium pot (fits well inside a 500ml or 650ml one as well as the famous Wally World cup) and a tiny alcohol stove. Just about my whole cooking and water kit in the same place. Very practical.

What a thoughtfully designed and effective bottle filter. I used this quite extensively while my RO filter was out of commission. The tap TDS read about 300 - after going through this, it was about 50-70. Quite a significant reduction, certainly. It also improved the taste quite a bit. I generally find tap water unpalatable and won't drink it unless I'm going to die from thirst. This is quite the game changer. I also had the chance to use it while on a road trip, and I liked not having to bring water with me since I could just fill this up wherever I stopped along the way.

This bottle is pretty big and does not store a lot of water. But it has been great for hiking in isolated areas where you have to treat any water you find. Using is really straightforward, though I've found out you have to fill it quite a bit below the max fill line if you don't want to spill half of the water out.
Overall however, this has been a great product to carry with me.

I used this for out of the country .

This water bottle is a game changer. This is something I imagined as a kid. When I went camping, I pictured being able to just scoop up some water and drinking it from a cup. This process is a lot more than the magical cup I imagined as a kid and requires a little bit of effort, but it certainly is a game changer. You can filter 24 oz of water in about 10 seconds. If you don't want to lug around a heavy bottle of water, you can just carry this and purify your water when you are ready to drink! It's also a great idea to have around in case of a natural disaster.

When compared to other water bottle purification systems- this one makes sense based on cost. Granted, there are many other cheaper models from a wide variety of brands that all claim the same results but this one is definitely worth it. The water quality is excellent and tasty. The flow of purification is acceptable and it filters amounts sustainable for proper hydration on hiking or camping expeditions. Use caution and common sense for the source of water you’ll choose to filter. Press filters like these are mostly for removing solid contaminants and not intended to “purify” or “sterilize” your drinking water. Viruses and some microbes could still be present in filtered water so be sure to filter water from cold, clear and preferably fast-moving water sources that are not likely contaminated with chemicals or sewage.
I like the size of this bottle but I wouldn’t want to rely on this for long excursions in the wild. It isn’t that it’s heavy but it isn’t very lightweight per se and so I feel most confident keeping this with me as a travel companion on short camps, vacationing abroad or on hikes in places where fresh drinking water isn’t readily available.

I used this purifier water bottle and it seems to work just fine. I have no way of testing the water though. Using it was easy. You have to have a bit of muscle to remove the bottom part from the top, but once you get the seal to release it comes apart just fine. The water gets pushed through the purifying system and you drink from the top of the water bottle. The color is exactly the way it look on the listing. I will hopefully get to use this bottle when I go to Brazil later this year.

Neat design. Well made and easy to use. Everyone should have one in their survival kit.

I ordered the PURENOVA WowPress 24 oz Water Purifier Bottle (Light Gray)- Filter for Hiking, Camping, Survival. I am very impressed with the quality built of this purifier water bottle, I hope to never need to use this but it is definitely something to have "in case of emergency". My family are avid hikers and rock climbers, so I am so glad to be able to own one of these purifier bottles and they will be packing this in their packs. Read the instructions and practice, great to have.

My feelings were mixed while testing the Purenova WowPress, but found it to be an overall good water filter.

Pulling the filter and cup out isn't the easiest thing to do. If younger or older people use this as their only access to clean drinking water they might have a little trouble.

I'm used to letting the water work through the filter naturally, with gravity I guess you'd say, so forcing the water through the filter makes me worry that something I don't want to ingest is going to slip thru. On a positive note, you do get filtered water much faster with the Purenova WowPress.

It's a bit bulkier and heavier than other water filters of this type and for me, if I'm backpacking, every oz counts. Still, it isn't bad though.

I did taste test the water out of my kitchen faucet as well as the hose outside and I could tell the difference. The kitchen water does taste a little better, however, the hose water tastes much better.

Lastly, this product is a bit more expensive than other filters I've tried and currently own. Personally I would use this as a backup and definitely pull it out if I needed filtered water fast, in the case of a medical emergency and had to have clean water quickly in order to wash a wound. This being the case I do recommend it.

It can take a bit of patience and force to filter the water, but the result is odorless and clean tasting water anywhere you go. Great travel companion for visiting places with poor water infrastructure.

I absolutely love this product. It makes water purification very easy. All you do is put water in it and it creates nice clean filtered water. It is very durable and easy to use. Great value for the money.

This Purenova WowPress water filtering water bottle is very fast and efficient for filtering shareable water with minimal effort. Although I have found both pros and cons with this bottle, the nature of the positives far outweighs any negatives for me.

Pros:
-This bottle is able to effectively (I trust, as I'm not actually sending my filtered water to a lab for testing) filter a large quantity of water in a matter of seconds in any setting.
-The style of this bottle allows you to filter water, pour out the filtered water (to share with someone else, make a flavored beverage, clean a wound, etc.) and continue filtering more instantly so you can use clean water for multiple people or purposes with VERY little time commitment.
-The bottle itself is fairly comfortable to carry and transport. The small carry clip allows it to be hooked onto a backpack or bag using a carabiner.
-The drinking spout is protected by the leakproof cover, which has a lock as well. The size of the drinking spout is convenient for drinking without water spilling out.
-Once all assembled, the bottle is nicely leakproof.
-The bottle is fairly lightweight, making it ideal to take along for hiking or backbacking trips.

Cons:
-The advertised "non-slip" base is really just a thicker section of the same type of hard, smooth plastic the rest of the bottle is made of. I expected it to be rubbery but it is not. This hasn't actually created a problem for me, just seems a bit misleading.
-To filter water, you remove the outermost cup piece of the bottle, fill it with water, then press the inner portion of the bottle into the filled cup portion. No matter how slowly I try to press it in or how far below the "max fill line" I fill the dirty water reservoir, water always spills out the sides as I press the bottle in. Since I'm generally filling this from a sink or a natural outdoor water source, I'm not worried about the mess, but it is something to be aware of.
-With the inner filter/drinking reservoir completely pressed into the outer shell, about 2 ounces of water remains in the bottom of the dirty reservoir and cannot be pressed through the filter. This is notable for one specific reason- the bottle is advertised as a 24 oz bottle and the fill line on the dirty water reservoir does go up to 24 oz, however, between the amount of water lost while pressing the filter in and this small amount that remains inside the dirty water reservoir, the actual clean and drinkable amount ends up being something more like 18-19 oz of water. Not a huge issue, but again, worth noting as you may want to drink a bit extra while your water source is available before refilling to pack away for later.
-This last thing may be my own issue but I cannot figure out how to remove the cartridge for replacing the filter, despite trying repeatedly to follow the included instructions. This isn't an issue right now as the filter is new and fine but eventually it will need to be replaced, so hopefully I can figure it out before then.

A couple of additional notes; the instructions note that a single cartridge can be used for up to 500 cycles, which is a pretty good amount. If you're using this traveling you may go through that faster but for someone who needs it just for backpacking trips it should last quite awhile. It also says it isn't to be used with high tannin-containing water because the filter may become clogged, so if you're around a lake or river with high tannins you may want to find a different option. In general, the cleaner the water is going into this type of bottle, the faster your filter will work and the longer it will last. It can be helpful to stretch a piece of fabric over the reservoir opening as an initial "filter" for large particles in the water when filling this just to stretch the inner filter as long as possible.

Overall, I'm very happy with this filtering bottle. A few minor annoyances but nothing that would stop me from appreciating it's usefulness. The water this bottle filters looks clear and tastes good and being able to pour out filtered water for sharing is a fantastic feature with this type of item. Would happily recommend this bottle.
