If I remove the Filter will I get a regular Camelbak Bottle that I could put sports drinks or juice in?

Yes actually. It doesn't mention it but I popped the filter out and added a pack of emergency and a bottle of water into it one day. The filter is really easily removable.

I don't see a filter. So, I am afraid I can't help you. Although there is some sort of basket thing before the vapor comes out. Can't say if that's a filter or not but I don't see how it can be replaced.

I agree that it will leave you with plain water, since it is filtering out all the junk. And flavor drinks are just that -- junk.

As far as the bottle itself being able to handle it I don't know. You may want to contact camelbak directly.

this eddy bite valve folds down into a groove on the top lid of the camel bak that has the straw to the bottom of the bottle. If you mean by "the thing" as the little notch/lip on top of this rubber valve (shown hanging down in this picture from each valve) that allows you to tip the valve into an upright position, yes, there is a little notch or lip that your finger can then tip the vale upright and then you bite the valve to open it up a bit and drink up through the straw. These are great. Do not put in dishwasher if you use the dry cycle as they will melt. I have the full set and they are terrific.

not really. I taste more of the water's impurities or elements than the bottle itself if left in there for a while (several days)

Pay no mind to Camelgirl--I'm a chemist, and I know why it matters. I think you'll probably have to email the manufacturer of the filters, I couldn't find it anywhere either.

You can easily remove (pry off) the small top panel on the Water Wise "neck" spigot piece with a small knife or screwdriver without damaging it to add the "sachet pack" - type charcoal filters. I use 2 since they are small as another reviewer noted. All you have to do is shake out the old filter(s), rinse with boiling water to sterilize and then add one or two charcoal filter sachets. You do not have to buy the special "all in one" plastic filter modules, and can use these regular Distiller Charcoal Filters 12 pk instead.

The replacement filter is specially designed for the bottle, but that said, you can fill the bottle and put your LifeStraw in and drink from it. The LifeStraw and the bottle are both good for 1000 liters.

The newer models dont require filter replacement. Some of the older ones we sold do have optional ones. Historically they did not use filters on these, but modern drinkers don't want grounds in the bottom of the cup.The easiest way though is to just use some fine cheesecloth which you can put around the siphoning piece if you like

Yes, I can only fill my 2 liter camelback half way, then I jam it into the side compartment. It does have a top hole for the hose, no clips or attachment for mouthpiece.

Unsure about the filtering of BPA, but I wouldn't want to carry this around with me unless I knew the water was undrinkable. This is a very heavy water filter bottle.

Here is a link to the filters that this bottle uses. When I bought mine, it came with some spares so I haven't bought any yet; but, I know this is them. They also sell these in Target - or whereever they sell the bottles. Julie

I don't know. I use distilled water and that eliminates the need for a filter.

I just assumed it did because Berkey is such a great filter. This is a great bottle. My daughter is in college in Oklahoma City & the water is gross from the drinking fountains...she just fills her bottle & has delicious water to drink. She also took it on a Missions trip to the back villages of Alaska & was able to enjoy pure water the whole time. It is great!! You have to get used to drinking with a harder suck, because it is drawing the water through the filter...but very worth it & soooo convenient.

According to the website, No. I believe you can freeze the models without filters, but check Camelbaks website first.

It will filter out bacteria. If you're traveling somewhere tropical where viruses are a problem, go with a better filter. I've been using ecoflo and seychelle bottles for a few years while hiking and I'm happy with both brands. (I think one owns the other, their bottles look the same)
