I've purchased these from this seller a few times. I used to receive the screw-in type but this last time I received the sit-in style. It seems to work just fine for my son, maybe even better. If nothing else, it reminds me to clean around the mouth piece and the top of the filter (which gets disgusting when you never remove it besides replacing it. No matter how much you scrub, you need to remove the filter to clean it thoroughly.) We all love our water bottles, even my husband who originally didn't like mine. We use them every day.

I'm not sue if my bottle is the original or not when I bought it 6 months ago but it came with the screw on filter so it sounds like it could be. But now all I can find are the drop-in filters, and only on Amazon, but they work just as well as the screw in kind. And since my post I realized that even when the filter doesn't sit straight the bottle doesn't leak so long as the cap is tightened securely. I totally love mine and won't use anything else.

I've tired to correct my answer several times but every time some of the words get changed.basically you take off old filter saving original hard basket and then working the new filter over original basket making sure the rubber seal is secure

Sorry Arthur...I think you're right! I ordered a spare filter back in June and thought nothing of it. Then, I went to change my filter this morning and the one they sent me was wrong. My old filter has an opening on both ends and the new one does not. Plus, the part number is different. Maybe it's a new design but I'm not putting it in until I find out. Thanks for making me aware of this. I wouldn't put your's in either. Please let me know if you find something out from the company.

If you really want to make these bottles work, you could use a thin exact type knife and score out the valve on the inside of the straw, coming in from the top. Cutting out the two pieces that are about 1/2" from the top would remove the restriction from inside. As you wash these bottles though, the rubber becomes softer and you'll get more flow anyway. However, if your kiddo is at the point where he's needing more volume out of the straw, you may want to look for a bottle that has a hard straw. Now that mine is a little older, we use cups with lids and a hard straw that has a rubber ring around it to keep it sealed. Nuby soft tops aren't known to be long lasting bottles after all. Good luck!

For years I went with the official replacement. The benefit of that was that it had a replacement filter too.Now, I am trying the CreatorUV compatable replacement. Works fine, but have only had for a month, so I don't know life.

I can speak for refill bottles that are older screw on tops but not the new wavy necks. I just took inside adapter out and hold the cap when replacing water bottle to dispenser with fingertips and little to no water spills. New ones I have not tried but I think it probably works best on those. It is worth a try and just try if you are spilling water when refilling trust me.

I have found that the thickness and sturdiness of the plastic is what's most important. I have discovered that a dish washing liquid bottle (Palmolive, Dawn, etc.) works the best. All of the plastic water bottles I've tried are too flimsy and collapse when squeezed to discharge the water.

"Which siphon is the best one"..........Your question is too vague....I have found the "Super Siphon" works as advertised and works very well.

I just contacted Philips asking about using it for stainless steel baby bottles and they answer is they only recommend using it with Avent baby bottles. I just received my sanitizer, but planning to return it as I am not using Avent bottles

I don't think this will be helpful to you now, but I recently replaced my Maytag filter with the Swift filter and it leaked instantly. I took it down and replaced it with another Maytag filter and its doing great now. I'll only buy the Maytag filters from now on. Best of luck to you.

No issues with mine. Either return/exchange at Amazon, or contact Rubbermaid.

I have 5 of these filters that I switch between when they get clogged. They work with the BLC180w, that's what I am using them with. I still have the filter that came with the tool. I have washed it several times and dried it with a hair dryer. With each washing the fabric starts to decompress and get fuzzy. Like I say, I switch between 5 filters so I can't say how long a single unit may last when used and reused alone. I have cycled the original filter through the rotation about 10 times so far and though it is fuzzier than when it was first installed, it seems to be holding up pretty well.

Hi there. I spent a bunch of time in Loew's and couldn't quite figure it out! In the end I just stayed with the green bottles and they seem to last quite a long time.

The one we have takes a lot of pumping to fill a glass. I think there is a problem. I assume once you pump it up a vacuum is formed to keep water in the cylinder on top. Doesn't work with our Kent water bottles.

I want to edit my answer because I had said they do work, but I own the old ones. It seems now they don't work and have a different valve (new system)

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
