I drink a lot of water. In fact I usually drink about 3 litres of water each day. The one think I notice by drinking so much water is that not all water tastes the same. This is especially true here in Ireland.

I could really use one of these self filtering bottles. Not only does it look pretty cool but I hope it can help take care of any differences in the water and help them taste similar. It may be a while before we see these on the market. This was designed by Nick Poteracki as a project for Prudue.

The user simply removes one of the lids by pressing the release buttons then adds water on top of the filter. The lid is replaced and the unit is flipped, beginning the filtration process. The filter sinks to the bottom, purifying as it goes. The user now pushes the inner circle on the top of the lid where there is visual feedback in the form of orange dots. This pivots the disc up on a central axis to reveal a backwash-resistant spout.
