filtered water bottles? (lemmy.world)

I want to get better at consuming water and I think my biggest downfall is water quality currently. The water where I live is very hard (and constantly getting polluted thanks 3M) and while I can usually trust what we do at home, there's no way I can trust my work to properly filter the water they provide us. I remember using a filtered water bottle back in high school but I lost that at some point. While I've done some research into what's available results were inconclusive. Any homies got any recommendations for me?

charcoal filtering isnt doing the work of removing pollutants, it's mildly improving taste. The filter is mostly a fad.

You're better off filtering at home, filling a large double-walled water canteen (a gallon? half gallon?) with water and ice, and buying a long straw.
