When will these be available in my country?
If you're in Canada, give Indigo a try. Or you can try buying from Modcloth, they ship internationally.
How do I apply the discounts?
On the 2nd page of the checkout process you'll see our discount codes along with instructions on how to apply them.
Why Glass?
Everything tastes better in glass! It's also dishwasher safe unlike some other reusable water bottles. And as a bonus, dishwashers use less
water than cleaning by hand, so you know, win-win.
How big are the bottles?
They hold 425ml or about 14.4 oz.
Is this a good "on-the-go" bottle?
While the bottle is pretty durable, we designed it for casual home and office use so we don't recommend you bring it on a marathon. If you want something for jogging or hiking, we suggest you check out what the guys at Tappening have to offer.
Are you giving some of the proceeds to charity?
Yes, a portion of the profits from each bottle go to making biosand filters. And if you buy 4 bottles from our site an entire filter will get made!
What's that cap like?
It's a simple screw cap made of BPA-free plastic.
Where are the bottles made?
They're made by a European based manufacturer at their branch in China.
I'm an illustrator/designer, can I work with you on the next bottle you create?
Thanks for your interest! We have no plans for new designs at the moment.
Have the bottles been tested?
Yes, the bottles have been independently tested by an FDA accredited lab. For the glass, they did a leach test for lead and cadmium. For the caps they tested for BPA. We passed both tests.
I already re-use an old glass container, why do I need yours?
Maybe you don't! But consider this: by carrying around a bottle with a label on it
you are promoting that company. For example if you use and refill a Voss water bottle
you are essentially broadcasting to the world you're an avid Voss
drinker. Yeck. Why not let people know you fill up at the faucet?
How do I know my tap water is safe?
This is a good question and one we struggle with. Not all tap is created equal. While the tap water in our home city of Los Angeles has not had any contaminants found in over 10 years, there are still some counties in the U.S. that have problems with consistently monitoring their tap, or have found contaminants in their water.
For the majority of americans their tap water is safe to drink. Most drinking water violations happen in towns with 20,000 or fewer people, where resources and expertise are often inadequate. If you want to learn more about the water quality in your neighborhood, click here.
Who designs your bottles? David Turpin helped create the shape and we get various talented artists for the illustrations.
