Comment on What water bottles are completely free from the problem of weird chipping/shavings of the material which could put material in the water, even when dropping it or when using Bottle Bright tablets?

  I have never encountered a water bottle getting chipped or leaving shavings.

  I’ve heard of people complain that steel bottles that use steel tops “scrape” together when you are using the lids, and that can cause metal particles to shed into the water.

  That’s one of the reasons why most steel bottles have plastic lids.

  I’ve seen chipping on two black plastic Hydro Flask wide mouth lids, and it looks unsafe.

  The last time I drank out of a reusable bottle, I felt a string-like thing on my tongue, and when I grabbed it out, it was black, and way too thick to be hair. I don’t know for sure where it came from, and I’m only 80% sure it’s a problem with the bottle or lid.

  The metal version of the Hydro Flask wide mouth lid has a 1-star review about “yummy metal shavings”.

    Sounds like Hydro Flask might have some QA issues. Perhaps seek metal and an alternative brand with good ratings.
