Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 http://www.custompure.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv? Screen=PROD & Store_Code=CPTWS & Product_Code=40-BOT-GL- 5 & Category_Code=CP103 Custom Pure has them, you can order them online or get them from their storefront. I think they are in shoreline. PCC could order them for you, but it would be easier and cheaper to get them from Custom Pure.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 I got a bottle at the raw festival last year I use. It has a clamp type closure on the top. Sort of like the glass canisters. I think it holds a quart. I saw them for sale at the Everett Co-op. They are the light blue/green shade of glass. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Tina Some time ago I answered an email re glass water bottles. There is a place called Water to Go at the corner of 3rd NW and NW 87th st in Seattle. They have bottles of 1, 3, and 5 gal and I was last there they didn't have anything smaller except in plastic of some sort.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Last time I drove by there was some question as to whether they were still in business. There was a " For Lease " sign in front of the building. Anyone know what's happening with them? -Heather/starrrie Socorro Maia <smaia wrote: Tina Some time ago I answered an email re glass water bottles.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 i've had been using nalgene bottles til i read the article below about lexan water bottles so i now use a glass bottled juice bottle i don't know the name of the juice/bottles but they hold about a quart and have a cap about 2'' dia and... they are *free* in the recycling bins norm )~ ...... raw food, simply wonderful ..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` from mercloa's website... Nalgene Water Bottles Appear to be Unsafe Although the colorful, durable and lightweight Nalgene water bottles have been the hydration choice of outdoor enthusiasts, scientific evidence has shown the plastic used to make the bottle may pose serious health hazards. Made from Lexan polycarbonate resin and marketed through Nalgene Outdoor Products, Lexan was envisioned to be the ideal material for water bottles due to its durability and the way the material of the bottle didn’t hold any odors or flavors to distort the taste of the liquid being stored in the bottle. A study that involved researching birth defects and developmental abnormalities that caused miscarriages in mice raised the suspicions on all polycarbonate plastics. The study revealed a sudden increase in aneuploidy, a defect consisting of abnormal loss or gain of chromosomes, which in humans could possibly lead to miscarriages or disorders such as Down Syndrome. The spontaneous jump in mouse aneuploidy was traced back to a lab worker, who used a strong detergent to clean the mice cages and water bottles. The effects of the detergent resulted in the plastic attaching itself to bisphenol, a chemical that mimics the female hormone estrogen. Research has shown that low BPA levels have had an adverse effect on prostate development, tumors, breast tissue development, sperm count and enlargement of fat cells in the body. Scientists have warned against allowing any polycarbonate plastics near your food or water and stated the devastating effects of these chemicals posed the biggest risk to babies during early development. Despite the warnings, polycarbonate plastics continue to be used in a wide variety of products including food storage cans, dental sealants and the Nalgene Lexan bottles. Daily Barometer March 23, 2004 Dr. Mercola's Comment: Well, they fooled me. Even though I knew plastics could leach BPA from the study I posted last year the research did not yet indicate that Lexan leached this chemical. Now, there is enough of a concern that I am throwing away my Nalgene Lexan bottles. The only time I used them is when I traveled though, as glass is far too fragile to travel with on planes. Nalgene does make a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle that is identical in size and shape to the more popular Lexan model and that is the one I will be getting. Plastics that are safer to use for storing food and beverages, none of which are known to leach harmful substances include: • Polypropylene, designated “#5 PP” • High-density polyethylene, designated “#2HDPE” • Low-density polyethylene, designated “#4 LDPE” So pay attention to the container you store your water in. If you can’t use glass, only use one of the above “safe” plastic jars. Also, don’t forget to apply this information when using baby bottles and other food containers.

I thought the question was about a personal size water bottle. I am looking for a personal size. I did find the bottles at the Everett Coop that you told me about, Shari--and got some of them (thanks). They're nice--made by hand in Spain from recycled glass. They are the right size for me and my kids (they hold 32-oz--just a little less than the larger Nalgene bottles), but my husband is looking for one about twice that size (two litres or so). I'll just keep looking. The Custom Pure one-gallon size (thanks for re- posting the info and for calling them, Socorro) will be good for our cabin trips.
