LIFESAVER™ Bottle lets you drink, literally, sewage...
This simple looking water bottle is billed as "the worlds first all-in-one ultra filtration water bottle". The breakthrough is a special "filter stack" inside, that removes "bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and all other microbiological waterborne pathogens without using chemicals like iodine or chlorine which leave a distinctive foul taste".
Once the filter is used up, the bottle stops working (the inventor, Michael Pritchard calls this tech "Failsafe"). Swap out the filter, and you're back to drinking the nasty in no time.
The guts of the LIFESAVER include "ultra-filtration" membranes and a replaceable activated carbon filter. The "nipple" you drink from is "chew-proof". Customers include disaster relief organizations, military units and thirsty hikers.
The LIFESAVER bottle has received numerous product awards since it's launch in 2007. I drank some seriously gnarly H20 from one at a military trade show in 2007, and it tasted fine - good actually. Now the company, Lifesaver Systems of Ipswitch, UK is collaborating with Mazda on a bottle that sits in the new Mazda Citi and filters rainwater!
