The PiMag Sport Bottle features a unique, patent-pending microfilter that meets or exceeds internationally recognized filtration standards. Proprietary Nikken PiMag Water Technology combines a magnetic field that helps to reduce sediment agglomeration with features that add natural minerals and adjust pH value. The Sport Bottle is environmentally responsible in many ways: the biodegradable bottle shell (containing no BPA or other potentially harmful compounds) eventually breaks down into natural soil nutrients. Filter components are replaceable, to extend the life of the bottle. The PiMag Sport Bottle is the clean, economical and intelligent alternative to commercially bottled water.
I’ll be honest. When I heard that Nikken was finally going to bring out a new water bottle, I wasn’t very excited. The old bottle didn’t have any magnets (everything from Nikken has magnets, right?), it was small, it squeaked terribly when you used it, and the filter wasn’t replaceable. Now that I know more about the bottle, I am excited about it. It does have magnets that help to soften the water and the filter is replaceable. You still have to squeeze the bottle to push the water through the filter, so I don’t know yet if it squeaks. I’m told that it doesn’t. I will order a couple for myself soon and update this with my experience.
What really excites me about this new bottle is the filter cartridge. From everything I have heard and read so far, this little filter cartridge is better than the filters in any of Nikken’s other water products. If you look at the documentation you will see that they target a specific pH range (8.5pH – 9.5pH), so the water is very alkaline. It also reduces the redox potential of the water by about 200 mV, which means that the water can work like an antioxidant when you drink it. Reducing redox potential isn’t something that Nikken has targeted before. I think it would be really cool if they could work something like this into a replacement filter cartridge for the Aqua Pour.

Dave Balzer at Nikken recorded a nice video with some tips about what you can do if your PiMag Sport Bottle leaks when it arrives. It probably as to do with the bottle getting banged around during shipping and is easily fixable. Check it out on YouTube here.
I recorded my own videos too and you can find them in the sidebar of this page to the right below the Related Articles and Recent Comments sections. Please leave me a comment below and let me know what you think.
