#waterpitcher #vortex #drinkingwater - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
You should do a double blind water test of different drinking water. From tap water, filtered water to expensive bottle water. (And the swirly water ). Use your kids as the lab rats and see what their reaction is to different water where they do not know the source. That way you have a wide base to choose from and it would cut down on any placebo effect.
just what i was thinking, just pour four glasses two of each and see if you can pick out the two from the swirl
Exactly right!
I've actually dumped out bottled water and filled it with filtered water because I wanted the bottle but not the water inside. I don't know if it's because it's sitting in a plastic bottle or the sources for the bottled water (not expensive ones) were bad, but there was a noticeable taste difference and it wasn't a good one.
Yeah, I hope he reads this and considers it. I would love to see this revisited with a test like this. I have a feeling I already know the outcome, but I'd still love to see it.
@@BriBCG I don't like most bottled water, it has what I can only describe as a "dry" taste compared to good tap water.
You can get a magnetic stirring plate (like for a chemistry lab) for $30 and use your own water pitcher for the same effect.
That was all I could think about when I saw how it worked. They must have some sky high margins on that product.
That was exactly my thought we he said the price. I thought if this does anything at all which I doubt, you can get a set up like this for a fraction of the cost
That's all I was thinking the whole video. 😶
Hey, for $150 more you can have the same thing but harder to clean!
@@Bladsmith and with an annoying sound that you even can make out in the video!
I wonder how this would work as a wine decanter. You can get wine lovers to pay $180 for that.
Oohh good point. I'd like to see him try that out sometime.
They are selling it as a decanter on Amazon. So would also be interested to see how well it works. Might be fun for the novelty.
I can't remember where I saw it, maybe Mythbusters, but there was a video with "wine experts" trying cheap wine that had been stirred up in a blender and they all thought it was expensive wine.
@@badbirdkc I remember Mythbusters filtering vodka and they had a vodka expert on to taste them
@@ThatOneDude219 yeah, I don’t remember Mythbusters doing wine, but definitely remember them doing the vodka myth. But I also feel like I’ve seen a wine test like this and have definitely read plenty of times that wine experts were very much influenced by the bottle or perception.
The funny thing is, there's an aeration screen on most faucets to begin with.. it's been aerated right into the glass you're drinking from.
Yea but carbon dioxide starts to dissolve in it over time. He needs to do a longer test.
Yes, over time that swirling water will taste worst because it will build up carbonic acid from the carbon dioxide and taste flat.
For that price, I think they should’ve included changeable LEDs/RGB lighting in the base charger to enhance the aesthetics, which I feel is really the draw here and not so much an improvement in taste.
Lol already at the beginning I'm thinking couldn't you do the same with the stirrer mug you've reviewed before? Just put plain water in it without hot cocoa or coffee? 🤷♂️😜
You can get magnetic stirrers for under $50 that do this. And you can use your own containers, moving the stir bar to them, which allows you to use it for other things (mixing chemicals, drinks, low volumes of food).
Yeah and many would swallow it own a last gulp of their drink. Some would choke and die. Congrats on the idea.
@@philiplubduck6107 Nah, nobody will die. They'll just be able to spin it in their stomach...that's pretty cool
Wish I had known this before I bought this pretty, overpriced pitcher. :( I have had it 3 months and it stopped working. I'm now looking at buying a magnetic stirrer (Now $30 on Amazon) and putting this pretty pitcher on something that, hopefully, is better made.
I'm interested in the taste test between this pitcher and water that was put in a bottle (that was half full or so) and shaken for 10-30 seconds. I imagine that's a more effective way to aerate them. And of course, if you want to avoid placebo, you can rope your kids in for a classic blind test... I'd like to hear a chemist chime in to say if there is any way that the pH or anything else would change, because my first instinct is to say no, but maybe it's possible?
I do feel like marketing departments are just kind of putting together massive prices and random product names, then creating them and marketing them as high-end. Even if you were the biggest water snob in the world, this thing involves so much setup, and it's pretty but not as pretty as, say, a fountain (which hey, probably does a better job of aerating too! Edit - it would also have a filter, which bafflingly, this doesn't). At that point, I'm picturing you being rich enough to just hire a guy to swirl your water glass for you.
It does nothing to oh it just makes it freasher tasting as it has movement
Certainly possible that aerating water, even by simply leaving it out on your counter (no vortex gimmick), could effect the taste and/or pH. You are giving any volatile compounds or gasses some time to break down or offgas. This is one reason it is advisable to let tap water sit overnight before introducing it to fish tanks /aquatic animals - to allow the chloramine/chlorine levels to drop.
Another example is leaving carbonated beverages open to air. This impacts the taste and also pacts the pH.
I'm a chemical physicist (PhD) in case that will do. Air (specifically it's main components: O2 and N2) does not change the pH when dissolved in water. Agitation can increase the pH if there was CO2 already dissolved in the water, but that's about CO2 being released from the agitation, not as a consequence of the aeration.
I suppose it is possible that his tap water had some CO2 dissolved in it and the pH increased after the agitation because it was released, but I'm not convinced that you could tell reliably with the test strips he's using. They just aren't precise enough to detect between the pH of 7 and 7.5 he's showing here. That can be explained by variation from strip to strip.
i always shake my water. i shake most of my cold beverages. i just use mason jars for juices and water.
also, this is totally my non-professional opinion, but aeration enhances the flavor and texture of water. quality water tastes better, but crappy water tastes crappier.
this decanter is interesting, but not $180 interest. it's not even $40 interesting. if you want this effect for cheap, just shake a jar. if you want the swirl specifically, get one of those spinny magnet capsules and the lab base. you'll get a better whirlpool than this crap.
@@burtongfx it can't change the pH of water it just changes the taste. The at home pH kits are crap and will give different readings even from the same glass
I’ve often heard that for people who don’t like the taste of some city chlorinated water, you just have to leave a full, open pitcher out and the chlorine evaporates at a faster rate than the water itself. Maybe this speeds up the process. It could also be aerating the water like how the British (and others) claim boiling the water enhances a teas flavor compared to iced or cold brewed teas.
The chlorine "gases" off, so yeah, that chemical taste should go away after a while. Fill a big jug of water with tap water, and let it set overnight in the refrigerator, and it should be fine. The source of the water will still affect the taste, however.
In a lot of places they now use chloramines and that's no longer true. On the upside they can use less of it and as a result the taste probably isn't as noticeable.
We live in NYC, which has really good tap water, but we still boil all our drinking water. I don't know how to describe it, but it does taste better to me.
@@BriBCG Yeah almost everywhere uses chloramine not chloine because of parasites.
Australian tap water needs to sit for half hour to remove taste
You could buy a nice blender or even one of those lab magnetic mixer things and use whatever pitcher you want lol
A 2L flask would be aost identical.
I use a laboratory magnetic stirrer to mix my fiber powder since I have paralyzed fingers, I never realized I was also getting my Metamucil as if it came from a flowing river!
That's a brilliant idea. I've never before considered the usefulness of lab stirrers for people with hand disabilities.
@@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co it works so good I've considered maybe upgrading to a hot plate Stirrer combo if I ever tried to get into cooking more lol. And now I have Walter White in my head.....
This is really a beautiful example of the power of the mind! He wanted taste a difference so his mind made it happen! About 10% different!? Ha! It does look cool. @ $180.00 somebody's getting rich!!!
Exactly. He should have done a blind taste test. He knew which one would supposedly taste better and his mind made him think it did.
Most municipal tap water in the US has at least some residual chlorine taste/smell right out of the tap. If you let it sit for a little while in an open container, the residual sanitizing agents oxidize and evaporate out resulting in better tasting water. Aerating the water like this just speeds that up a little, but not $180 with IMO.
Where I live we have some of the best tsp water I’ve ever had! I lived in Phoenix for almost 50 years and the tsp water wasn’t clear! But I didn’t die!!! I’ve seen this water container and thought it was really neat but totally useless, especially for $180! I love your videos!!!!
@@sandybruce9092 i refused to drink phx water when i lived there 5 yrs ago it was brown and smelled bad.
@@invalidaccount2315 Yep! My Mom always had a water softener installed (for many years!) but I would only drink the “soft” water if it had been chilled. At least some of the particles floating in it were gone! When we moved to Mooresville, NC over 20 years ago I was amazed at how clear the water here is! And how good it tastes! No floating particles,,etc. I’m not sure why Phoenix water is what it is - maybe bad filtering?
I just started learning about this. The Mayu Swirl is one of many methods that "structure" water molecules by changing them from H2O to H3O4. The water molecules return to "life" by becoming crystalline again, unlike "dead," stagnant water that loses its shape in our water pipes. Living water, in nature, is created by the twists and turns it flows through in creeks, streams, rivers, and water falls where it swirls around rocks and hills, also becoming oxygenated. Creating a water "vortex" restructures our dead, flat water by creating that twisting, turning motion. The water's taste and texture does change, but the actual benefit comes through increased energy and hydration within the water crystals" that penetrate our cell walls more easily. If you look up "structured water" or "how to structure water" on You Tube, there is more to learn. It does not remove impurities, like a filter, or reverse osmosis except it could minimize chlorine, since it could escape through the swirl of vapor release.
Great video, by the way! I like your channel. Thanks!
My Brita water pitcher is all I need and it works perfectly, saves me $180
I never had any luck with Brita pitchers with the filters almost always failing on me, leaving the water grey/black, sometimes with the filter particles in the water, and that's with the official filters, the Target Up & Up generic, and the generic Walmart Great Value branded ones, following the directions to the letter, so I switched to a PUR filter, and have only had one bad filter in 3 years thus far, and they are roughly the same price as generic Brita filters.
@@CommodoreFan64 - I’ve always had good luck, I primarily use filtered water for baking and making dough/pastry dough, so it works fine for me at least.
The change in taste can most likely be attributed to the chlorine degassing in the water faster with the swirling effect.
You had me on edge. I really thought the water pitcher would get dropped, etc. during filming.
I thought he'd need a bathroom break during filming!🤣
I've been binging your videos all day today only to be gifted with a fresh upload, thanks.
I'll stay with my Alexa pur gravity water filter system. Even if there had been an improvement in the taste of the water with the swirl, the fluoride and other toxins remain in the water. Looking forward to the next review.
For $180 I would expect some RGB lights in the base to light up the carafe. An extra few cents per unit could have added a lot of precieced value.
i was researching hydro bottles and came upon mayu, so ofcourse i went to YT and searched up reviews and came upon your channel. I can see why you have so many followers, you are funny AF. i don't subscribe often but i will subscribe to your YTC thanks for making me LOL its really funny when you actually LOL at 4am all alone. thanx leesa
I use a berkey for all my water. I think it helps the taste drastically here in AZ
just buy a 20-30$ magnetic stirrer for the same exact thing
Should do a test comparing this to a beaker on a hotplate, with the mixing rod. One of those standard things you'll find in chemistry that would accomplish exactly the same as this particular device. Probably cheaper too, considering the price!
That's a brilliant idea!
can find one for 30 bucks on amazon, probably even cheaper on aliexpress too
If it had worked there are $20 to $30 lab magnetic stirs that you can buy on Amazon making it something I would try. But that price point I'm amazed they didn't even include something like RGB LEDs.
Looks very easy to knock over. Try it with spring water.
Your editing is professional grade. The presentation is well thought out and executed quite smoothly. Your persona comes across as reliable, kind and trustworthy. You are what TV channels are looking for.
The biggest issue I have with this is you have to leave it out to swirl and that will warm it up
I like my water cold cold
If you have to try it multiple times just to differentiate, it means either there the no difference or very minor difference. Either way, this thing is just gonna get used once and kept in a cupboard regardless of the price.
The flask/decanter is quite beautiful One like that at say, Williams Sonoma might be the same price without the spin feature. But since it's borosilicate, not crystal or anything, it's probably overpriced. If you are someone who loves conversation pieces, though, this might be a good buy.
Borosilicate glass is pretty high quality. No it isn't fancy crystal, but it handles temp changes and is used in labs for that reason. (If you buy glass cookware, make sure it's borosilicate.)
This reminds me of two things:
- Those coffee mugs that have a button that swirls your coffee while mixing it with cream/sugar
- I have a magnetic plate and a small stirring magnet, which I use for yeast starters when brewing beer. The whirlpool and everything is pretty much the same.
Would be interesting to see the results of a blind taste test.
I was in Vegas almost two weeks ago, so I may have been one of those shower drunken guys you mentioned... LOL
Thanks for the video.
Curious, is the material of the stirrer safe for it to be in contact with the water meant to be drinked?
I can only see this being cool for those drinks that have the edible luster dust in them to make them swirl and look cool.
What you should do is have a palate cleanser between the 2 tastes my suggestion would be something neutral like tap water 😉
aerating is bubbles, thats not aerating, lol . and yes the chlorination will dissipate from a pitcher of water letting it sit. I put a pitcher in the fridge as i hate it straight from the tap. Thank you for your reviews. I find them the best.
Your lighting looks hella dope
The zero water brand water filter definitely makes a taste difference
Zero is the best. I've used it for years.
Collects bacteria
@@screamtoasigh9984 Not enough to matter, IMO. We drink a lot of water so we go through filters fairly quickly and we thoroughly wash the pitchers out every change.
When your tap water comes out cloudy (but not discolored) it is typically because it has become aerated. They've essentially made a beaker with an integrated stir bar, and a low power stir plate. Unfortunately this just doesn't have the power/design to actually aerate the water (a youtube search for 'water stir plate' will show true aeration). In regards to the taste/ph differences, this may be due to a few things. As water sits, it absorbs small amounts of CO2 from the air...which then goes on to form small amounts of carbonic acid. In addition, any chlorine present can dissociate from the water over time and sublimate out or decompose; both resulting in SLIGHTLY higher ph. These processes typically take hours, however it's possible that this timeframe may be affected by the vortex (in addition to the 20 minute wait time).
Hi James, love you and your videos!! I always watch them.
it would have been more intresting to test this particular product by the way of several blind tests with your lovely children. :)
I've been watching your channel for a while, but something about watching you drink water for 8 minutes hits different haha
After seeing this on Twitter, been really interested in seeing this one...
I have a Mayu Swirl. I managed to get it at its Kickstarter price when it was $99. Personally I’ve found it to make a significant difference with San Diego’s tap water but I also like to let it swirl at least 12 hours first. I find it helps remove odors and makes the water “tasteless” which makes me more willing to drink it. I used to use Filter jugs. But I just put the tap water in and let it swirl for generally a day before transferring the swirled water to a jug I keep in the refrigerator. I’ve been happy with it and have even given some as gifts when it was a lower price. I’m doubtful I’d have given it a shot at all if it had been $180 when I first learned about it. My original one is still going and it’s been several years so I’m happy with it.
Very smart of you to go longer. You are oxygenating it which is the reason pets love water from a pet fountain. No one mentions all of the fluoride they add to our water either. Plus the chlorine would off gas in that amount of time.
I have a $25 charcoal filter that attaches to the kitchen faucet, then you can either run the water straight through or run it through the charcoal. The charcoal definitely improves the taste. As for "it tastes like water flowing in a stream" it's not entirely the movement responsible. It's the water flowing over the soil and rocks which purifies it. Water flowing down a very rocky stream or river tastes even better, I think. I would never spend $180 for something that maybe creates a slight difference in taste.
That filter improves taste because it's removing most of the chlorine used to treat the water. It might improve the PH ever so slightly too.
Also how cold it is. There is a reason tepid water is very unpopular. The best water I have ever tasted I got from a glacier at the source. The hike and extreme thirst probably helped the taste too.
Yeah, you might as well invest in a multistaged filter, though if you live where the infrastructure is good, it's kind of superfluous
@@MezzoForteAural Well sure. If you're really thirsty, there's nothing that tastes as good as cool water.
I have one of those kinds of faucet filters too. I rarely use it because it makes the water too bland. The water where I live is only slightly chlorinated and has lots of dissolved minerals. The filter doesn't remove dissolved minerals, but it removes that tiny, reassuring bit of chlorine and and whatever else I subconsciously associate with clean water. I don't like it. It's void like distilled water.
"ima not gonna say there's no difference, ima say theres no difference i can notice" wouldve been respectable answer
I did a follow up video to this one Feb 1 doing a blind taste test.. cool vase lol
Thank you for sharing. Peace and blessings
A small percentage of people have something called a Jacobsen's organ, a bundle of nerves at the back of the throat where it joins the nasal passage, and which gives them an extra sense mid-way between taste and smell. Most of the world's sommeliers and great chefs have a Jacobson's organ, and it allows them to taste/smell things other people can't. They may get more benefit from this, as there may be subtleties of flavour you're not detecting in the water, and may account for differing opinions on whether this makes water tastes better.
That explains why I watch people tasting whiskeys and they taste or smell all kinds of things vs my ‘I like it’, ‘Wow, this burns like hell!’
@@judywright4241 My brother is an award-winning sommelier, and he's the one who told me about the Jacobson's organ. He can tell things like the geographic location the grapes were grown in by the taste of the wine, and even which year they were vinted.
Haha, I am one of those suckers who spent $19 bucks for 2 coasters that are supposed to make wine and other drinks taste better. It may be my unrefined pallet, but I can't tell a difference. I would pour wine into this pitcher and give that a go. If it were about $160 less expensive.
Honestly seems more like a nice conversation piece at an office lounge or meeting room
He should do a blind test challenge to confirm.
They should put a color changing LED on the base and sell it as a vodka aerator for parties.
Yum! Drunken tourist shower water. My favorite!
Forget about purer water, it's a really cool drink mixer ! Reminds me of chemistry in Jr. College.
Using those elegant glasses..nice
Yeah I definitely am not going to Vegas and drinking any tap could've done without that analogy haha
You can get a much more powerful but not as pretty hotplate/stirrer for a similar price or better probably. It's standard lab equipment.
If you used the water from it to make coffee or tea, would those taste better? Just a thought. I use filtered water to make my coffee and I think it tastes better. Thank you for the review. You find interesting things.
I did a price check here in Australia, and $298 dollars for it here, I think just get out your blender and spin the water, great video, glad you spent the money 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia
James whips out the water quality test kit and silences all naysayers like a boss 😂
great review :) silly question, what product/ lamp do you use to make that cool blue/pink lighting in your room? Thanks!
Not you, since you are providing us with this review, but as PT Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute."
I teach EH&S/water management & treatment. The slight difference in taste you have is either placebo and/or the evaporated chlorine from the mixing and/or the slight addition of carbonic acid from the dissolution of ambiant CO2. You should do blind test with both your children. In any case, not worth 180$ for glorified lab equipment. Cheers.
As someone who’s worked with pool water my whole life, ph is not affected at all by swirling the water a little bit. Those test strips are not precise and you’ll have slight variations between tests even on the same source of water
I think you're supposed to use highly filtered water and recharge it with electrolytes when you swirl. I bought a cheap chem-lab magnetic stirring plate and use an old flat-bottom coffee carafe. I use reverse osmosis or deionized water from WF. Or tap water with a ZERO Water filter. I wouldn't expect tap water to change by swirling.
Thanks for the video.
I have my own water distiller and that's all I use,whether for drinking,coffee,tea,watering plants or cooking and I couldn't be happier.
P.S. 180bucks!! If I want to see a vortex I'll go flush the toilet.
I had one of these years ago...cost me around $10. It was a mixer pitcher, but I just used to turn it on for effect.
I bet you could achieve the same thing by filling a gallon jug halfway and shaking it for a little while. If your tap water has a high amount of chlorine probably burp it every once in awhile to let the chlorine out.
You can get a beaker and a magnetic stirring contraption just like that for far less which does the same thing.
Not many videos where you'll hear the phrase "subtle tap water flavor"
When you realize you are watching a really cute guy drinking *Las Vegas water* from wine glasses and enjoying it.
James in and out of water, it's definitely a thing with him and the H2O.
Could you possibly test the Berkey water filter system? I'd love to see you put that to the test! I've seen a lot of youtubers with one but don't know a ton about it. My son (7) and I love your videos!
Everyone is a critic or has genius ideas for this product. I wonder how many of these
were actually purchased. Not for me but thanks James for another great review.
If the PH went up slightly that would mean the after water was slightly harder, so I oput this down to the placebo effect or a little of the chlorine taste removing itself from the water over the time between the before and after.
A stir plate (without heat) can be had for under $30. You can get a decent whiskey/wine decanter for under $50. Maybe hide it with a very thin cigar box and you have something far nicer at half the price...
You should have had one of your kids do a blind taste test. Without them knowing what was going on, so you knew if it was the placebo effect or not
Would love to see with 3-6 ice cubes in the water jug as it’s spinning.
Put wine in it 👍
The best application seems to be for your bedside at night. Everyone has that glass of water and carbon dioxide does dissolve into it which is why it gets bitter (turns into carbonic acid).
You should do an overnight taste test. 8 Hours works out pretty well.
The difference you felt is probably the chlorine that was dissolved in the water and evaporated because of the agitation. Water treatment plants will add chlorine to tap water to kill bacteria. That chlorine adds some taste to it. If you leave tap water still for a couple of hours before drinking, the effect will be the same, because the chlorine will always slowly evaporate.
You should try running the Las Vegas tapwater through a Britta filter, and then swirl. To me Mayu is meant to swirl filtered water, especially reverse osmosis water. And reverse osmosis water should have mineral put back into it. (for health reasons)
I do my Lake Michigan well water through a Britta filter and then through the Mayu there’s a definite difference in texture and taste. Vegas was a horrible place to do a test. You have to use halfway decent water in the Mayu. I tried to swirl each round of water for at least 10 to 20 minutes. I’ve left it on for an hour before by accident. The water gets a different texture to the sound inside the vortex in the craft, even smoother, less splashing noise. I think it’s from the reigning of the molecules. If you look at the microscopic effects on the water, it’s crazy beautiful how the water realign itself in cool shapes almost like snowflakes. I’m a believer that’s for sure but you can’t just put mud puddle water in and expect it to be good! Vegas has shitty water!
I use a reverse osmosis system on my home drinking water and it works quite well. That pitcher looks like a marketing ploy and that’s it.
I suggest one of those water filter pitcher.
This review is funny and entertaining not sure if he does it on purpose but his comedy is very amusing.
$180 for just a look a like glass flower vase but I really do like the way it looks like a tornado inside a glass. 🌪️❤️
Your results don't surprise me, however I wonder if you thought about using it on distilled water. Distilled water is very"flat" tasting and aeration should help with that (unless the bottler aerated already). Other forms of purification can do that too. Anyhow just wondering if it might have a niche use.
Also: can you use it for wine? Seems like there'd be a bigger market for that, especially at that price point.
Distilled water lacks mineral though, which the spinner wouldn’t affect. And I don’t think it’s particularly ‘safe’ to drink.
Nothing is going to help distilled water because literally everything is removed from the water except the hydrogen & oxygen. It's also recommended that you don't drink distilled water because it's not going to quench your thirst and will just make you even more thirsty.
@@rumpeltyltskyn distilled water is perfectly safe to drink
@@zleggitt1989 Maybe I was thinking of something else then, my bad!
Any idea what they do to H2o in order for it be classified as distilled?
You can buy water filters or filtering pitchers that actually improve water chemically for less than $180. This is a novelty item for people who have more money than they know what to do with.
You should definitely try it again with different water. Maybe it makes a bigger difference in purified or spring water.
😂😂😂 that taste #4 😂 gonna end up with a trip to the restroom next.
I think this thing would be great for powdered drink mixes, like crystal light and the like.
Taking a close look at the water quality assessment, the color of the control alkalinity puts it around 150 ppm, whereas the 'altered' water clocks a solid 180. The bottle appears to be depositing small amounts of alkali in the water, which I interpret to mean the product will not last in its commercial state forever.
Aeration IS used at water treatment plants to oxidize iron and manganese as well as get rid of dissolved gasses. Just swirling around the water like this probably isn’t doing much though.
Sounds like a great product. Perfect item to sell, production cost, $5.38, sell for $180.00. Beats Ice Genie’s profit margin, but still not an Ice Genie. Thanks for the video.
You are just amazing. Going the extra mile where others would have just done the normal. You did the water quality test, that displays your dedication and the intention in doing a perfect review. I never get the chance to use or try the products you review, but I watch each and every video that you post.
People will buy anything if you put a USB on it and slap a fancy box on it. People probably saying it improves the taste of water to justify the $200 they spent.
I’m not surprised there’s not much diff in water quality. Nothing this thing does really changes the contents. I’m wondering if you might want to light it some cool way and use it for decorative effect. Maybe drop in some colorful plastic “bubbles” to bounce around as it swirls.
If you go back to this in the future i would like to see a Wine test in this sense they say airrated wine etc is better.
As a former laboratory technician, I figured that there wouldn't be much of a change in taste. Swirling the water could change the pH slightly. It wouldn't necessarily change the taste. To get better tasting water, it would have to be filtered. I use a product called AlexaPure pitcher that makes my ordinary tap water taste really good! I got it at MyPatriotSupply for $70 and was the best purchase I made in years!!! Let me be clear I'm not paid to endorse this product. James, I suggest you purchase this product and test it on your channel! Last year, I was plagued with kidney stones over 7 months of the year. I purchased AlexaPure Pitcher, and after a few weeks of drinking the filtered water, I went for an X-ray, and it showed no kidney stones. I have been free of kidney stones for 6 months!!! James, I am sorry to say that the twirling water bottle is a big waste of money!
To airate the chlorine smell out of the water is probably what it does since we get a lot of taste out of smelling food and drinks. It would probably not do as well in Sweden where we have got very pure tap water.
That might be good for when you add a couple of ice cubes to help the water get colder faster but other than that not worth it needs a big price drop lol
$15 magnetic stir plate + few dollars for PTFE magnetic stir rods.
