Better Bottle Alternative?

[Nikodino]

Has anyone used these before?

They are less than half the price of better bottles......

The price is right and apparently there are no BPA issues.

Any thoughts?

The comments suggest a unique plastic material called Eastman Tritan polycarbonate.

The 02 permeability of polycarbonate is a few times higher than that of hdpe.

I used a water bottle one time for a fermenter and it was the only batch I ever made with something growing on top of it.

The wife came home with a bottle identical to the Amazon link. She got it at a local department store, Fred Meyer . I immediately flipped it over to look at the recycling code. It was a 1 PETE. I picked up the 3gal version tonight for small batch brews.

I always look at the code of the big bottles at the bulk water stations at the front of Lowe's, Kroger, etc. Recently I've been noticing more and more #1 PETE bottles and fewer #7 bottles. So the equivalent to the bottle in the link may be available at your local supermarket, filled with water, for $14.

I have a pair and they are the best $50 I've ever spent.
