I've been using old Gatorade bottles. I run them through the dishwasher every few days.

Anybody have a cool water bottle?

I use any typical water bottle: Crystal and Aquafina. I buy cases of water bottles so I use the same bottle for like 2-3 days and I get a new one.

the water fountain at the gym is convenient but if I leave my station, someone is gonna steal it.

Aren't you supposed to not reuse those bottles?

Also, I just read that the clearish bottles marked w/a PC or 7 PC on the bottom contain some nasty chemicals.

Yea I saw that stuff on the news back in the day. if you reuse those bottles for a long time, there's a lot of bacteria and stuff.

But I only use it like 2-3 times so I don't think it's that bad.
