I spent several frustrating days trying to use one with a narrow mouth
bottle. Since there's no outlet tube, you just have to hold the filter over
the bottle, but since the handle is on the side, every time you pump the
filter moves away from the mouth. So if you're planning to use any sort of
narrow mouth bottle I would stay away (unless you can come up with some
crafty way to add an outlet tube)
