Troubleshooting
Container has an odor
Rinse thoroughly with a mild detergent and water. For persistent odors, fill with a solution of water and baking soda, let sit for several hours, then rinse completely.
Cap is difficult to open/close
Ensure the threads are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of food-grade lubricant to the cap threads if necessary.
Slight deformation after prolonged sun exposure
While HDPE is UV resistant, prolonged direct sunlight can cause minor deformation. Store in a shaded area when not in use to maintain shape.
Concern about water purity
Always use clean water sources for filling. The 'Food Contact Approved' label indicates the material is safe, but water source contamination is separate from container integrity.
