Product Information
Full details
This Hydro Flask 18 oz Standard Mouth Water Bottle in Purple is designed for active individuals who need to keep their beverages at the optimal temperature for extended periods. Its key benefit is superior insulation, keeping drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours. A minor consideration is that while the bottle is durable, the powder coat can be scratched by sharp objects.

FAQs
Is the Hydro Flask 18 oz bottle dishwasher safe?
Yes, both the bottle and the Flex Cap are top-rack dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the powder coat finish.
What is the warranty on this water bottle?
Hydro Flask offers a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.
Can I put carbonated beverages in this bottle?
No, this bottle is not designed for carbonated beverages as the pressure can damage the seal and potentially cause leaks or make the lid difficult to open.
How long does the insulation last?
The TempShield™ insulation keeps beverages cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours when used with the lid.
What does 'Standard Mouth' mean?
The Standard Mouth opening is designed for easy drinking and is compatible with specific Standard Mouth lids and accessories. It is narrower than a Wide Mouth opening.
Will the powder coat scratch or chip easily?
The Color Last powder coat is designed to be extra-durable and provide an easy-grip, sweat-free finish. However, like most powder coats, it can be scratched or chipped by sharp objects or rough handling.
Can I use this bottle for drinks other than water?
Yes, the pro-grade stainless steel resists flavor transfer, so you can use it for water, coffee, tea, juice, or other beverages. Just ensure thorough cleaning between uses if switching between strong flavors.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is not keeping drinks cold/hot for the advertised duration.
Ensure the lid is tightly sealed. Check for any damage to the TempShield™ insulation (though rare, significant drops can affect performance). Pre-heating or pre-chilling the bottle with hot or cold water before filling can also improve performance.
Lid is difficult to open or close.
Ensure the threads on the bottle and lid are clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, try running the lid under warm water for a minute to slightly expand the material, then try again. Check for any visible damage to the threads.
Leaking from the lid.
Make sure the lid is screwed on straight and tightened securely. Check the silicone seal inside the lid for any debris or damage. Ensure you are using a compatible Hydro Flask lid.
The exterior feels wet or warm.
This indicates a potential failure of the vacuum insulation. Contact Hydro Flask customer support for warranty assistance.
Interior is difficult to clean.
Use a bottle brush with warm, soapy water. For stubborn stains or odors, a mixture of baking soda and water can be effective. Ensure all cleaning agents are thoroughly rinsed out.
