FAQs
How long does the insulation keep water cold?
The double-walled insulation is designed to keep water cold twice as long as a standard bottle, typically for several hours, depending on external temperature.
Is the bottle dishwasher safe?
While handwashing is recommended for longevity, many users find the bottle parts safe on the top rack of a dishwasher on a gentle cycle. However, check the manufacturer's specific care instructions for your model.
What does 'TrueTaste Polypropylene' mean?
It refers to the material used in the bottle's construction, which is specifically chosen to not impart any plastic taste to the water, ensuring a pure, clean flavor.
Can I use this bottle for hot liquids?
This bottle is designed for cold beverages. Hot liquids are not recommended as they can affect insulation performance and potentially damage the bottle's materials.
How do I ensure it won't leak during transport?
Always make sure to twist the positive lockout cap to the 'locked' position. This will create a secure seal, preventing any spills or leaks.
What is the capacity of this bottle?
This specific model has a capacity of 21oz, which is approximately 621ml.
How do I remove the nozzle for cleaning?
The nozzle can be removed by firmly gripping it and twisting it counter-clockwise while gently pulling away from the cap.
Troubleshooting
Water is not flowing when squeezed
Ensure the positive lockout cap is twisted to the 'open' position. Check if the Jet Valve is blocked by debris and clean if necessary. Ensure the nozzle is properly attached.
Bottle is leaking
Verify the lockout cap is in the 'locked' position for transport. Ensure the Jet Valve is clean and free of obstructions, as debris can prevent a proper seal. Check that the nozzle is securely attached.
Water tastes like plastic
Rinse the bottle thoroughly with warm, soapy water and allow it to air dry completely. The TrueTaste Polypropylene is designed to minimize taste transfer, but an initial rinse is recommended.
Difficulty removing the nozzle
Gently twist and pull the nozzle. If stuck, try running warm water over the connection point.
