Troubleshooting
Bottle is not keeping liquids hot/cold for the advertised duration.
Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly. Check that the seal is properly seated. Allow the bottle to pre-heat or pre-cool with hot or cold water for 5-10 minutes before filling with your desired beverage. Extreme external temperatures can also affect performance.
The lid is difficult to open or close.
Ensure the internal threads of the bottle and lid are clean and free from debris. Try slightly loosening the lid and then retightening firmly. If the issue persists, check the seal for any damage or misalignment.
A metallic taste is present in the drink.
Rinse the bottle thoroughly with warm, soapy water. If the taste persists, try soaking the inside with a mixture of water and a tablespoon of baking soda for a few hours, then rinse well. This is often a temporary effect with new stainless steel items.
Leakage from the lid.
Verify that the lid is screwed on straight and fully tightened. Ensure the silicone seal is correctly positioned and free from damage or trapped debris. Check that the bottle is not overfilled beyond the indicated fill line.
