Drinking Schedule
The Tritan Sport is built for high-volume daily hydration — that's why we made it 50 oz. Aim for 1-2 full bottles per day. Drink the first bottle across the morning (16-20 oz on waking, the rest before lunch) and the second across the afternoon and pre/post workout. Athletes often run 2-3 cycles back to back to keep fresh hydrogen-rich water flowing during long training sessions.
Initial Setup
- Unscrew the Tritan body from the base.
- Remove the small protective plug from the center of the PEM membrane.
- Hand-wash the body and lid with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Do NOT submerge the base.
- Reassemble and charge the base fully using the included USB-C cable until the LED is solid green.
- Fill the body with filtered, spring, or mineral water. Avoid sparkling water and heavily chlorinated tap water.
Powering the Device
Press the power button once for the 5-minute standard cycle. Double-press for the 10-minute high-concentration cycle. The LED ring on the base will pulse during the cycle and shut off when complete. Because the Tritan Sport holds 50 oz, expect to see steady bubbling from the base plate throughout the cycle — that's normal and means the SPE/PEM membrane is doing its job.
Maintenance and Safety
Hand-wash the Tritan body and lid every 2-3 days with warm soapy water. The Tritan body is rugged but should NOT go in the dishwasher — high heat will cloud the material over time. Wipe the base with a damp cloth; never submerge it. Descale the PEM membrane monthly with a 50/50 mix of distilled water and food-grade citric acid (or white vinegar): fill, run one 10-minute cycle, then rinse and cycle plain filtered water twice before drinking.
Troubleshooting
- Cloudy Tritan body: Almost always caused by dishwasher heat or harsh detergents. Hand-wash only with mild dish soap to prevent this.
- Weak bubbling: Time to descale — see Maintenance above. If descaling doesn't restore performance, contact support.
- Bottle won't power on: Charge for a full 4-5 hours. If the LED still doesn't respond, swap to a different USB-C cable before reaching out to support.
- Leak at the base: Check the silicone seal between body and base for grit or wear. Clean, reseat, and hand-tighten — never with tools.
- Off-taste: Run a descaling cycle and rinse thoroughly. Always start with clean filtered, spring, or mineral water.
FAQs
- How often should I charge the Tritan Sport? Every 20 cycles, or whenever the LED indicates low battery.
- Can I put ice in the Tritan body? Yes — ice is fine. Just avoid water above 120°F (50°C), which damages the PEM membrane.
- Is the Tritan body dishwasher safe? No. Hand-wash only. Dishwasher heat clouds the material and shortens the bottle's life.
- Can I take this on a flight? Yes. Empty the body before security, and either carry on or check the base separately if you prefer.
- What's the warranty? 1-year manufacturer warranty on the electronics, 30-day satisfaction guarantee on the bottle.
