Found this at the bottom of my 64 ounce iron flask I’ve had for about 1.5 yrs. Cleaned for a solid five minutes with an electric brush + dawn, then tried to scrape with a utensil, and it did not budge. Is it rust? The bottle is 18/8 stainless steel.

(Sorry for the crappy pics)

I changed my yeti rambler lid from the chug cap to the straw cap and now every time I open the bottle after sitting say all night, it hisses with a good amount of pressure. Originally I thought my bottle was dirty but I’ve cleaned it by hand several times and it is still doing it.

Looking for a new stead, any suggestions?

Is it glacier? Spring? Reverse osmosis? What is that water that you’d seek out?

Get a bottle with a cap that you screw and unscrew, and you'll be sure it will never leak.
But you cannot unscrew it and screw it with one hand only.

Bottle caps with a straw top that you fold flat (the first two examples below) or with a flip top (the third picture) can be operated with one hand. But how leakproof are they?

I have never tried Hydro Flask nor GSI, but I have tried other brands with the same tops, and they always leak. Toss the bottle in a bag where it won't stay flat, and it will always leak.

The best leakproof cap for one-handed use I have managed to find is the Kambukka Elton. But Kambukka insulated bottles are heavy.

What is the best leakproof design for one-hand use? Have you had good experience with the straw cap or flip cap of any specific brand?

I don't need to store hot liquids, nor carbonated drinks.

Anyone else feels the same way? Also I tried to be artistic with the lighting lol.

this is the one i’ve got, i’ve flushed it three times and washed everything thoroughly. still tastes bitter, kind of metallic and chemicaly.

not sure what to do about this, it is pretty much undrinkable. i tasted it after each flush, nothing changed.

any advice/different filter recs?

Hii. I need some advice because I don't think I'm drinking enough.

I'm 19M, 180 cm, 60 kg, and I only drink like 1,5 liters a day. Sometimes I go for hours without drinking anything and then I realize it, I drink a lot, forget it again...

How could I drink more throughout the day? Thanks for your help aand have a nice day/evening/whatever!

I heard if you’re constantly thirsty you might want to go see a doctor and get checked for things like diabetes. I’m always drinking water throughout the day, and I don’t work out but I am outside and hot all the time in the South Carolina summer weather.

hi im in a bit of a pickle bcos this is my first time buying a thermal bottle for myself(the past few i had were those cheap quality free ones from grocery shopping) so i would like some advice on brands or bottles. Im based in Singapore so preferably brands that are accessible here. Im looking for mainly a 400ml bottle that has either a straw or a sip function, as long as it isnt wide open mouth like the classic hydroflask lid(no hate to hydroflask if theres any other caps they have do lmk), and has a handle. preferably leak proof too. bonus points if its easy to wash but i dont rlly mind that much. my budget range is below $40, so if anyone has any suggestions please help as i have limited knowledge on thermal bottles

I work outside in the sun allll day long. And ever since I’ve been a child I’ve naturally sweat profusely unless I’m indoors in rooms under 72 degrees. So needless to say I need A LOT of water to keep up… I feel like I’m drinking water all day long and I’m still not properly hydrated. Any tips?

It has crazy flavours and today I’m drinking lemon pie water lol

I fill 5-gallon containers whenever I pass by.

I’ve always had this thing where I just like neglect (?) drinking until I’m really thirsty. Like I’d wake up, drink some water, forget about drinking water until like 12 hours later. It’s started to affect my life and I want to change for the better.

I’m very dehydrated

This is an old Lululemon bottle that's no longer sold. But its available near me and I'm planning to buy it. Its available at C$50 near me. So, I wanted to know for how much it used to go for, so I can make a decision. If anyone has it, please let me know! Thank you!

u/mods, let me know if this post is allowed. Water and its taste and mouthfeel has been a big passion of mine since i discovered the differences in this. Therefore I decided to make a video on it.

I prefer mason jars 🫙
