FAQs
Can I put boiling water in this bottle?
It is recommended to use hot water rather than boiling water to maintain the integrity of the rubber and ensure safe handling.
How long does the heat last?
Depending on the ambient temperature, a 2-litre bottle can typically retain warmth for 3 to 5 hours.
Is the cover machine washable?
Yes, the fleece cover is removable and can be washed, though a gentle or hand-wash cycle is recommended to preserve the fabric.
What does the BS1970:2012 standard mean?
This is a British safety standard that dictates the manufacturing, material quality, and testing procedures for hot water bottles to prevent leakage and bursting.
How do I store the bottle during summer?
Drain all the water, let the interior dry completely, and store it in a cool, dark place with the stopper left off.
Does this come with a warranty?
Yes, it includes a 2-year guarantee from the date of purchase against manufacturing defects.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the neck
Ensure the stopper is threaded correctly and tightened fully. Check that the rubber washer inside the stopper is present and not damaged.
Bottle feels too hot to touch
Always ensure the fleece cover is securely in place before use to provide an insulating layer between the rubber and your skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your bottle, hold it by the neck in an upright position and fill slowly to avoid splashing. Once filled, expel the air by gently lowering the bottle onto a flat surface until water appears at the opening before screwing the stopper on tightly. Always inspect the rubber for signs of wear or cracking before each use. To clean, remove the fleece cover and machine wash on a delicate cycle, while the rubber bottle itself should be wiped with a damp cloth and air-dried away from direct heat sources. When not in use, drain completely and store in a cool, dry, and dark place with the stopper removed.
