Troubleshooting
Liquid does not flow when sipping.
Ensure the cup is filled with liquid and the lid is properly sealed. Check that the sip spout is not obstructed. The regulated flow requires a gentle sucking action to draw liquid through.
Flow rate seems inconsistent.
Confirm that the liquid is not too thick or contains solids. Clean the cup thoroughly, paying attention to the sip mechanism, as residue can affect flow. Ensure the user is applying consistent suction.
Cup is difficult to clean.
Use a narrow bottle brush to reach inside the cup and around the lid mechanism. Disassemble parts if possible and safe to do so, following manufacturer guidelines, for thorough cleaning.
