Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the stopper
Ensure the stopper is screwed on straight and tight; check the rubber washer inside the cap for debris or damage.

Gently brush the fleece with a soft-bristled brush after washing to restore its plush texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To fill the bottle safely, hold it by the neck in an upright position and fill it slowly to two-thirds of its capacity to avoid splashing. Once filled, expel the air by gently pressing the bottle until water appears at the opening, then screw the stopper on firmly. To care for your product, remove the fleece cover and hand wash it in cool water to maintain its softness. Always inspect the rubber bottle for signs of wear, such as cracking or thinning, before each use, and store it in a cool, dark place when empty with the stopper removed to allow the interior to dry completely.
