Optimum flow and leak-tightness thanks to cap valve
This water bottle has a cap specially designed for children. It has a transparent silicone valve inside to limit the flow of water, making it ideal for a child, and also to block the water outlet when the bottle is not upright, ensuring a watertight seal even with the cap open.
Make sure this valve is present and properly seated in its housing. If not, the bottle will leak.
It is advisable to remove it to clean your bottle.
How is isothermicity tested?
We tested this food bottle in the laboratory, in accordance with EN 12546-1, at an ambient temperature of 20°C, filled to capacity. The time taken to go from 95°C to 50°C (drinking temperature felt to be hot enough to drink) is 12 hours.
The secret of the isothermal water bottle?
The double-walled, air-vacuated stainless steel of this isothermal flask blocks heat by conduction and convection. A thin layer of copper limits heat exchange by radiation.
Here are a few tips to improve isothermics: fill your gourd with hot water for 5 minutes, then replace the water with your hot liquids and close it. The fuller the gourd, the better the preservation.
Please note that, as the gourd is very isothermal, liquids will remain hot for a long time.
How do I use a child's isothermal water bottle?
Do not use with carbonated drinks, fats (dairy products, oils, etc.) or acidic beverages (fruit juices, energy drinks).
Do not microwave, freeze or expose to flames.
The cap is fitted with a handle for easy carrying by hand, or for attaching to a backpack with a strap or carabiner.
How do I maintain and clean my child's insulated water bottle?
Before using for the first time, wash and rinse the entire product 3 times.
Clean your gourd after each use.
For optimal washing and drying by hand:
1. Separate all components, making sure to remove the transparent valve;
2. Wash by hand in hot, soapy water (use a fine, delicate brush to get into the nooks and crannies);
3. Rinse with clear water;
4. Leave to dry separately, leaving the cap open while drying.
How do I thoroughly clean my child's insulated water bottle?
The gourd can also be put in the dishwasher if required. Please note that the seal and the valve on the cap may come off. Be sure to put them back on if this happens, to guarantee the watertightness of your bottle.
In case of odor, soak the bottle overnight in a solution of water and baking soda.
