Get to know your Aqua Bottle


Aqua bottle technical information

 

We know that our bottles look great and make a fantastic addition to any adventure, sport, or your day-to-day life, but more importantly they work to keep you going. That is why, when we were designing our bottles, greater focus went on what they can do rather than how they look doing it. (We did spend some time on the look and Ergonomics mind!)
With Aqua you are paying for its technical qualities as well as its great looks. 
 

Let’s look at the details. 

  • These stainless-steel bottles are 100% BPA (Bisphenol A) free and use a food-grade healthy material for hydration. 
  • They are double-walled with a vacuum layer, keeping your liquids cold for 24 hours and hot for 12. Meaning that you can go about your day and hours later still have a cool refreshing drink.
  • The cap is leakproof, with a vacuum seal. Not only does this take an aspect of the worry away from placing it in your bag, it also helps to maintain temperature control. 
  • You will be surprised by how lightweight the bottles are as well as durable. The way the bottle is designed to narrow at the mouth offers spill-free drinking. 
  • You get a free carabiner clip with every bottle. Perfect for keeping your bottle close and safe, ready for whenever you need rehydrating.

Okay, why use a reusable bottle - are plastic bottles that bad? 

We are sure you have heard it all before, why plastic single-use bottles are so harmful to the environment. It has been a big topic over the past few years, but it is a topic that is incredibly important. Although the war against plastic pollution has been prominent, it is said that in the UK we only recycle 45% of plastics. Together with the fact, as a nation we use 7.7 billion plastic bottles per year, averaging out at 117 bottles per person, it is easy to understand the damage it is doing. Using reusable bottles may be a small change we can make, but it is those small changes made by everyone that help to make a difference.
It is now even easier to fill up your water bottles on the go. Most places are happy to refill your water bottle for you, and there is also an app to help find these places. If you download the RefillHQ app – you can see every RefillHQ station across the country and avoid the water hunt. 
 

A few extra facts:

- Producing single-use plastic, filling and transporting to market is expensive. Remember, bottled water companies produce plastic bottles and not water. 
- That bottle of water you brought last year – still exists, somewhere on this planet. Even if you recycle it, only a part of it will be recycled. 
- They are hazards to our animal friends. Birds, marine wildlife, and fish get caught up or swallow parts of the bottle. 
- They are toxic! If thrown into the ocean, they start to turn into something referred to as plastic smog. This is mistakenly eaten by fish, then by its prey and ultimately by us. 
 
Deciding to use reusable bottles may seem like a small and insignificant change to make, but if we all make small changes together, we will make a big difference.
