Top positive review from the United States

My husband and I recently decided to start living healthier. We are using an app to track our calorie intake and it also tracks water. It was starting to be a pain to remember to go into the app and log it every time. We started just trying to guess and remember what we drank at work that day. So we started looking into smart bottles as a convenience for us to track our water intake. The Hidrate Spark 2 was among the highest reviews, then I noticed the Spark 3 had just been released. We picked it up here and have been using it for about 2 weeks now, and we both love it. It has definitely encouraged me to increase my water intake, the subtle reminders throughout the day are not annoying at all. Small encouragements in the app also help, such as keeping track of your number of days that you hit your goal, I am on a 4-day streak right now. It does miss a few small sips here and there, but eventually, they add up and it does register them as you drink more. For us, it was worth every penny spent.

Hidrate Smart Water Bottle Pro Manufacturing Process

Brief description: Stainless steel arrives at the factory in the form of pines and sheets –> Produce outer bottle, inner bottle and smart module –> Assembly and welding –> Vacuuming –> Decorating.

1. Manufacture Outer Bottle

1.1 Pipe cutting: Cut raw material – stainless steel pipe – to the appropriate length.

1.2 Expansion

There are basically two different ways to make stainless steel into the shape of a bottle: water expansion and stretching.

Water Expansion: Stainless steel pipes are raw material for this method. First, stainless steel pipe is put on the water expansion machine. The pipe swells into a bottle shape under the huge pressure of the water. With this method, the bottle formed is with no bottom, so a round stainless steel plate will be welded onto it to form a complete bottle.

Stretch: Stainless steel sheets are raw material for this method. First, the stainless steel sheets are cut into round plates at appropriate size, and then we use a punch press to stretch the stainless steel plate into a cylinder with a bottom.

The outer bottle can be formed by any of these two methods. Water expansion is more popular.

1.3 Separating: If using water expansion process to form outer bottle, then separating process is a must.

1.4 Shaping: Use a large press and follow the “Bottle Shaping Guide” to ensure that the pits, size and shape of the outer bottle meet the requirements.

1.5 Necking: Use a machine to squeeze the upside of the bottle to be a bottle neck.

1.6 Thread Rolling/Making: Threads are made with a special threading machine. Ensure that the thread meets requirements.

1.7 Cleaning: Removes lubricating oil and dust during molding.

1.8 Inspection

2. Manufacture Inner Bottle

2.1 Pipe cutting: Cut raw material – stainless steel pipe – to the appropriate length.

2.2 Expansion. Water expansion or stretch. The inner bottle can be formed by any of these two methods. Water expansion is more popular.

10. Electrolysis Polishing

Through the interaction of current and electrolyte to improve the micro-geometry of the metal surface, reduce the surface roughness of the metal, so as to achieve the purpose of bright and smooth surface of the stainless steel bottle.
