Proper Care and Cleaning

The HydraCoach disassembles into seven main components.
This allows you to clean the system easily and thoroughly.
The best methods for cleaning the individual components
are as follows:
Bottle – Bottle – The bottle is made up of BPA-Free
material. Wash bottle by hand in warm soapy water only after
separation from the rest of the HydraCoach components. The
bottle can also be placed in dishwasher (Bottle Only); Do not
place any other piece of HydraCoach in dishwasher.
Computer – The Computer may be polished with a soft cloth
in most cases. However, a slightly damp cloth may be used
if necessary. Note: Be careful not to scratch the lens area.
Never use solvents, abrasives, or harsh chemicals or materials
to clean the Computer. Never submerge the Computer in
water or other liquid medium. DO NOT place
in the dishwasher.
Impeller Assembly and Straw Tubing – To thoroughly
clean the Impeller Assembly and Tubing, they should fi rst
be soaked in warm soapy water, making sure that no air is
trapped within the components. Next, fl ush the system with
a stream of warm running water through the bottom end, or
the end that the longer Draw Tube attaches. Once fl ushed
thoroughly, it is now ready for use. To dry, the Tubing should
be disconnected from the Impeller Assembly, air blown
through the components to rid the system of excess water,
and then left to air dry. DO NOT put in dishwasher.
Mouthpiece, Upper Cap and Bezel – These components
are best washed by hand in warm soapy water and then rinsed
clean. However, they may be placed in a dishwasher's upper
rack and away from heating elements if absolutely necessary.
They may then be wiped dry with a soft cloth or left to air dry.
DO NOT put in dishwasher
When not in use, the HydraCoach should be allowed to dry
completely and then stored away for safe keeping until you
want to use it again.

Troubleshooting

The HydraCoach seems to be reading low.
You may be sucking too lightly. Try sucking a little harder through the
Mouthpiece. (See the Helpful Tips section in this manual for more details)
The HydraCoach seems to be reading high.
Make sure that you are not sucking any air through the system. Ensure that
there is always water contained within the Impeller Assembly and Tubing
while in use. (See the Helpful Tips section in this manual for more details)
The Computer does not register my fl uid intake after I drink
from the HydraCoach.
The Hydration Program has not been started, or is paused. (See the
HydraCoach Operation section in this manual for more details)
The HydraCoach is assembled improperly. (See the Disassembling and
Reassembling the HydraCoach section in this manual for more details)
The Impeller may be bound or seized. Check to make sure that the Impeller
spins freely within its housing.
The Computer behaves erratically, experiences "lock-ups" or the
display is weak or fades in and out.
The Battery may be weak and/or dying.
The Computer's LCD and other sensitive components do not operate well
in extremely hot or cold conditions. Return the HydraCoach to a less
extreme environment.
Check the components for cracks or breaks, and the fi t of all assemblies to
ensure that the system is air and water tight. A system that is compromised
by air or water leaks will cause the HydraCoach to malfunction. Tighten any
loose fi ttings.
The Computer's display is blank or does not light up.
The Battery is completely dead, not installed or the factory installed
Insulation Tab may still be inside the battery compartment. (See the Battery
Information and Installation section in this manual for more details)
It is diffi cult to suck water through the tubing and mouthpiece.
The Mouthpiece and/or Air Check Valve may not be fully cut through. Try
pinching and rolling the Mouthpiece between your thumb and index fi nger
to open the slit completely. Run a fi ngernail across the Air Check Valve to
separate the four triangular shaped fl aps from one another to allow air to
more easily pass through.
