Has anyone had an issue with this product separating in the bottle? I had all kinds of water in mine and no matter how long I shook it, couldn't get it to reconstiture to it's original state. It was only about 3 months old and was kept in an insulated...

I have found that after this product has frozen the materials separate as you have found. In my experience once it warms up and it is shaken well, as the instructions describe, it is fine and it works like new.

It does matter in a way! After 5 months I noticed a reduced output of water so I flipped it upside down after shaking it and the flow has now returned to normal so I feel I can extend its life a bit longer. I'll replace it in a couple more months I think.

I just installed this ice maker and am having the same issue. The ice comes off in a big block and does not separate without beating on it with the scoop. Still does not completely separate. We have reduced the temperature and it is a bit better. Going to reduce the temp a couple more degrees and see if that is the fix.

I also had the same problem, had to transfer the entire container to a larger container. I will not buy this brand again, it is very strong and you just can't keep it sealed in the container it came in. I ended up throwing it all out.

This bottle us very large, about twice as large as the last soda container I used. I noticed it right off by the weight if the bottle when empty. But I haven't noticed it only fizzing only half the bottle. I do try to use it within 2 days as the fizz tends to weaken after sitting around more than that. If I have it laying around longer than 2 days, I actually push the nozzle to dump the water as I want to keep it fresh and clean as possible. I actually like the smaller container as not as heavy and doesn't take as much water. But it tajes the same charger whether either container. When I refill a new batch, I usually shake it like 20-30 times and use realky cold water which makes it fizz better. This bottle us very large, about twice as large as the last soda container I used.

I have not had any problems, but for some reason Amazon does not seem to be carrying it any longer. If you go to their web site, i.e. http://aigehydration.com, under contact, you can send an email. I hope they fix any company problems, because I love the water bottle...

I have not had that problem with mine. But I learned from a previous type of bottle that water does indeed mold in confined spaces if left standing more than a day or so. I would suggest removing the blue cover and run the glass liner and lid thru the dishwasher. I have done this with no problems, except the synthetic grip is awfully hard to then replace on the bottle. It would also be good to hand wash the grip and let it dry thoroughly overnight, as the moldy smell can come from that.

I have read some, not all reviews share the same issue. For me the inserts did not freeze, and whatever color the liquid was, colored the lining/insides and the drink tasted weird..... The company replaced mine, and they work great.

I would shake it up well before you use it. And just make sure you're rubbing it in all the way and not leaving it too heavy anywhere. If you think it's a bad bottle though, just ask for a replacement.

I just put it in warm water for 15 minutes dump that out.Thenadd water shake the water bottle for about a minute or so let itset for5-10 minutes and drink. Do not refrigerate. They have a websiteAlso I believe it is youth waters.com I know that they could give a lot more Instruction with their product I just researched a lot!

I've had two lids break on me. I LOVE the water bottle too, but this is definitely a weak point of the product. Try contacting the manufacturer. I reached out to the manufacturer and they were kind enough to send a replacement for the first broken lid. They need to step it up though and offer either additional replacements of the option to just order lid replacements. The weakness of the lid is borderline product defect IMO.

Yes, I have the same problem. I then heat some water and set the bottle in it for awhile. I try not to leave it to long. I don't want to damage it. I hate having to do that.

The last time I bought it, it was still in a plastic bottle. Yeah, that is a bummer. It probably gets filled when the molasses is warm.

I purchased mine a fee months ago. It appears to me it should last longer. It was 6 degrees here last evening and my water wasn't frozen. Would definitely contact the company on that.

I've had one of these for I would say 25 years or so. I had it in the tube it came in & somehow it ended up in the cellar. I found it a couple years ago and it was stiff as a board in the tube. I was ready to throw it out, but soaked it in water & then threw it in washing machine. It came out like new, with only some darker spots & I'm still using it to this day. I store it in a small Tupperware container filled with water. I'm wondering if these new ones are made to last as long as the original ones. If so, I'm going to get a new one as this one has some stains from rubber parts or oil.

My bottle did not have anything floating in it. I would say that you should contact the manufacturer .

I've not had any trouble as yet ; I shake it every time I take it out of fridge to use it . I have 4 dogs I give it to every day . Try shaking the bottle before use ; this is the only thing I can think of ! Hope I was of some help for you !
