How long does the water usually stay cold cuz mine gets warm very quickly and I usually have to put a lot of ice in it for the water to stay cold

If I put ice water in at night before I go to bed at 9 it's still icy when I wake up in the morning.

I usually put two cups of ice in mine and that keeps my drinks cold all day. I found if I used chipped ice it doesn't stay cold as long.

I have purchased two bottles, a larger and a smaller, and found that if I put cold water in (without ice) it will stay cold for probably 8 hours. Even if I leave it in the car on a hot summer day it stays cold. I don't know how quickly yours gets warm, but if it's within 1 -3 hours then my guess is that your triple insulation is broken somewhere.

My water stays cold without ice for many hours; if I add ice there is ice in the bottle the next day. Keeps things nice and cold.

The heat doesn't really heat the water but keeps it warm a little longer. We put in 1/2 gallon of really hot water straight from our tap and it lasts about 15-20 min. I doubt you'd notice the heat feature at all with cold water. I think one of the buttons controls the heat but really you'd have to buy one of the really, really expensive models to actually get created heat. We like the rest of it though.

Hot/warm water would be nice, but I think it would take a while to get to the right temperature. You would be blasted with cold water for a while in the beginning anyway. I have gotten use to the cold water only and don't see it as a problem.

Hi Janice... I keep the water in the cleaner side if some left over from first cleaning. I use it later so it is cold and I've found itto work well... not sure if that is what manufacturer had in mind, but my experience shows it works. Perhaps mix in warm water and then let it cool???

Mine never feels warm, but I know it works. It only comes on when the temp is below freezing and I don't think it warms the water to hot. You wouldn't want that anyway, it would evaporate too fast

I have never had water in mine last more than an hour, within an hour its stay cool.

I admit I thought the people who complained about the cold water was just being dramatic. I live in the midwest and I had to install mine with just the cold water until we could get a different size water line for the hot water. The cold water is really cold!! I didn't like it at all. Just adding a little bit of hot water makes all the difference in the world. I would highly recommend going for the warm water one.

It keeps warm better than cold, but, today was really hot and when I got back in our car after having the cup in there for an hour, the water was lukewarm, as compared with the water in my plastic water bottle, which was hot.

Marissa, sad to say I returned mine. We took 4 different bottles (this one amongst the 4) to disneyworld because I wanted the water to stay icy cold. The 2 thermos funtainers (both for kids but they make thermos adult with straw) and the Eco Vessel insulated stainless steel with straw stayed icy cold in 98 degree weather with ice cubes floating in them at end of day at parks. Sadly, this black one, the water was warm within 4 hours. Couldn't believe it. My main thing is that they have to stay cold. This one did NOT. I know the thermos is dishwasher safe but the Eco you are suppose to wash by hand which kind if stinks. But cold water is my priority. This one sadly did not keep it cold.

depends on how cold water is, but it wasn't unusual for me to get a good 2-3 hours on medium. It gets very hot out of the water, so be careful

It does not maintain the temperature of the water. The temp. falls to warm/cool within 15 minutes or so. Even still, the size, strength of the jets is very good and I love mine!

I can't tell you the temp exactly. I love my water super cold though. The water that comes out is very cold in mine. The only thing I've found that would be colder is if I either put a ice tray full of ice. It seems to be the same temp as if I had pulled a bottle of water out of the fridge. The only exception to that is if I've emptied the cooler. Meaning I can get a litter to 2 litters out then the new dropped down water will take a little bit to cool down. Maybe about 15 min. I haven't really checked the time since I don't pull more than that out at a time.

If you keep it open as pictured every couple hours you will need to add ice (drain out some water) if it is closed it lasted a lot longer

The water needs to be hot when you pour it in. After that, it keeps it hot a long time.

I also noticed the ice melting sooner than I thought it would. Since they are large, I thought they would stay much longer than regular ice. I am not sure where I saw it, but the supplier had some tips on how to keep the ice frozen longer...I will look and see if I can find where that was. Maybe if you contact the supplier - maybe reply to an email they might send...they might be able to get you this info faster...just a thought.

If you have very hot water stored in there it takes maybe a minute or so with only 4oz. My BM is usually kept cold and it really only takes 2 minutes or so to get it to above room temp. Works really well
