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.

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

No it wont feel warm. It has an automatic thermostat that will only come on as needed to keep the water from freezing. I just replaced the one i bought 8 years ago. I hope this one , which is the same brand, lasts as long

I usually put ice in it. It is not insulated, so it won't keep them cold for a long time.

This unit does not actually HEAT the water. It only aids in maintaining the water temperature. Hot, or at least warm, water must be put into the unit. And even then it only does an adequate job of keeping the water warm. If the unit is turned off, the water will moderate or cool quickly.

If you fill with cold water it will be cool. Because it's capacity is so large, it will remain cold or hot for a longer time. Remember it's also heavier.

I highly recommend warming the water first. Using cold water can be very uncomfortable.

They are not supposed to "cool" the water. They will keep water cold (I add ice cubes) for a good 20 hours. Contigo says there is a lifetime warranty on them. Maybe you have a faulty one??? Contact Amazon if that's where you bought it.

It is all dependent on how hot your water is. With hot tap water, it stays *hot* for 30minutes or so. Then it is just warm.

You wont really feel it being warm becuase it is meant to just keep the water from freezing but not to make the water warm. However mine only lasted for a year and last winter I had ice in the bowl every morning that I had to break up. think I am going to buy a different one for this winter

i do not have that problem. its only for cold water. my problem with this filter is, it don't last the way it used to to about 4 to 6 months. in my case, the last few filters lasted only about 6 to 8 weeks and the flow becomes very slow and restricted inspite of having the same source of city water.

I just read some other responses and on the losing coolness quickly, its like any bottle where the heat comes through....unless you put it into one of those insulators which slows down that process. One note...the colder the water is, the faster the heat flow is so that the cold absorbs the heat, so insulate it and the process slows. Former Heat/AC guy.

I Keep bottles Of Water In Mine. It Keeps Them Relatively Cold, But I Don't Know How Long It Takes For Them To Get Cold. I'm Happy With The Temperature Tho.

For about an hour - the first 20 - 30 mins are very, very cold - which my back likes. I think it was a great buy - I just wish it came with a cover. You need a towel or something from all the water it makes while defrosting. Hope that helps.

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 had an old one that I replaced due to getting hot water on cold side that lasted about about 15 seconds -there should only be a few seconds of hot coming out of the cold side so if it take more time there may be something wrong with the unit - mine is fine now. good luck- Steve

I've only used this through one winter, and other than the initial cold water that comes out when you first turn it on (if water hadn't been used in the house for awhile) I've never had it go cold while showering, even if water got turned on somewhere else during that time, or I adjusted the water temp during a shower. I used to have that problem with a Bosch unit I had and was told it could be caused by water glow, and was advised to get the unit serviced and the screens cleaned.
