When removing the bottle cap to replace the now empty water bottle, it has a slippery feel to the inner rubber rim? Why is that?

I don't know but I think it's like a mold or something like that I always wash mine before puting it back on.

It has a rubberized feel to it. In the places that are worn from being in my pocket, it feels more slick/hard plastic.

It sounds like you have a defective bottle. It should easily squeeze out of the bottle.

I had the same issue at first. I still don't understand what the top cap is for. To drink out of it, unscrew the whole top. Where you pour the water in is also where you're supposed to drink.

If you remove the plastic piece that sits right at the top of the bottle... Flush with the top..looks like a straw when you pull out the entire piece...using the large plastic key that comes with the ISI..then you will be able to empty excess water that gets trapped. Then, whenever you make a new bottle of water, be extra careful to screw the dispenser top on evenly and tightly. These two things are important to the process. If this doesn't help, I would guess the top is not screwing on evenly since the threads are stripped. Good luck.

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.

It has two parts to it, the outer hard plastic part and the inner rubber part. The hard plastic part is smooth, no grip. However the edges of the rubber part that show have grip.

This may help. I've discovered a Stop Line just under the white pump assembly on the cap that tightens down on the bottle. If you loosen the cap all the way, it slides on completely and allows the pump to seat better on the bottle. NOT loosening it enough caused the problem some of you are describing. Loosen all the way, drop the pump on bottle and tighten as usual.

The bottle is pretty thin. Even my cup holders are adjustable, it keep fell down when I applied the break because top sporty cap is heavy.

My bottle is leaking because there is no rubber seal on the inside of the cap. I am currently looking for a new lid or I will go buy a rubber insert to keep it from leaking.

The cap actually "screws" on to the top of the cup. Nothing spills out. There are grooves inside the cup and on the cap. The inside of the lens (cup) is stainless steel. the cap is plastic and has an o-ring to seal properly. The cap is actually clear on the top. No rubber in/on the cap (only the o-ring is rubber-from what I can tell). Hope that helps. - rdk

Meaning once it is put on bottle it can only be removing by peeling off. If you want to refill bottle you will have to remove cap and put on a new one.

The cap outside is stainless. The inside is plastic, with a stainless disk/plug where the juice or water would contact the lid. I don't know if the plastic is for a better seal or to minimize abrasions on the top of bottle. I do recommend the bottles if your looking for a glass bottle with something better than a simple plastic cap.

It has a hard, slick rubber feel. I had the smooth plastic but like this better. My smooth plastic split and cracked. I don't think I will have that problem with this one

yes, you have to remove the cap. Its an open crock. You just slowly pour the water until the bottle is on top of the crock. I never spill:) I love my crock!

Funny you should ask that question today I changed the bottle, it sort of just spit and sprayed just what would seem the end of the bottle, so I took it off and sure enough it was gone...you'll know when it's gone.

The screw cap is interchangeable with a Nalgene 1-qt bottle. Inside diameter of the throat may be a bit narrower.With the way the entire top comes off, I'm wondering why this would be an issue at all?
