Blu thermal bottle is the world’s first flask that contains a replaceable filter attached to the flask, capable of removing up to 99.99% of contaminants in all four contamination zones (Aesthetic, Chemical, Dissolved Solids, and even Radiological) from your water while retaining the beneficial trace nutrients and minerals and simultaneously alkalizing it up to a pH of 9.5.
It can last up to 200 gallons (approximately 6-8 months). The dirtier the water, the fewer the gallons the filter can clean.
The Regular filter is capable of removing up to 99.99% of contaminants in all four contamination zones. The pH filter is capable of removing up to 99.99% of contaminants in all four contamination zones along with simultaneously alkalizing the water up to pH 9.5. Both the filters are capable of retaining the beneficial trace nutrients and minerals in your water.

Yes, you can use the Blu thermal bottle for other beverages, but make sure you remove the
filter from the cap before you pour beverages other than water into the flask. When using without the filter, you can also add fruit, flavoring, and other supplements of your choice.
We recommend that you wash your flask regularly. If water sits in the bottle for a long time, it will become stagnant and create a foul odor. This can also occur due to the fruit, flavoring or other supplements you choose to add to your flask. Make sure to remove the
filter from the cap prior to washing the bottle and wash by hand or a dishwasher.
We recommend that you wash your Blu thermal bottle once a day, but it’s really up to your personal preference.
The flask can be washed with lukewarm water and mild liquid soap. Be sure to remove the filter from the flask cap before washing. The filter should not be washed, only rinsed and flushed with water.

Using the flask and activating the filter is very easy. Once you’ve unpackaged your flask and removed the safety seal from the bottom of the filter, you will need to flush to activate it. Twist on the provided flushing tip to the filter and flush it with water for 3-5 minutes before you use it. Finally, fill up your flask with water and #SipBlu! Don’t forget to remove the filter when you want to use the flask for other liquids.
To remove the filter, you will have to first remove the cap from the flask. Then you can twist off the filter from the straw. If necessary, you can also twist the straw off from the cap.
If this occurs, there’s a quick fix you can try! Since it seems that the mouthpiece came loose, all you have to do is raise the mouthpiece and firmly pop it back into place. If the problem persists, please contact us and we would be happy to help!
