Sportline Hydracoach - Manual (Page 23)

Some useful information and insights to help you make
the most of your HydraCoach experience…
Drinking from the HydraCoach using the Mouthpiece is a
two-step process. With your lips around the mouthpiece,
locate your teeth on the indents at the tip and bite down to
open the slit. To ensure accuracy take a good suck in, just
like you would with a straw, to draw the fl uid from the bottle
up in to your mouth. When fi nished, simply remove your
mouth from the Mouthpiece and the slit will automatically
seal itself to protect against accidental spillage.
The PHG value may be adjusted throughout the day to
accommodate your personal hydration needs. The PHG
value may be adjusted up to address greater fl uid needs
as a result of exercise, the environment, illness or health
conditions, pregnancy or other variables. The PHG value
may also be adjusted down to account for fl uids consumed
from alternate sources other than the HydraCoach. Before
embarking on a custom hydration program, please consult
your doctor on all issues related to your personal hydration
requirements.
The Bottle should be refi lled when the water line reaches
the ----REFILL---- mark on the lower back portion of the
bottle. This ensures that no air is sucked through the
system resulting in erroneous readings. The accuracy of
the HydraCoach relies on maintaining a “closed system” in
which water is captured within the Impeller Assembly and
Tubing at all times.
Do not tip the bottle too far forward while you drink. Think
of it more like drinking from a straw in a cup. Keep the bottle
oriented in a vertical position for it to work most effectively.
The bottle may be slightly tipped forward while drinking for
ease of use. Do not tip it upside down to drink as you would
with open lid or squirt style bottles.
