Congratulations! As a new owner of the HydraCoach, you recognize the importance of proper daily hydration to a healthy, active lifestyle. The HydraCoach is the world’s first interactive water bottle. It calculates your personal hydration needs, tracks your real-time fluid consumption, paces you throughout the day and motivates you to achieve and maintain optimal hydration.
who should use the HydraCoach? Well, just about everyone. Proper hydration is critical to the health and well-being of all people regardless of age, sex or fitness level. This is particularly true for athletes and active individuals, anyone trying to lose weight, aging adults and children. However, most find it difficult to simply remember to drink fluids on a regular basis, let alone calculate and track their daily intake.
d ive ply what are the benefits of proper hydration? Water is the most fundamental nutrient to the human body. We can survive weeks without food but only days without water. Nearly every bodily function and cellular action requires water. At birth we are roughly 75% water but less than 50% water by adulthood. Proper hydration has been linked to everything from increasing metabolism to reducing the risks of some types of cancer.
how much water do we need on a daily basis? Proper hydration is personal and determined by many factors such as gender, age, weight, environmental conditions and activity level. To ensure you are consuming the correct amount of fluids, our best advice is to consult your doctor. The HydraCoach prompts you to enter your weight into the patented Hydration Monitor. With this information it automatically sets your Personal Hydration Goal (PHG) which is calculated as half your body weight (lbs.

Disassembling and Reassembling the HydraCoach The HydraCoach can be easily disassembled, and reassembled, to change the battery, refill the bottle, replace a part, or to clean. There are seven main components to the HydraCoach. The exploded view illustration shows where each of these parts locate in relation to one another, and explains how they all fit together. To ensure that the system works properly, it is important that these components join to one another properly.
At the same time, the Impeller Assembly will also disengage from the short Connector Tube and the Upper Cap. To replace the Impeller Assembly with Tubing, simply reverse this process. Make sure that both of the rails are aligned properly so that the Impeller Assembly’s locking tabs engage the notches in the Upper Cap. Gently push the Impeller Assembly up and into the short Connector Tube and the Upper Cap making sure that the barbed fitting is securely inserted within.
COMPUTER AND BEZEL The Computer detaches from the Bezel by means of a tab and notch system. Simply pinch both sides of the Bezel inward while gently pressing on the Computer’s face, and the Computer will come free from the Bezel. Note: The Computer only fits within the Bezel from the rear and in one orientation. To replace the Computer, simply place it into the back of the Bezel and press until you feel the locking tabs of the Bezel engage the notches in the Computer.
PROCEDURE FOR REMOVING AND REINSTALLING THE BATTERY IS AS FOLLOWS: STEP 1: Remove the screw from the battery door on the back of the computer using an appropriate screwdriver. Note: The screw will come free when unfastened, so be careful not to lose it during this process. STEP 2: Using a fingernail within either of the two pry slots, gently lift the battery door open and remove the battery from the battery compartment.
After installing a new battery, you will need to re-program the HydraCoach. Please follow initial set-up mode instructions on page 15.
The Intelligent Water Bottle Personal Hydration Calculator Automatically calculates a recommended daily Personal Hydration Goal. Average Consumption Displays the average amount of fluid consumed per hour. Drink Monitor Monitors the total amount of fluid consumed throughout the day. Sip Tracker Displays the percentage of fluid consumed relative to your Personal Hydration Goal. Time Tracker Displays the amount of time elapsed for the day to reinforce proper pacing. 14 3906IS0ISPORE.

Units of Weight Select LB (Pounds) or KG (Kilograms) as the program’s default unit of weight. Note: The default setting for Units of Weight is Pounds (LB). Current Weight Enter your current weight into the computer one digit at a time. Personal Hydration Goal (PHG) Based on your previously programmed weight, the computer will automatically calculate your recommended daily Personal Hydration Goal (PHG) value and display it on the screen.

Helpful Tips 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 fluid from the bottle up in to your mouth.
It is perfectly all right to put ice in the bottle to keep your drink cold. When adding water to the bottle, DO NOT fill to the very top. When the Upper Cap is screwed down, water will be displaced and spill out. When transporting a filled HydraCoach, especially within a bag or other confined space, make sure that the Mouthpiece does not become compressed or deformed in any way, or water will be released from the system.
Proper Care and Cleaning The HydraCoach disassembles into seven main components. (See Disassembling and Reassembling the HydraCoach) This allows you to clean the system easily and thoroughly. The best methods for cleaning the individual components are as follows: Bottle – The Bottle is made of BPA–Free material. It should be washed by hand in warm soapy water. It may then be wiped dry with a soft cloth or left to air dry. DO NOT place the bottle or the electronic module in the dishwasher.
Troubleshooting The HydraCoach seems to be reading low. You may be sucking too lightly. Try sucking a little harder through the Mouthpiece. (See the Helpful Tips section in this manual for more details) The HydraCoach seems to be reading high. Make sure that you are not sucking any air through the system. Ensure that there is always water contained within the Impeller Assembly and Tubing while in use.

The Personal Hydration Goal calculation offers only a general guideline for daily fluid consumption and may not be an appropriate recommendation for many.
