Customer Testimonials
The Hydrant water bottle has been life-changing for me. As I only have the use of one arm I can now drink hands-free and continue to do work on my computer while drinking. The bottle fits nicely on the side of my wheelchair and the clips securely to my top/jumper. Before purchasing this I would only drink about 600ml a day. Now I can drink up to 2L a day, which is fantastic – The best purchase I’ve ever made! – E.P, UK
Hydrant Water Bottle – FAQ
Q1: Does the bottle need to be placed higher than my head when lying flat for the fluid to flow through the tube?
Placing the bottle slightly above your head is helpful because it allows gravity to assist the flow, making it easier to drink—especially for people with reduced suction strength. However, for most users with average suction ability, the system works well even without elevation. If the bottle is placed higher, the siphon effect, once the tube is primed, makes it easy to sip without significant effort.
Q2: Will it work if the bottle is next to my head?
Yes, it will work if the bottle is placed level with your head. You’ll need to apply a bit more suction to draw fluid compared to when the bottle is elevated, but for most users this isn’t a problem. If sipping feels difficult, raising the bottle slightly above head level will make drinking easier.
Q3: Can the bottle be placed lower than my head, and will suction hold for up to 60 minutes for intermittent sipping?
Yes. The Hydrant features a bite valve that keeps liquid in the tube after the first sip. This means you don’t need to keep sucking—just bite and sip when you need to over time. While drawing fluid from a bottle positioned below your head is a bit harder, most users won’t find it an issue. The system is designed for practical, on-demand sipping without requiring continuous suction.
