🌍 Why It Matters
The Hydrant system was developed to solve a real problem: how to stay hydrated when lifting a bottle isn’t easy or safe. This spare tube is a small part with a big impact — helping prevent dehydration and promoting independence. It’s part of the reason we stock it as Disability innovation specialists and supporters of disabled entrepreneurs.
