Add Bottle From Profile
Within your profile screen click the button “Add Bottle.”
The app will search for a bottle close by. When it has
found a bottle it will prompt you to touch your phone to
the lid of the bottle and wait for it to connect. This can
take up to a couple of minutes so be patient. You will
want to make sure you are away from other Bluetooth
devices, as they might interfere with this process.
If your phone prompts you to pair with the bottle, click
the “Pair” button.
Once the bottle is paired it will glow and you will see
check marks with a message that says, “Succesfully
added the bottle”.
Fill your bottle completely with water. Make sure the
sensor stick is attached to the lid securely. Screw on the
bottle lid and let sit on a flat stable surface for 10
seconds to calibrate.
Attention
Your Hidrate Spark bottle contains two CR2032 Lithium
batteries. During the battery replacement process these
batteries represent a choking hazard. Do not expose
your bottle to fire, heat it in a microwave oven, place in a
freezer or otherwise expose it to extreme temperatures.
Remove the sensor stick before dishwashing the bottle
and lid. Do not put the sensor stick in the dishwasher. To
replace the batteries just purchase 2 new CR2032 coin
cells and follow the “Manually Replacing Batteries”
instructions on the back.
DO NOT put the bottle and sensor in the freezer as it
may damage the sensor.
DO NOT put the sensor stick in dishwasher as it may
damage the sensor.
DO NOT put hot liquids in the bottle as it may damage
the sensor.
DO NOT unscrew the lid of the sensor stick unless you
are changing the batteries.
DO NOT put water in your bottle unless your sensor stick
lid is screwed down all the way.

Quick Start Guide
Before putting water in your bottle, unscrew the cap of
the bottle and remove the sensor from the lid by grabbing
the stick close to the lid firmly in one hand while holding
the bottle cap in the other hand. Now in a snapping
motion remove the sensor from the bottle lid at an angle.
Remove the assembled battery pack from the bag, which
also contains extra batteries.
Remove the sensor stick lid and make sure the battery
pack is facing the correct way. The side with two metal
dots should be facing downwards and coming in contact
with the sensor stick.
Then screw down the cap keeping the battery pack in
place. When the triangular notches are aligned, the cap
has been screwed down fully and is watertight. The
sensor stick will glow if you have inserted the battery
pack the correct way. Then reattach the sensor stick to
the lid with the flat side of the sensor facing the hinge.
The lights are on the rounded side of the sensor stick so
those should be facing forward.
Press the drop button to open the lid and make sure the
arrow on the seal and on the inside of the lid are facing
the same direction. (This prevents the bottle from
leaking).
Attach the finger loop to the bottom metal pin on the back
of the lid by sliding the string underneath the metal pin
and then looping it through itself.
Download the free Hidrate Spark Smart Water Bottle app
from the app store or Google Play store. If you’ve already
done so and have set up the app then see the section
“Add Bottle From Profile.”
Ensure you have an internet connection and your
Bluetooth is turned on. Proceed through the app setup
steps until you reach the “pair with your bottle screen.” If
you are on Android, make sure to say “yes” to using
location.

Daily Goal
Your height, age, weight, activity level, gender, location,
temperature, humidity, elevation, and activity from any
fitness tracking apps you sync the app with will all factor
into the equation we have created to generate your
optimal hydration goal for each day.
Your recommended daily goal can change from day to
day, and sometimes even throughout the day if you are
suddenly very active or you experience a change in
location and weather.
You can also set a manual goal if you like. Go to settings
and click on “goal” and enter the amount of oz/ml that
you would like to set as your goal.
The pulsing 3 dots on the progress ring are an indicator
of where your progress should be at throughout the day
in order to meet your goal.
Glow Notifications &
Push Notifications
You can access your settings using the gear icon on
your profile screen for iOS, and within the navigation
tabs for Android.
Go to “Bottle Glows” and you can set how many times
you want it to glow throughout the day, and the glow
type.
Go to “Push Notifications” and choose how many you
would like to receive each day. Remember, you must
also allow push notifications from within your phone’s
settings to receive our witty reminders.
You can also choose to turn off glow notifications and
push notifications by setting the number to 0.
Also, go into your profile and personal info in settings to
set your awake and sleep times so that you only get
notifications when you are awake.
Cleaning & Care
DO NOT PUT THE SENSOR STICK IN THE
DISHWASHER!
The best way to clean your bottle is by removing the lid
and then immediately removing the sensor stick. Make
sure the lid of the sensor stick is screwed down all the
way so triangles on the sensor shaft align perfectly and
protrude into the triangle notches on the lid
Simply hand wash the sensor stick under the faucet with
warm water. DO NOT put the sensor stick in the
dishwasher as that may damage the sensor.
You can put the bottle and lid in the dishwasher. Be sure
to clean your bottle every so often. When the bottle and
lid are clean just reattach the sensor stick and you’re
good to go.
Also, remove and clean the mouth seal on the inside of
the lid. When you place the mouth seal inside the bottle
cap, ensure the two arrows point in the same direction.
Once the bottle is paired it will glow and you will see check
marks with a message that says, “Succesfully added the
bottle”. Then finish setting up the app by creating an
account. If you have trouble with this pairing process,
please email us at support@hidrate.me and our customer
support team will help you out.
Fill the bottle up to the fill line on the back and screw the
lid all the way down. Set the bottle on a flat surface for 10
seconds so that your bottle can calibrate. (You must do
this anytime you change batteries or remove the sensor
cap). Then drink normally.
Best Practice Tips
SET THE BOTTLE DOWN AFTER YOU FILL IT UP OR
DRINK OUT OF IT FOR SEVERAL SECONDS as there is
an orientation sensor in the bottle which will only take
accurate readings when the bottle is sitting upright on a
flat surface.
The bottle can store two days worth of data without
syncing before it starts deleting old data. You must open
the app, be within range (10 ft) of your bottle and sync with
the bottle at least every two days to ensure you keep all of
your data.
You can add more water to the bottle even if there is water
in it without messing up the amount you have drunk.
To dump out water you don’t want to drink, make sure to
remove the lid and pour out the water. If you pour it out of
the mouthpiece it will register as water you have drunk.
A bottle can only be associated with one account. You can
have multiple bottles per account, however you will only
be paired with one bottle at a time. This is usually the one
you were most recently close to. To pair a bottle to
someone else’s account you must first unpair it from your
own.
Do not put any other liquids besides water in your bottle as
that may damage the sensor.
You can put ice in the bottle but do not put the bottle in the
freezer, as that may damage the sensor.
