Why is my bottle producing fewer or no bubbles?

Give Your Echo Flask™ a Boost!

Seeing those bubbles can be reassuring! While the number of bubbles may vary, this doesn’t affect the hydrogen content or the effectiveness of your water. Bubble visibility can change due to several factors, but rest assured, your flask is still delivering optimal hydrogen concentration.

What Can Affect Bubble Production?

• Temperature: Cold water tends to produce fewer bubbles, while warm water shows more.
• Pressure & Altitude: Changes in altitude or weather can alter the appearance of bubbles.
• Water Type: Different water compositions may affect how bubbles look, but the PPM concentration remains consistent.

Troubleshooting Bubble Production

Buildup on the electrodes can impact performance. Buildup can happen more quickly depending on the water type being used. (higher in mineral content, the faster build up can occur) Follow both steps below to ensure your flask stays in top shape:

Clean & Descale

1. Fill the bottle 1/4 full with a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and filtered water.
2. Let it soak overnight.
3. Run a 10-minute cycle using the solution inside the bottle.
4. Discard the solution and rinse thoroughly with warm filtered water.

If you’ve just received your bottle or haven’t used it in a while, the electrodes may need to be rehydrated.

Rehydrate the Generator

1. Heat 1 cup of filtered water in a microwave-safe container for about 2 minutes (be cautious—it will be hot!).
2. Pour the hot water into your Echo Flask™ and run a 10-minute cycle.
3. Once complete, discard the water, refill with fresh filtered water, and run another cycle.

These process refreshes the generator membranes and helps boost bubble production! Please follow both of these processes to get your bottle to optimal performance
