How to Handle Rust on the Bottom of Your Echo Water Bottle

Overview: If you’ve noticed some rust forming on the bottom of your Echo H2O bottle, don’t worry—this is a common issue that can be easily resolved. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand what’s causing the rust and how to remove it.

What Causes Rust on the Bottom of the Bottle?

Rust typically forms when water leaks from the oxygen port or drips down and pools at the base of the bottle. The metal around the oxygen port is particularly susceptible to rusting if exposed to moisture for extended periods.

Important Note: The drinking water inside your bottle doesn’t touch the metal around the oxygen port so that the rust won’t affect your water quality.

Why Maintenance is Important

If rust is left unchecked, it can eventually cause the oxygen port to become blocked, preventing it from expelling oxygen properly. This is why regular maintenance is crucial. Please note that issues caused by lack of maintenance, such as a rusted shut oxygen port, are not covered under our warranty.

How to Remove Rust

Removing rust is simple and can be done with common household items. Follow these steps:

1. Mix a Baking Soda Paste: Combine baking soda with a small amount of water to create a thick paste.
2. Apply the Paste: Spread the paste over the rusted areas, ensuring complete coverage.
3. Let It Sit: Allow the paste to sit on the rust for 15-30 minutes.
4. Scrub the Rust: Use a brush or sponge to scrub the rusted areas. Apply some pressure to help remove the rust.
5. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the area with clean water to remove any remaining paste and rust particles.
6. Dry Completely: Use a dry cloth or paper towels to thoroughly dry the area.

Preventing Future Rust

To prevent rust from forming again, make sure to keep the area around the oxygen port dry. If the bottle does get wet, wipe it down promptly to avoid moisture buildup.
