Charge Your HydroGuard

Place the HydroGuard bottle on the Qi wireless charging base. The LED ring will pulse amber during charging and turn solid green when fully charged. A full charge lasts 6+ months of typical use.

Instructions

1

Remove the HydroGuard from its packaging and peel the protective film from the lid sensor area

2

Place the bottle upright on the included Qi wireless charging base — the magnetic alignment will snap it into position

3

The LED ring on the lid will pulse amber slowly (1 pulse per 2 seconds) indicating charging

4

When fully charged, the LED ring turns solid green for 5 seconds, then dims

5

First charge takes approximately 2 hours. Subsequent charges are faster (~90 minutes)

Pro Tips

  • The charging base works with any Qi-compatible charger (5W minimum)
  • You can charge while the bottle is empty or full — the electronics are sealed in the lid
  • The LED ring will flash red 3 times when battery drops below 10%
