What makes the air up® bottle different?
air up® isn’t just a water bottle. It’s a whole new way of drinking. What makes it special? You’re not tasting what’s in the water. You’re tasting what you smell. Yep, really! Using a clever bit of science called retronasal scent, air up® adds flavour through your nose instead of your tongue. The result is that you get the experience of drinking something like Cherry Kola or Peach, while you're actually just sipping pure water. No sugar and no additives. Just scent powered hydration.
🧠 So how does it work?
Every part of your bottle is designed to support that scent based flavour magic:
The pod releases natural scents as you sip
The straw has a tiny hole that allows air to flow through the pod and carry the scent into your mouth
The mouthpiece has a built-in pressure valve (that little curve or gap at the back) or a pin valve to keep the airflow smooth
That pressure valve plays an important role. It lets air escape from the bottle while you drink, so you don’t create a vacuum. It’s also what gives you those soft, fizzy bubbles when everything is working just right. 💡 Tip: Those bubbles aren’t just normal. They’re a good sign. They mean your bottle is doing its thing.
💧 It works a little differently than regular bottles
Since your air up® bottle depends on airflow and scent, it’s important to:
Always drink upright like sipping from a straw
Keep the pod on while drinking because it’s part of the system
Close the lid when carrying the bottle. The pressure valve stays open without the lid, which can cause leaks if the bottle tips over
If you use it like a regular sports bottle (tilted, pod removed, lid off) it might not work as expected. But once you get the hang of it, it makes total sense.
🧃 Which air up® bottle is right for you?
Everyone drinks a little differently, so we designed a few bottle types to match your lifestyle. The flavour experience is always the same, but the feel and features can vary:
Twist – Our original bottle. Simple, sturdy and easy to use
Twist Pro – Everything you love about the Twist, with an upgrade. The adapter and sealing ring make refilling easier. Just loosen the adapter to top up your water without unscrewing the whole bottle
Twist Pro Steel – Same design as the Twist Pro but made of double walled stainless steel to help keep your water cool. Some colours like Pitch Black and Silver have a built-in sealing ring while others include a removable one
Click – Quick and easy to open with a click lid. Designed for still water only
Tumbler – A sleek bottle for on the go with a different type of mouthpiece that slides over the straw. Easy sipping wherever you are
Whether you like minimal, sporty or premium style, there’s a bottle that fits the way you hydrate.
