air up® works differently from a regular water bottle — it's a complete scent-enhanced hydration system. Here's how to know your Scentaste™ technology is doing its thing:

😋 You can taste the flavour If your water tastes like Cherry Kola, Peach, or whatever pod you've got on — that's retronasal olfaction at work. Your nose is picking up the natural scent from the Flavour Pod, and your brain is registering it as flavour. Meanwhile, you're drinking just water. 0% sugar. 0% artificials. Just water, flavoured by scent. ✅

🫧 You hear or feel gentle bubbles That subtle bubbling sound? That's your sign that everything is working perfectly. Those tiny air bubbles are the engine of scent-based flavouring — carrying the natural aroma from the pod to your nose with every sip. No bubbles = no scent = no flavour. If you're not getting bubbles, check your pod and mouthpiece setup.

🟢 Your pod is properly activated Depending on your bottle type, activation works slightly differently:

• PullUp Mouthpiece: Pull the pod up until you see a gap — that means it's active and ready to flavour. Push it back down for plain water.

• ActiveOn Mouthpiece: Activates automatically when you open the lid. Pull it up slightly to deactivate.

Always double-check your pod position — if it's not activated, Scentaste™ can't work its magic.

🔁 Your pod still has life in it Each Flavour Pod delivers scent-based flavouring for at least 5 liters of water — roughly 8 refills of a 600ml bottle. Not sure if yours is still good? Give it a sniff. Strong scent = still going. No scent = time for a fresh pod and a new flavour adventure.

💧 The air up® promise in action When everything clicks — flavour, bubbles, activated pod — you've unlocked the full scent-enhanced hydration experience. And the best part? Every sip is still just pure water, making it easier and more enjoyable to drink more water every day.
