Staying hydrated is an important part of your health. The HidrateSpark Tap Smart Water Bottle connected to your iPhone<\/a> may be the best way to stay on top of that without a hefty price tag attached. <\/p>\n

\n

Many smart water bottles usually cost over $50, but the HidrateSpark Tap offers nearly the same features for a fraction of the price. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are multiple smart water bottles to choose from, but if you want one that tracks your water intake, integrates with Apple Health<\/a>, and doesn’t burn a hole in your wallet, then the HidrateSpark Tap might be the best option for you. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

HidrateSpark Tap – design<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The HidrateSpark Tap houses a traditional water bottle design that includes a straw and inhale-in drinking mechanism to take in water. The bottle is made out of plastic and holds 24 oz of water. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The lid, straw, and body are all removable and can be taken apart and put back together with ease. With a simple push of the straw into the lid, and a twist of the wrist to screw in the top into the plastic body, the water bottle is formed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The bottom part of the water bottle is where all the technology is. It houses a light sensor and NFC chip that helps you log how much water you are drinking. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Underneath the bottom are buttons that have different controls of either how often you get reminded to drink water by the LED lights incorporated into the base, picking the color the lights are, and snoozing the lights from going off. The light goes off every hour. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The NFC tag acts like any other NFC chip by that you tap your phone to it and your phone will perform the actions that it is programmed to do. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The first time you tap your phone, it will guide your device to download the Hidrate app to connect your water bottle. After that, every time you tap your phone to the tag, a notification will appear on your device. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tapping on the notification will launch the Hidrate app and your water intake will be recorded. You must tap on the notification for your water intake to be logged. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The water bottle is dishwasher safe, you just need to take it apart and place it on the top rack. Remove the bottom that houses the NFC chip and lights before putting it in the dishwater because that is the only piece that is not dishwasher safe. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The design of the bottle is simple, lightweight, and doesn’t sail too far away from a traditional water bottle. It brings technological components to a traditional design without disrupting how you would usually use an everyday water bottle. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Hidrate app<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Hidrate app is the corresponding app to the water bottle that you can download before or after setting up the HidrateSpark Tap. It is free to download, and you can either find it by name on the App Store<\/a> or by tapping your phone on the NFC tag and being led to it. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You can create an account from scratch or choose to sign in with your Apple ID. This account will allow you to house the water bottle and the amount of water you drink. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

When opening the app, you will see how far along you are to your drinking goal for the day. You can set this to a customizable goal set by you or one predetermined by the app. You can either manually enter how much water you have drank or tap your phone on the NFC chip. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When recording how much water you have drank, you will also achieve awards along the way, You can see what achievements you have received by tapping on the trophy icon on the right side of the screen above the cup icon. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

By tapping on the History tab at the bottom of the screen, you can see the history of how much water you have logged in the past. You will see your hourly goals, overviews, drink log, and a breakdown. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Bottles tab lets you add and customize the details of your water bottle by naming it, locating it via Apple Maps<\/a>, and being able to control the same functions that you would by pressing the buttons underneath the bottle. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

By tapping the water icon next to “Find Bottle”, you can change the type of beverage you are filling your bottle with. Here is what you can choose from: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
