Bottle made on Solidworks and rendered using Keyshot
After looking at other products it is clear that reusable water bottles all have their own sets of issues, many of these down to cleanliness and hygiene. It is difficult to clean a bottle properly due to the shape and design of most, meaning you cannot reach the bottom surfaces; making this one of the problem areas for mold to grow.
The concept for fluid is to have a water bottle where every part is replaceable and removable; the lid, the base, the bottle body, and the straw.
This opens the opportunity to have different features that can be added, taken away, or changed according to the needs and desires of the user. Different features would include a straw, ice pack, infuser, a grip, or just a basic screw-on top and bottom.
The bottle would be built as intended by the user including different colours, materials and parts, creating a unique, fun, and personal experience for anyone who buys this product.
Each lid and base will have a rubber seal to prevent leaking or contamination.
Making the top and bottom removable, and the parts replaceable, means that it becomes much easier to clean, and therefore will last longer as a product, but this also allows the user to purchase multiple options of one component to change the theme of the bottle depending on the environment they plan on using the bottle in or even to match an outfit.
Making the base fully removable, allows you to be able clean the bottom of the bottle - a part that is normally hard to reach with standard reusable bottles. Another positive of this is that if a part does get moldy it can be replaced without having to throw the whole bottle away, saving money and meaning less waste. This would always be cheaper than replacing an entire bottle.
