Hydrant 1 Litre Drinking System

The Hydrant 1 Litre Drinking System is an award-winning water bottle that assists in the prevention of dehydration, which is a big problem faced in health care. Where people are bed bound or have limited mobility, the risk of dehydration is increased, however the Hydrant eliminates this issue, as it provides an easy access water bottle with a drinking tube to assist the user.

Eliminating Dehydration Problems

Dehydration can cause a whole host of problems in itself, such as constipation, urinary tract infections, dizziness, bed sores and blood pressure problems. Patients who are bed bound or have to remain sedentary for long periods of time are in danger of becoming dehydrated, as they are dependent on someone else to help them access fluids.

The Hydrant eliminates this problem, with its ability to hook, clip or hang onto beds, wheelchairs, chairs, belts, and with its long drinking tube to assist the user.

How to Use the Drinking System

With its integrated cap and hanging bracket, the Hydrant Drinking System has a drinking tube with a bite valve and a small clip to attach the tube to clothing if required.

When the bottle is hung from a bed, chair, or wheelchair, the user simply takes hold of the tube, inserts the bite valve between their lips, then bites and sucks it to access the fluid. This ensures there are no leaks, spills or drips.

If hung above head height, the tube works as a siphon, helping those with limited sucking ability, as fluid gently flows when the valve is activated. 

Suitable for a Range of Patients

It has an ergonomic handle and indentations for easy holding, particularly for users with weak grip strength, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and other similar medical conditions. It also has gradations on the side so that caregivers can monitor fluid intake and be aware of when to top up the bottle.
