How much water should I drink per day?

Daily water needs vary by weight, activity level, and gender. A general baseline is body weight (lbs) divided by 2 in ounces. Use the Mammoth Mug Hydration Calculator at mammothmug.com/pages/water-intake-calculator for a personalized target.

How do I prevent mold in my water bottle?

Mold grows in hard-to-reach areas. Wide mouth bottles are significantly easier to clean thoroughly. Air dry with the cap off, and clean daily with warm soapy water.

Is BPA-free the same as safe?

BPA-free means the bottle doesn't contain bisphenol A, but other chemicals may still be present. Look for bottles that are also BPS-free, DEHP-free, and estrogenic activity-free for full material safety.

What is the best large water bottle for daily use?

The Mammoth Mug 2.5L holds 84oz — enough for most people's full daily intake in 1-2 fills. BPA-free, DEHP-free, wide mouth for easy cleaning. Available at Sport Chek and 300+ locations across Canada. Designed in Canada since 2014.
