Introducción

Ir al paso 1 ↓

Use this guide to replace a worn or faulty gasket in your water bottle.

The gasket (also called an O-ring) is a ring-shaped piece of silicone that sits inside the lid and helps seal the connection between the lid and the bottle, filling in tiny gaps where water or air could escape. Over time, gaskets can wear down, become loose, or crack—causing the bottle to leak from the lid.

This guide features a Starbucks Twisted Thermal Bottle with a 3-inch diameter gasket, but the same steps can be applied to any leaking water bottle with a similar gasket design.
