Lost my O-ring – it just dropped off – and now Bivo no longer sell a spare which is very disappointing

All of us at Bivo care a lot about design and performance. We want our bottles to look sleek, feel great in your hands, and perform really well.
One element of our insulated water bottles (Bivo Trio and Bivo Trio Mini) that is essential to performance, but doesn’t impact the look of the bottles, is the o-ring.

One element of our insulated water bottles (Bivo Trio and Bivo Trio Mini) that is essential to performance, but doesn’t impact the look of the bottles, is the o-ring.
On insulated bottles - the Bivo Trio and Trio Mini - the o-ring is tucked under the top of the lid, nestled in snugly above the threading. Hidden, but playing an essential role.
The o-ring, or sealing ring, is a silicone circle, responsible for sealing the bottle tight and preventing leaking.
As you twist the lid on tight, the sealing ring is compressed, squeezing out any possible escape of water from the bottle. When properly in place, the sealing ring does its job very well– we made sure of that with a rigorous design and testing process.
We designed the o-ring to be super easy to clean. (Who likes drinking mold? Definitely not us!) So, we made the venting straw, the nozzle and the o-ring all easily removable and dishwasher safe.
So here is your step-by-step guide on removing and reinstalling your o-ring for easy cleaning!

I lost my o ring for my Bivo Trio 21oz bottle. How do I get a replacement?

Hi Tammy! Thanks for taking the time to write. I’m so happy you find it easy to clean your bottles. Using the end of a chopstick to help secure the o-ring in place is a brilliant idea, thanks for sharing! Appreciate your contributions and I hope you have a great next bikepacking adventure! Stay hydrated out there. Best, Keaton

Thanks for the tutorial!
I clean my bottles every time since it is so easy.
To reinstall the o-ring, I use the end of a chopstick to push it back in place to make sure it is secure. I run it fully around at least once. So easy!
I also use q-tips to clean out the small hole that the straw attaches to – both top and bottom. Just be careful with the clear plastic piece in that area. If it does come out, it can be reinserted using a chopstick as well.
I like to wash my bottle by hand so I can make sure nothing gets lost. All pieces get air dried overnight.
If I am bikepacking, I still clean everything but reassemble right away and fill up for the next day. A half-chopstick and q-tips travel with me.
Hope these tips keep things super easy for everyone! Drink on!!
