water fungus
*Contigo's marine fungi growing system
It will get you sick!
Care and use guide never tells you how to take apart and clean the auto-seal button mechanism.
What happens when you are drinking, is the fluid get trapped inside the auto-seal button and ... stays there.
According to the use and care manual, you only have to rinse with warm water while pressing down the auto-seal button.
But there will be still water, unless you keep on pressing the button to dry the mechanism.
So better way is, you need to take apart the auto-seal mechanism, which is really hard to take apart and put them back.
Also, there are very very small parts and you will lose them while you are washing them.
I washed mine in a strainer and one of the small parts (small rubber o-ring) floated out the strainer before I knew it!
I found this out when I opened the Contigo to refill my water, I noticed floating pink objects...
Which was water fungus... YUK
