It’s definitely healthy to drink more water, but that doesn’t have to mean buying plastic bottles of fancy water that’s shipped all over the world. Not only do these little bottles have a huge carbon footprint, they’re not healthy for us and they often represent violations of someone else’s right to water. Marketers spend a lot of money to convince us that bottled water is superior to tap. That’s

Every year almost 9 million children die before their 5th birthday. That's one child every 3 seconds. Most of these deaths are caused by basic preventable causes like pneumonia, malaria, diarrhoea, or problems during childbirth.  Save The Children's EVERY ONE campaign is about getting healthcare to these children. So if you could do one thing to help save a life, what would you do? Saven The

We have been asked to design a metallic HydroPal and or a HydroPal that is made from polycarbonate so we thought it best to explain why we don’t have one...after all we are the original filtered sport bottle. You suck !....literally A metallic filter bottle works by relying entirely on how hard you can suck the water through the filter and its quite hard work.  For example, a HydroPal is used by

Choosing a metallic bottle over a plastic bottle is a personal choice.   Reusable plastic bottles (not single use throw aways) are light and easy to use but many consumers pay 2-3 times the price for metallic bottles on the principle that all plastic is blamed for our pollution woes.   This is partially true, plastic waste is an environmental disaster but consider this Plastic pollution is not

It matters not if you are travelling locally or overseas, most of us have an inherent distrust of water we are not accustomed too so we tend to buy water when we leave our home comforts. The fact is that urban tap water is highly regulated world wide...it may be high in chlorine or taste funny but, as a rule, it will be sterile...all you need to do is filter it and it will be as good as the

If you are on Twitter and Face book and want to save some serious time here is a couple of tips that will help you. First off.  Why keep posting?  Well it is the ONLY way you stay visible to the very network you are building...this applies to both Facebook and Twitter. What the %&*# do I write?  This is a tricky one, telling people you are off to feed the cat is hardly a thrilling post so you

My introduction to twitter was through general conversation with friends.  None of them had joined but all present had a solid opinion all the same...it is for twats!...BUT I am not so sure...  My second introduction was through my friend Andy, he is in the entrepreneurial market space and was qualified to have a valid take on the whole thing...so I joined. To describe Twitter  is difficult but

I have spent quite some time and energy looking at different business models for the global distribution of the  Hydropal filtered sports bottle. Our business model has been designed to eliminate the “middle man”.  This is a global trend.  You will probably already know that retailers are constantly trying to  buy direct off the manufacturer, often after they have been introduced the product by a

If you are constantly thinking of better ways of doing something then your mind will be filled with little gems on a daily basis. Choosing an idea to pursue passionately through the depths of hell to heavenly completion is another matter altogether...many ideas are thought of and then vapourised because for one reason or another it just wasn't going to work. If you have watched the Dragons Den

This is all about general advice when starting out...professional advise is a whole new ball game.You have an idea and you don't want to tell anyone for fear of it getting copied...this is healthy paranoia and it is good to keep your ideas close to your chest...the problem is that you can only trust the people you know and unfortunately this leaves you wide open to all types of advice like these.

Don't let the fear of not being first deter you...and if you are first don't let the fear of it being copied deter you either. The original Hydropal Patent was filed on Friday the 31st of May 1995...on the following Monday the 3rd of April 1995 a guy called Jack Nohren filed a Patent for the same concept but a different way of making a filtered sports bottle, in the USA...that's three days

So why would you bookmark this blog?  If you have an idea, had an idea, want an idea and need to try and learn from somebody else's mistakes then you might want to read this and even if you take away one thing that helps you then that's worth it for me and for you. The blog posts are short and sweet.So if your from another Country and you think NZ is a bunch of sheep and nice scenery but not
