Frequently asked

What is a hydration plan?

A hydration plan turns your daily water target into a practical schedule: how much to drink, when to start, when to ease off, and how many bottle refills you need.

Should I drink exactly on schedule?

No. Use the schedule as a habit scaffold. Thirst, heat, exercise, illness, food, and medical advice should still guide the final amount.

Can I add the plan to my calendar?

Yes. The tool creates a basic .ics reminder file from your schedule. Calendar apps may show floating local times depending on your device settings.
