As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can certainly understand the desire to add slices of lemon to enhance the flavor of your water. The citrusy tang and refreshing aroma can really elevate the drinking experience. However, when it comes to using a DYLN Bottle, it's important to note that it is specifically designed to be used with filtered or purified water.
Adding lemon to your DYLN Bottle can introduce citric acid into the water, which may affect the pH balance and potentially impact the performance of the bottle. The DYLN Bottle features a VitaBead Diffuser that alkalizes the water by increasing its pH level. While lemon itself is acidic, it does have alkalizing effects on the body once ingested. However, using lemon directly in the DYLN Bottle may not yield the same results as the VitaBead Diffuser is not designed to interact with citrus fruits.
If you still wish to add lemon to your water, I would recommend exercising caution and cleaning your DYLN Bottle more frequently. The citric acid from the lemon can leave residue and potentially affect the taste of future drinks if not properly cleaned. Regularly rinsing the bottle with warm water and mild soap, or using a bottle brush, can help ensure that any lemon remnants are thoroughly removed.
Alternatively, if you prefer the flavor of lemon in your water, you could consider using a separate container or infuser bottle specifically designed for fruit infusion. This way, you can still enjoy the taste of lemon while preserving the intended function and performance of your DYLN Bottle.
While it is possible to add lemon to your DYLN Bottle, it is important to keep in mind that it is primarily designed for use with filtered or purified water. If you choose to add lemon, be mindful of the potential impact on the bottle's pH balance and clean it more frequently to maintain optimal performance.
