Building Bottles
Posted August 7, 2013
The parts and pieces are finally in. We have stainless bottles silkscreened with the H2Rover logo, custom machined stainless fittings, yards and yards of tubing, and piles of nuts, washers, o-rings and taps.
It's finally time to put it all together. For each bottle, Pete hand drills the tap hole, installs the stainless fitting, rinses and leak checks each one. Then he adds the clip, hose and spigot. Back in the box, and it's ready to ship.
Ready, that is, except for the darn carry strap. We're still waiting for those from our supplier, but they've promised we'll get them by Friday. Just barely in time for our official launch on Saturday.
