Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much water daily?
A: Average adults need about 2-3 liters, but it varies by activity level.
Q: Is tap water okay?
A: Yes, as long as it's safe in your region. Hydration is what counts.
Q: Do coffee and tea count?
A: They contribute to fluid intake, but plain water should still be your baseline because it hydrates without extra sugar or caffeine.
Q: What is the best reminder interval?
A: For most people, reminders every 60 to 90 minutes work better than aggressive notifications every 20 minutes.
Q: Can a water reminder app help me build a real habit?
