Why FloWater + IceShaker Is the Hydration Upgrade You Need

You train hard. You fuel smart. But if you’re still chugging tap water or sipping from plastic bottles, you’re not getting the most out of your recovery—and probably constantly running to the bathroom. Let’s fix that.

Not All Water Works the Same

Sure, tap water is technically “safe.” But in Grand Prairie, it often contains contaminants like chloroform, chromium-6, and haloacetic acids—some at levels far exceeding health guidelines.

And even if you’re pounding water all day, if it’s missing key electrolytes and minerals, your body can’t absorb it efficiently. That’s why you might feel like you’re constantly running to the bathroom without experiencing true hydration and all that comes with it.

Enter FloWater: Clean, Crisp, and Functional

FloWater isn’t just filtered—it’s transformed. Through a 7-step purification process, it removes up to 99% of impurities, including heavy metals and microplastics.

But it doesn’t stop there. FloWater adds back essential electrolytes and trace minerals, ensuring your body actually absorbs the hydration. This means better performance, quicker recovery, and fewer unnecessary trips to the restroom.

It’s clean, crisp, smooth, and free of the weird aftertaste you get from plastic bottles or tap. Even the bougiest water snobs (the Charge leadership team 😅)  in the building admit it’s the best-tasting water they’ve had. Our members are obsessed—and once you fill up your bottle, you’ll get it.

The Plastic Problem: More Than Just Waste

Single-use plastic bottles aren’t just bad for the environment—they’re bad for you. When exposed to heat—like in a car or gym bag, or in a warehouse or the back of a transport truck—they can leach harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates into your water.

These chemicals have been linked to hormone imbalances, reproductive issues, and even cancer.

IceShaker: The Perfect Hydration Companion

Pair your FloWater with an IceShaker bottle. These stainless steel, vacuum-insulated bottles keep your water cold for hours—without the risk of chemical leaching. Whether you’re grabbing a 26oz to sip on the way home, or filling a half-gallon or full gallon to stay hydrated until your next training session, IceShaker’s got your back.

Make the Switch

We’re selective with what we offer at Charge, and FloWater is the only water we recommend to our members. That’s why we provide it free—for better hydration, better performance, better recovery, and no plastic. Just clean, functional water, always available when you need it.

Ditch the junk water. Upgrade to FloWater and IceShaker. Your body—and the planet—will thank you.
