German hydration brand Air Up has launched Pro 3, a redesigned steel water bottle featuring improvements to functionality, cleaning and drinking experience, alongside compatibility with sparkling water.

The new 710ml double-walled steel bottle builds on the company's existing Taste by Scent technology, which uses scented pods to create the perception of flavour while consumers drink plain water, without added sugar or artificial flavourings.

Developed in response to customer feedback, Pro 3 introduces a leak-proof design that works with or without a flavour pod attached, as well as simplified assembly and dishwasher-safe components for easier cleaning.

The company has also redesigned the drinking mechanism to reduce airflow and noise, providing a smoother drinking experience compared with previous models.

Alongside the functional upgrades, Air Up has introduced a more streamlined design, positioning the bottle as both a hydration product and an everyday accessory.

Pro 3 is available in four colours – Choco Rose, Moss Mint, Desert Sand and Pink Grenadine – alongside the launch of a new Ice Tea Blackberry flavour pod. The bottle is priced at €34.99.

Cristina Kenz, CEO of Air Up, said: “We exist to help people drink and enjoy more water, and Pro 3 is really about making that easier to do every single day. Better usability, flavor experience and design.”

“We know people understand that water is the healthier choice, but understanding something and turning it into a habit are two different things, particularly when plain water can simply get boring.”
