Set a Preferred Drink
How to set your drink preferences in the Nix Solo app
Overview
Setting a Preferred Drink in the Nix Solo app allows your hydration recommendations to be tailored to your drink of choice. This is especially useful if you are sponsored by a specific brand, have only one electrolyte mix on hand, or have one that you prefer
over the rest.
How To Set a Preferred Drink:
To set your Preferred Drink within Nix Solo:
- Navigate to the Home Screen
- Tap Settings > Drinks > Set a Preferred Drink
- Select a drink from the list of pre-populated or custom options
Note: to use a new custom drink, first go to Settings > Drinks > Add a Custom Drink and save your formula before selecting it as your Preferred Drink - Adjust your preferences using the available toggles
- Tap Save Preferred Drink
How It Works:
Once a Preferred Drink is set, your hydration outputs across the app will automatically reflect that selection.
When a Preferred Drink is set: outputs default to your Preferred Drink, with the option to toggle to the Recommended results that are based on the full drink list.
When no Preferred Drink is set: outputs default to Recommended, based on what best matches your unique sweat composition from the full list of drinks and the electrolyte content of each.
You can remove your Preferred Drink at any time by navigating to Settings > Drinks > Set a Preferred Drink > Remove Preferred Drink.
