FAQs

Where is the best place to keep my Perfect Prep?
The Perfect Prep should be kept in a cool, dry location, avoiding direct sunlight and kept away from warm appliances. This is recommended to avoid the tank temperature getting too warm.
What does the hotshot do?
The hotshot helps to dissolve the formula powder quickly and easily, it also kills bacteria that may be present in the formula itself. The water dispensed in the hot shot is at a temperature of over 70°C.
How often do I need to change the filter?
On average the filter should last around 3 months, however, this depends on the frequency of use and what size bottles you are preparing.
Why do I have to use a Tommee Tippee filter?
Most standard water filters do not include an anti-bacterial filtration membrane, so even if they fit in your machine, they will NOT remove the same level of bacteria.
Why do I need to submerge the filter before first use?
Submerging primes the filter before use, ensuring that any air bubbles or loose particles within the filter are removed prior to use.
How long can I leave unused water in the tank?
Water is a foodstuff. We recommend using it within 1-2 days.
