If the bamboo part of your AlkaFlow pitcher or dispenser lid has come loose from the inner stainless steel piece, it’s easy to glue it back on.
Recommended glue
Use a 2-part epoxy adhesive designed for bonding wood and metal.
Once fully cured, this type of glue is generally considered safe for indirect food contact (such as a lid), because it becomes inert after complete curing. In addition, in the case of the AlkaFlow pitcher or dispenser, the cured glue will never come into contact with the filtered water.
It’s important to follow the drying/curing time indicated by the manufacturer before using it.
