Wash & Care:

To clean pack or vest

• Hand wash cold
• Use mild detergent (try our PowerWash)
• Line dry
• Do not use bleach
• Do not use fabric softener
• Do not iron or dry clean

To clean bladder

• Remove the top slider and empty remaining liquid
• Separate bladder and hose
• Wash bladder with warm water and soap
• Run warm soapy water through the hose
• Rinse both until soapy residue is gone
• Dry with top open
• Pro Tip: Use balled up paper towels in your bladder to help it dry

Other Cleaning Tips:

• Stains: Bladder staining is generally caused by food coloring used in liquids. This staining does not affect the functionality of the bladder, yet can be difficult to remove. We recommend using a chlorine free, non-toxic, and biodegradable tablet to combat stains and odors.
• Plastic Taste: Occasionally users may notice a plastic taste. To reduce, squeeze lemon juice into the reservoir, fill with water, and place in the freezer. After frozen, remove, thaw, and rinse.
• Lubrication: Some users may need to occasionally lubricate the rubber O-ring on their connector to ensure a smooth connection and for leak prevention. If necessary, apply glycerin, silicone, or pure beeswax as lubricants. Avoid olive oil, coconut oil, cooking oils, etc. These types of oils cause the seal to swell and make it difficult for the system to be disengaged.
