FAQs
Is the Vango Hydrant Pack Bladder dishwasher safe?
It is not recommended. Hand washing with warm water and mild soap is the safest way to maintain the integrity of the materials.
Can I put sports drinks in this bladder?
While it is possible, it is highly recommended to stick to water only, as sugary drinks can leave sticky residue that is difficult to clean from the tube.
Does this bladder include a bite valve cover?
The bladder comes with a standard bite valve, but please check your specific packaging for included accessories.
How do I ensure the bladder is fully dry?
Prop the opening open with a clean utensil or specialized bladder drying hanger to ensure air circulation reaches the bottom.
Is the material compatible with freezing?
You can place the bladder in the freezer, but ensure it is only 3/4 full to allow for water expansion, and avoid freezing the tube.
Troubleshooting
Water flow is slow or blocked
Check the tube for kinks or bends and ensure the bite valve is not clogged with debris.
Leakage at the seal
Ensure the sealable closure is properly aligned and clicked into the locked position before putting it back in your pack.
Plastic taste in water
Rinse the reservoir with a mixture of water and a small amount of baking soda or lemon juice, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the bladder, ensure the bite valve is securely attached to the hydration tube before filling. When filling, do not overfill past the maximum capacity line to ensure the seal can lock properly. For compatibility, the bladder is designed to fit most hydration-compatible daypacks and trekking rucksacks. To maintain the unit, rinse the bladder thoroughly with warm water and a mild soap after every use. It is recommended to hang the bladder upside down to dry completely to prevent moisture buildup inside the reservoir or tube.
