FAQs
How do I clean the reservoir?
Rinse with warm water and mild soap after each use. For a deeper clean, use a reservoir cleaning kit and let it dry completely before storage.
Can I use hot water in the reservoir?
Yes, the TPU material is designed to withstand a range of temperatures. However, avoid using boiling water.
How do I store the reservoir?
Ensure the reservoir is completely dry before storing it. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
What if the bite valve leaks?
Check if the twist lock is engaged. If it still leaks, inspect the bite valve for damage or debris and replace it if needed.
Can I put anything other than water in the reservoir?
It is recommended to use only water to prevent staining and damage to the reservoir. Other beverages may leave residue or affect the taste.
How do I remove the hose?

How often should I replace the reservoir?
Replace the reservoir if it shows signs of wear and tear, or if it's difficult to clean. Typically, reservoirs last for several years with proper care.
Troubleshooting
Reservoir leaking.
Check the Slide-Seal top, bite valve, and hose connections. Ensure they are properly closed and connected. Inspect for any damage and replace if necessary.
Water tastes like plastic.
Thoroughly clean the reservoir with warm water, mild soap, and a reservoir cleaning tablet. Ensure it is completely dry before storage.
Low water flow.
Check the bite valve for blockages and ensure it's properly positioned. Inspect the hose for kinks or obstructions.
