Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the bladder for use, rinse the reservoir and hose thoroughly with warm water and a mild, unscented soap before the first run. When inserting into your pack, ensure the hose is not kinked at the exit port to maintain optimal flow. Compatibility is high, as the 1.5L form factor is the industry standard for most hydration vests. For care, always empty the reservoir completely after each use. To prevent mold or mildew, hang the bladder upside down with the reservoir open to ensure maximum airflow until it is bone-dry. If you notice a buildup, a mixture of water and baking soda can be used to deep clean the interior.
