FAQs
How do I clean the HydraPak Velocity 1.5L?
Rinse with warm water after each use. For a deeper clean, use a soft brush and mild dish soap, then rinse thoroughly. Allow to air dry completely with the top open.
Can I put hot liquids in the reservoir?
No, the maximum working temperature is 60° C (140° F). Do not use with hot liquids.
Can the reservoir be frozen?
Yes, but only when partially filled to allow for expansion. Avoid freezing completely full.
What does 'BPA & PVC free' mean for me?
It means the materials used are free from potentially harmful chemicals, ensuring your water tastes pure and is safe to drink.
How do I ensure the Slide-Seal™ top is completely leakproof?
Make sure the slider is pushed all the way across the opening and that there is no debris preventing a full seal.
What is the benefit of the Plug-N-Play™ system?
It allows you to disconnect the drink tube easily for refilling or cleaning without spilling water, thanks to the auto-shutoff valve.
How much water does the 1.5L capacity hold?
The 1.5L (or 50 fl oz) capacity is suitable for moderate-duration activities. You can track intake using the external capacity gauge.
Troubleshooting
Reservoir leaks from the Slide-Seal™ top
Ensure the Slide-Seal™ top is fully closed and the slider is completely engaged. Check for any debris obstructing the seal and wipe clean. Ensure the reservoir is not overfilled.
Water flow is weak or stops
Check that the Blaster™ bite valve is in the open position (twist the on/off bar). Ensure the drink tube is not kinked. Check for any blockages in the bite valve or tube.
Difficulty disconnecting the drink tube
Ensure the auto-shutoff valve on the Plug-N-Play™ connector is not obstructed. Press the release tabs firmly while pulling the tube connector away.
Taste of plastic in the water
Rinse the reservoir thoroughly with warm water and a mild soap before first use. If the taste persists, try filling it with a baking soda and water solution (1 tablespoon baking soda per liter) and letting it sit overnight, then rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the reservoir is rinsed before first use. Connect the drink tube to the Plug-N-Play™ port until it clicks. Open the Slide-Seal™ top by sliding the closure mechanism to the side. Fill the reservoir with your desired liquid, ensuring not to overfill past the maximum line indicated on the external gauge. Close the Slide-Seal™ top securely by sliding the closure back into place. Place the reservoir in your hydration pack, routing the drink tube through the shoulder strap.
Compatibility: The Velocity 1.5L is designed to fit most hydration vests and packs. The Plug-N-Play™ system is proprietary to HydraPak, allowing for easy tube removal.
Care: After each use, rinse the reservoir and drink tube with warm water. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a reservoir brush. Allow to air dry completely with the Slide-Seal™ top open before storing. Avoid freezing the reservoir if it is full, as expanding ice can damage the material. The maximum working temperature is 60° C (140° F).
