HOW DO I CLEAN MY BLADDER?
The following information is recommended by the manufacturer (Hydrapak). Read the full support thread here.
ELITE
Reverse by placing your hand in the bladder, grab the bottom, and pull it back through the top opening, just like turning a sock inside-out. The molded opening can also be flipped after the bladder body has been reversed. Then, throw it in the dishwasher or rinse with mild soap and water. Make sure to let the bladder dry out completely while reversed.
SHAPE-SHIFT
The Shape-Shift features a removable baffle which locks for a slim profile and increased stabilization. When unlocked it reverses for easy cleaning - place it on the top-shelf of your dishwasher or rinse with mild soap and water. Make sure to let the bladder dry out completely while reversed.
FIXED (ALSO KNOWN AS SHAPE-LOC CONNECTION)
Many of our packs use a fixed baffle bladder called the Fixed ( Also known as Shape-Loc). It can only be reversed up until the baffle is exposed but is still simple to clean. We recommend either using a bottle brush or Bottle Bright.
Method One - Fill your bladder with warm water and use a bottle brush along with mild soap to scrub it clean. Rinse well and hang it upside down to dry.
Method Two - Fill your bladder with warm water and drop in one or two Bottle Bright tablets, slide the top close and let sit for fifteen to thirty minutes (depending on the amount of residue). Rinse and hang upside down to dry.
HOW DO I CLEAN MY TUBE & BITE VALVE?
The following information is recommended by the manufacturer (Hydrapak). Read the full support thread here.
All of our components are removable for easy cleaning:
- Disconnect the drink tube from the bladder.
- Grasp the bite valve in one hand and tube in the other then pull the valve firmly to remove the bite valve from the tube.
- Gently remove the silicone sheath from the valve and clean with Bottle Bright or mild soap and water.
- Clean the inside of the tube by inserting the Hydrapak Tube Brush in the open end of the tube and scrub.
- After drying the components, carefully reattach the sheath to the valve and re-install.
MY BLADDER HAS A WEIRD TASTE?
Some users may initially notice a plastic-like taste when using any of our products made with TPU. This taste typically subsides over time and can be eliminated by simply squeezing juice from a lemon into the product, filling it with water, and then freezing it. After frozen, remove, thaw, and rinse.
