MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE RESERVOIRThe best way to care for the hydration pack’s reservoir is to clean it with soap and water and dry it thoroughly after every use, especially if filled with anything other than water. If the reservoir has gotten especially moldy:

1. Use hot water and two tablespoons of baking soda or bleach. Mix the solution inside the reservoir and hold it up above your head while pinching the bite valve, allowing the bleached water to run through the tube.
2. Let the reservoir and cleaning solution sit for approximately 30 minutes.
3. Wash out the reservoir with hot water and mild soap. Be sure to completely rinse away any bleach or cleaning solution before using it again. Use brushes to scrub reservoir and tube. Brushes are the best way to ensure all areas of the reservoir are cleaned.
4. Once the reservoir is clean, be sure to air dry it so that no moisture is trapped inside, as this can cause mold to grow.

CLEANING THE BACKPACKIf the pack portion gets dusty, wipe it down with a damp cloth. If it becomes filthy and needs a deeper cleaning:

1. Soak it in warm water with some mild soap.
2. Rinse it thoroughly with cool water. NOTE: Do not skip this step. If skipped, the wearer may create suds the next time they sweat with the pack on.
3. Hang it up to air dry. NOTE: Do not put a hydration pack in the washing machine. Machine-washing packs can twist or tear the straps and fixtures and wear away the fabric’s waterproof coating. This voids manufacturer’s warranty.
