 CARE  

AND FEEDING

To get the best performance from your Platypus 
products, follow these basic guidelines: 

HYDRATION PACKS

Keeping your pack clean will help extend the life of 

your pack. Brush superficial dirt away, or rinse with 

warm water. If necessary, you can hand wash your 

pack with a sponge and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly 

to remove soap residue. 

DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR 

DRY YOUR PACK

.  Always empty and dry your pack 

before storage. 

  

RESERVOIR CARE

Always store your reservoir dry or in your freezer. Our 

reservoirs are easy to dry on plastic bag drying racks, 

readily available at most kitchen supply retailers, and 

you can easily use a dishtowel with our wide,  

Big Zip

 openings.
