OWNER’S MANUAL

PLATYPUS CARE

HYDRATION PACK CARE 

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

 

•  Keeping your pack clean will help extend the life of your pack. 

•  Brush off superficial dirt, 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 and hang dry.  

 

DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR TUMBLE DRY YOUR PACK. 

•  Always empty and dry your pack before storage. 

RESERVOIR CARE 

To get the best performance from your Big Zip

 EVO,  

follow these basic guidelines:

•  Rinse out your reservoir with warm water after each use. 

•  Always store your reservoir dry.

 •  Reservoirs are easy to dry on plastic drying racks, readily available  
 

at most kitchen supply retailers. Dry your reservoir zipper end up for  

 

maximum moisture evaporation. You can also dry with a clean dish  

 

towel due to the wide opening. 

•  Storing the reservoir in the freezer is also an option. If freezing with  
 

water inside, be aware water expands when it freezes and could  

 

damage your reservoir if overly full. Never store with water in your 

 

drink tube or shut-off valve. 

•  Never pour water that is hot to the touch into your reservoir as it  
 

can damage the lining.
