Care: Drying system

During regular use with drinking water, there is no 

need to drain, dry, or clean your hydration system. 

Simply refill and drink again and again without special 

care.
As long as your drinking water is not exposed to direct 

sunlight, the same water in your drinking system will 

remain fresh for days and even weeks. If you are using 

energy drinks or sweetened liquids, we recommend 

that you follow the cleaning instructions after every 

usage.

To Dry Drinking System:

1.  Turn the valve to OPEN position (this will allow air 

circulation through the tube). 

Open reservoir by sliding Widepac™-Closure off 

sideways and unfold the top. (drawing 9)

2.  Drain reservoir completely and hang it upside down. 

(drawing 10)

3.  To speed drying time: fold the tube and tuck it into 

the reservoir. (drawing 11) 

You may also use paper towels to dry reservoir. 

4.  When dry, fold top and close reservoir’s wide 

opening and slide back Widepac™ Closure. 

5. 

Storing Drinking System:

6.  Dry drinking system as described above.
7.  Store in a clean and dry place.
