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.
