Cleaning and Maintenance of your CamelBak

It's really important to take care of your CamelBak to ensure you get the best and prolonged use out of it that you possibly can. Here are some useful tips on how to clean and maintain your CamelBak:

1. Fill reservoir with warm water and mild soap.
2. Clean with Reservoir Brush and Tube Brush.
3. Re-fill reservoir with 1 L of water.
4. Add 1 Cleaning Tablet
5. Shake reservoir until tablet is dissolved.
6. Let stand 5 minutes.
7. Remove water from reservoir.
8. Rinse reservoir thoroughly.
9. Re-fill for drinking or hang dry completely before storage.

By following these disinfecting guidelines you can reduce common micro-organisms and build-up over 99.99%. You can also add a tablespoon of bleach in an emergancy after step 3. However, be sure to rinse through thoroughly after.
To clean the pack itself, CamelBak advise that you soak it in a bucket or tub. You should wash it with cold water and a mild detergent then hang it dry. It is not advised to put your CamelBak pack in the washing machine. By doing so, you will void your warranty. If you absolutely have to use a washing machine however, we recommend  that you remove the reservoir and put the pack in a mesh bag (for delicate items) before putting it in your machine. This will prevent any straps from getting tangled up, stretched, or pulled off while in your machine.
