Throw it away, and get another brand of hydration pack. CamelBak supports the greenies who don't want to let us use our trails.

Every little bit helps our cause. :D

Dude that was SO LAST WEEK :flipoff2: they pulled the SC adds and how they have adds in CycleNews...

I use a little bit of bleach and alot of hot water and then use some lemon when I'm rinsing it out .
There is a plastic thingie that you should buy that you stick inside of it to hold it open so it dries out better.... and there is also a long pipe cleaner that you can use to clean the tube.

Kyron..got any info or links to show they pulled the adds? I hadn't heard that yet...Thanks


I've also heard that after you clean your resivoir out you should put a couple teaspoons of H2O in it and keep it in the freezer...any thoughts....

My buddy keeps his in the freezer and has been fine for the last 4 years. I dont have any room in the freezer to put the thing in there. Oh yeah its not a camelpack its a bushwacker I think. Thanks for the help guys.

I read somewhere online a letter from the presdient (?) of camelbak explaining how it was their ad agency who was putting the ads into the SC's mag and how I think they got rid of that agency(?)..... I do read their mag at work and the adds have been gone for a long time...

They now support the BRC and have adds in that mag


I thought YOU would know more about this than me :confused:

That's a compliment! I'm usually more than a week behind! :flipoff2:

Good to hear that they have made efforts to be more proactive with their ad campaign.

When I'm not using my camel back, or other bladder system, I just thought it in a Tupperware container, and throw it in the freezer.

No more mold for me! Works like a charm.

clean it w/ a teaspoon of bleach and plenty of water....then many many times you much wach it w/ salt water. Salt water also kills the rubber taste :D wash it w/ salt water before and after each use too.

That a lot of work:rolleyes:
If you just let it dry out it will not mold. bend a hanger so it fits inside the bladder so it gets air inside to dry.
I've used the same bladder for almost 3 years...
