Malpiet Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 You get tablets to clean it, cape union mart sell them.
DJR Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Did some "work" for a company in Africa and we used to urinate in the plastic bottles we received. Leave in the sun a bit filled with urine. Rinse and voila no more plastic taste. LOL! Sorry to have to be the one to break it to you, but your mates just took the piss out of you by getting you to do that! Did you check their bottles? No, you didn't! You would have found their ones tasting like weak tea!
VicanZA Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I need some feedback on the urine thing, let me know if it works..
Skylark Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 You get tablets to clean it, cape union mart sell them.Apparently those are just about identical to denture cleaning tablets just 4 times the price.
cadenceblur Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Keep your bladders in the deep freeze to avoid funk growing. this works, also keeps your water nice and cold, just don't fill it
TheV Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I usually just add a couple table spoons of salt, then fill up with piping hot water, leave it closed for a couple min and then empty it via the mouthpiece... Rinse a couple times, then it's perfect.
EmptyB Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I tried a wee bit of urine but the taste pissed me off.....
popcorn_skollie Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 the plastic taste never bothered me. but i grow mint here at home and throw a couple leaves in now an then when i feel like it. or when i ride business class

Rinse and voila no more plastic taste.You move liquid from one bladder to another and expect it not to taste like bladder?
Grebel Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I enquired about the tabs after I inadvertently started a small science experiment in mine.... I was advised by a Camelbak dealer to just use Milton. Been using it ever since. Mix as advised. I use a litre. Squeeze out all the air via the mouth piece and leave it overnight. No more funky tastes or smells. Keep the bladder in the fridge in a Ziplock bag when not in use. Never had another experiment. My bladder is almost 8 years old.
(Deon) Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Miltons is a winner! Some also use a bent/shaped clothes hanger to keep the bladder open (with lid off) when not in use. Helps with limited fridge space and the wife also oddly calmed down when I tried this tip.
JXV Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Miltons is just Jik by another name....same active ingredient - chlorine
MarcBurger Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Milton highly diluted (as per instructions on bottle) Use it for everythingJik that you can drink...    Please don't drink it. Just making a point
Wayne Potgieter Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Hmmm... Fill your camelbak with whisky. No more water, ergo, no more plastic tasting water.
marko35s Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Hmmm... Fill your camelbak with whisky. No more water, ergo, no more plastic tasting water.No more pain when you fallNo worrying about, well, anything The upside is massive.
