RobGD Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Haven't tried it yet but I read in one of the mag's that toothpaste does the trick. I guess you just stick a bit in there, add water shake it up a bit and rinse a few times. Sounds healthier than chlorine, jik and piss.
Paddaman Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Hmmm... Fill your camelbak with whisky. No more water, ergo, no more plastic tasting water.Alcohol has a disinfectant property. You can use whiskey, vodka, rum, Cognac, brandy, grappa, anything with a solid content (40% plus) and it does add flavour the water later.

CAAD4 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 does cold urine leave less of a taste As long as the ice cubes are pure...
sawystertrance Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 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.I use plastic practice golf balls to do the same thing. Then when finished, I drain the bladder and position the balls to hold the walls apart. Works perfectly and no fungus/taste. In fact, if you wanted to, you could leave them in permanently even when full.
Overlord Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Are you guys a bunch of nancy's or what? We were trained to get on with it and get the job done. The urine in the plastic bottle actually got rid of the plastic taste. Just rinse the bloody thing before you fill it with water to drink.
Rocket-Boy Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Keep your bladders in the deep freeze to avoid funk growing. ^this is the single best piece of advice anyone who uses a hydration system can get.

lechatnoir Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 fill with water, add a table spoon of milton and leave overnight. make sure the tube's filled as well. this will get rid of the gunk growing. then rinse nicely, and repeat, but use a tablespoon of baking soda instead. leave overnight and rinse. voila. that's what i've done, and it seems to be OK
henk Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Once you have cleaned the bladder - fill with water and a teaspoon of vanilla essence. Leave for an hour or so, Rinse and the plastic taste should be gone. Works like a charm in new bottles.
Beesrib Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 you can also chuck in a bit of mouth wash for a fresh taste. leave it in for a while and rinse.
VicanZA Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I've got piss to spare, u guys can bring those bladders...
Davey_Jones Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I use a no rinse sterilizer that you use in beer making. But I do rinse it after leaving it in the bladder for about 20 min. I get mine a brewcraft in jet park
