Hydration pack clean

[swsup97]

 

Hiya,

 

Those of you who use hydration packs, i wanna know what do you use to clean it after use?

Miltons.

[Johan Bornman]

Miltons is just hydrochloric bleach and you may as well go for the cheapest Checkers private label bleach then. This is a good steriliser but poor cleaner.

 

I used to have to buy expensive pills for my automatic coffee machine but then a picture of someone's dentures in a glass told me to experiment with Steradent. It's an effervescent cleaner and does a better and cheaper job of cleaning my coffee machine than the expensive tablets.

 

As a great side-effect, it gives a great minty taste to the first cup thereafter....not.

Would you recommend Gooi-ing your Camelbak in the washing machine on a gentle / cold wash? My other half complains about a horrible smell when riding behind me....and the Camelbak ALSO has some hectic odours!

Bleach. And the Camelback cleaning brush which you can stick all the way down the tube.

 

For the outside I just hose it down.

 

[Johan Bornman]

Ja, they can stink. During the Epic I wouldn't let mine sleep in the tent.  It had a life all of its own and used to wander around the camping ground posing as a ressurected goul from the grave.

 

Gooi it in the washing machine, hose it down, shoot it, whatever.

I don't clean it - I leave what ever is in it for about 2 months, and the I just have to open the lid, and the "creature" walks out on its own. I still have some left over TransBaviaans gunk in my camelbak - should almost be ready to release into the wild.
