How do I wash my CamelBak Reservoir before first use?
Answer
Follow these steps:
- Fill reservoir 1/2 full with warm water and mild soap
- Shake reservoir to mix water and soap
- Elevate the reservoir so drink tube exit port is at the base and Big Bite™ Valve is below the reservoir
- Pinch bite valve, allowing solution to flow into drink tube, and through the bite valve
- After washing, rinse away cleaning solution in the reservoir and drink tube
- Drain all remaining water. The reservoir is ready to use
- If storing, air dry reservoir with Reservoir Dryer™ accessory so no moisture is trapped inside
