No other hydration company puts as much emphasis on keeping your reservoir clean as Camelbak. Therefore they offer the following guidelines for taking care of your purchase.

1) Fill reservoir with warm water

2) Clean with reservoir brush and delivery tube brush

3) Re-fill reservoir with 1L (1 liter) of water

4) Add one Camelbak cleaning tablet

5) Shake reservoir until tablet is dissolved

6) Let stand for 5 minutes

7) Remove water from reservoir

8) Rinse reservoir thoroughly

9) Re-fill for drinking or dry completely before storage.

By following these disinfecting guidelines you can reduce common micro-organisms and buildup over 99.99%. In an emergency, you can add a tablespoon of bleach after step 3. Be sure to rinse thoroughly however.

To clean the actual pack itself, it is reccomended you soak it in a tub or bucket. Wash with cold water and a mild detergent then hang dry. DO NOT wash the Camelbak pack in the washing machine as this will void the warranty.
