Over time, bite valves and sheaths can wear out, affect water flow, or trap odours. Replacing them helps maintain clean-tasting water, smooth drinking flow, and better hygiene—especially important for long festivals, raves, and outdoor adventures.

We recommend cleaning your hydration bladder after every use. For best results, use the bladder for water only. After cleaning, be sure to fully empty all remaining water and allow the bladder, hose, and bite valve to air dry for at least 24 hours before storing. Proper cleaning and drying help prevent odors, buildup, and bacteria. Keeping your hydration fresh and safe every time.

We recommend using a hydration bladder cleaning kit after every few uses. Our kits include brushes and drying tools that help remove residue, prevent mold, and extend the life of your hydration reservoir. Proper cleaning keeps your water fresh and safe to drink.

With regular cleaning and proper care, a hydration reservoir can last multiple seasons. However, if you notice leaks, persistent odours, or reduced water flow, it’s a good time to upgrade or replace your reservoir.
