Moment of cleaning stupidity, hydra pack now has hole melted in it 🙄

I tried to tighten my spokes with an axe, load of them broke.

Sterilised my camelbak loads of times with boiling water and never had that

Years ago my camelbak leaked due to boiling water. Freezer for the win.

Always cleaned every Camelbak I’ve owned with boiling water, never had that.

Yep boiling water here too but now resorted to the freezer as its easiest plus I’ve now always got hot water for coffee!

Freezer?

Never done anything to mine other than chuck it in freezer. Perfectly clean even after over 3 years of constant use

Edit: although I only ever use water, never energy drinks, squash etc

Milton?

Boots sell a huge pack of own brand baby sterilising tablets for peanuts. I also destroyed an osprey bladder with boiling water – not happy!!

You clean camelbacks? 😯

I dont bother with the new camelbak (well the last few years new) resevoirs. Quick rinse out if it’s had anything sugary in it but that’s all.

Half a Milton tablet works for me.
