Anyone who’s undertaken the task of bleaching and rinsing a traditional backpack hydration bladder knows that dehydration almost seems appealing in comparison to cleaning the system.

My bad I have the one with the cap.. I buy a used one off fleabay for the hardware and buy a new bag and hose ass'y .I have a couple Hydro bladder packs with the cap on them. The only real complaint I have is the are a royal pain in the ass to dry out when put back in storage.

I've had one of those bladders burst inside a pack before. Talk about a mess. Soaked the pack, and me. Now I carry a clean canteen and nalgene bottles.
