Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, rinse the reservoir and tube with warm water and a mild soap. Ensure the bladder is fully seated in the main compartment before zipping the closure.
Compatibility: The system is designed for individual use. If you require replacement parts, the Chill-Its 5050B bladder and 5050M mouthpiece are compatible with this model.
Care: To maintain hygiene, avoid leaving stagnant water in the system. Use the Chill-Its 5159 Hydration Pack Cleaning Kit to reach inside the bladder and tube, preventing buildup. Hang the pack by the top handle to air dry completely with the cap removed after every use.
