Troubleshooting

Water tastes like plastic.

Thoroughly clean the reservoir, hose, and bite valve with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Consider using a cleaning tablet.

Bite valve leaks.

Ensure the bite valve is properly seated. Check for any damage or debris and replace if necessary. The hose connection might be loose, re-secure or replace.
