FAQs
Can I use this flask for plain water or sports drinks?
While it can hold liquids, the bite valve is specifically engineered for the viscosity of Gel Mix 480, so flow may feel different with thin liquids like water.
How much carbohydrate can I carry in this flask?
This flask is designed to carry up to 120g of carbohydrates when used with Gel Mix 480.
Is the flask dishwasher safe?
Hand washing is recommended to ensure the bite valve and internal crevices are properly cleared of concentrated gel.
Does the material contain BPA?
The flask is made from food-product approved materials and is BPA-free.
How do I ensure the SpeedFill cap is sealed properly?
Press the cap firmly into the flask neck and ensure the threads are aligned before twisting to ensure a leak-proof seal.
Can I use this for other gel brands?
It is optimized for Maurten Gel Mix 480, but can physically hold other gels if they have a similar viscosity.
Troubleshooting
Bite valve is clogged or flow is restricted
Remove the bite valve and rinse under warm, running water to clear residual gel from the internal mechanism.
Cap is difficult to open during a race
Ensure the threads of the SpeedFill cap are clean and free of dried gel residue before closing the flask.
Flask retains a sticky feeling after washing
Soak the flask in a solution of warm water and mild dish soap for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first workout, ensure the flask is thoroughly rinsed with warm water. Because the Gel Mix 480 is highly concentrated, it is vital to disassemble the bite valve and rinse the cap assembly after every use to prevent sugar crystallization or bacterial growth. Store the flask in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. The flask is fully compatible with all standard running vests and waist belts that feature soft-flask specific storage pockets.
