Camelbak Bladder leaking

[JohnMember]

Finally worked out why me water has been disapearing out of me Camelbak faster than i can drink it. There’s a pin hole in the bladder.

Can this be fixed or is it a new bladder for me ?

I told you putting scotch in your camelbak would ruin the bladder :laugh:

No more then the Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia and Escherichia coli that is floating around in our camel back bladder hoses.

Haha I use “Steradent” It’s what me mum users to clean her false teeth with.

Works a treat kill’s 99.9% bacteria also removes plaque & stains.

Drop a couple of tab’s in ya camelbak ,Give it a shake + rinse out.

Job done.

You get it from the supermarket Cheap as.

Only issue would be the embarrassment of buying the steradent lol.

Get your wife / girl friend whoever to get it when they are doing the shopping

screw in a 4 inch self tapper with some silastic around it to seal the hole. :laugh: :laugh:

Another thing to use to sterilise the bladder is to use the stuff for sterilising babies bottles. Can’t think of its name but it comes in tablet form.

[RachMember]

Use Milton to sterilise

Or I just keep the bladder empty in the freezer then it never goes mouldy.
