HYDRATION
All our hydration systems are based on a unique film technology, specially developed for our systems, called Glass Like™. It implements liner technology that prevents bio-film build up, making it a self cleaning system.
Surface analysis through AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) shows that our film is 1000% smoother than that of our competitor's films, with only 50% difference from glass itself. Combined with our Grunge Guard™ technology, the system is Easy Care & Low Maintenance.
The same water will remain fresh for days and even weeks.
We do recommend cleaning the tube from time to time. It's more exposed to UV radiation and sugar residue can accumulate when using energy drinks.
We highly recommend using our Tube Brush Kit, spatially developed for this purpose, which can be found here: http://sourceoutdoor.com/18-tube-brush-kit.html
Please follow these instructions:
- Open reservoir by sliding Widepac™ Closure off sideways and unfolding top. (drawing 1)
- Press lightly on the sides of the reservoir’s wide opening and fill the reservoir. (drawing 2)
- The reservoir is designed to store cold as well as warm drinks (up to 60ºC/140ºF). You can add ice for cold drinks, or even freeze water in the reservoir overnight (only 3/4 fill).
- Fold top and close reservoir’s wide opening by sliding back Widepac™ Closure. (drawing 3)
Caution: Do not fill with boiling water.
Notes: Only one end of the Widepac™ Closure is open, but you can slide it onto the reservoir top from left or right.
During regular use with drinking water there is no need to drain, dry, or clean your hydration system. Simply refill and drink again and again without special care. As long as your drinking water is not exposed to direct
sunlight, the same water in your drinking system will remain fresh for days and even weeks. If you are using energy drinks or sweetened liquids we recommend that you follow the cleaning instructions after every usage.

To Dry Drinking System:
- Open the reservoir by sliding Widepac™-Closure off sideways and unfold the top.
- Drain reservoir completely and hang it upside down. Insert closure in between the handle holes so it’ll stay open. To speed drying time remove tube and insert it into the reservoir (see picture). You may also use paper towels to dry reservoir.
- When dry, fold top and close reservoir’s wide opening and slide back Widepac™ Closure.
Storing Drinking System:
Dry drinking system as described above. Store in a clean and dry place.
Tip: After prolonged storage, rinse reservoir with water and a few drops of lemon juice.
for mor information please read "Where can I find the Care and Use instructions for all the reservoirs?"
It is recommended to wash the reservoir if it was filled with liquids other than water (such as sweetened beverages) or before prolonged storing.
To clean the reservoir:
- Disconnect the tube: push the release button of the SQC™ connector.
- Slide off Widepac™ closure for wide opening access.
- Wash reservoir with soapy water or a natural sterilizer, such as lemon juice (chemical materials can damage the film and are NOT recommended). If necessary scrub with a soft brush. Rinse well.
- Dry reservoir completely as described in "How to dry drinking system after use", slide the wideslide back.
- Reconnect the tube and store the system in a dry place.
- If necessary, clean the tube and valve.
CAUTION:
- Never use boiling water.
- Do not scrub reservoir with abrasive materials.
for mor information please read "Where can I find the Care and Use instructions for all the reservoirs?"
- First time use: Remove hygienic shrink-wrap from Helix-Valve™.
- Unlock valve from shut-off position by turning mouthpiece 180º counter-clockwise until it locks in OPEN position (drawing 4).
- To drink, bite lightly on the Helix-Valve™ groove and sip (drawing 5).
- To close valve, turn mouthpiece 180º clockwise until it locks in CLOSED position.


Notes: To get maximum flow, bite only slightly on the biting zone. Strong biting will result in blocking the valve orifice and no liquid will flow.
Tips: To avoid the first warm sip in hot weather: after drinking, bite lightly on Helix-Valve™ for a couple of seconds while keeping your lips apart to let air into the tube. Liquid remaining in the tube returns to the reservoir.
Please follow these instructions:

QMT – Quick Mate Technology: Push-button convenience for fast and easy disconnection of tube and valve, and attachment of various accessories (patent pending).

Our reservoirs were developed to be used with water. Please note we’ve never had any complaints from customers who used isotonic drinks in our reservoirs.

You should have no problem using chlorine and iodine chemical water treatments inside SOURCE reservoirs. However, please note that we haven’t tested all the various available types in the market, and SOURCE will not be accountable for any damage caused.
