It Does Its Job With No Aftertaste
Before, I rarely used my CamelBak Zoid because it was insulated (so I could go skiing with it) because did not have a removable reservoir and therefore could not be cleaned well. Because it never got a good cleaning, it still had a plasticy aftertaste and one day I forgot to empty it and left water in it for a few days and some "funk" began to grow in it. Thats when I broke down and bought the cleaning kit. I did not get a lot of crud in the reservoir because I could clean it out with a regular brush, but I pulled out a lot of green gunk from the hose, thanks to the hose cleaning pipe. After that I ran the cleaning tab in there. This made such a difference. Not only was the mold and crap gone, but the plasticy aftertaste was gone too! Now I use my CamelBak for biking and all kinds of other outdoor activites. Also, the tabs didn't leave a bleachy aftertaste (I was worried, because they smell quite chemically when you put them in).
Okay, but not worth the cost.
I own a Camelbak hydro-backpack with a single storage pocket and I use it for extended biking trips which means I get plenty of use from it. I bike at least three times a week, more in the warmer weather, and I thought I needed a good cleaning kit for my pack too. However, the cleaning kit is not all what it's cut out to be. Usually, after I come home I always clean my pack and bladder out, dry it and store it until I next use it. The bladder must be emptied, washed and dried. I used the cleaning kit four times and it took longer to clean the bladder this way than when I washed it out with soap and warm water. The brush doesn't work as well as I thought it would and is rather clumsy. The only thing that lived up to its name were the two free chlorine cleaning tablets that came with the kit. The hanging dryer also wasn't of real good use either. I would recommend not purchasing this item, just take the five minutes every time you use your Camelbak to wash it out with soap & water.
Wonderful Product
Been just rinsing and drying my CamelBak for months since started but it slowly gave a funny taste. Purchased cleaning kit and saw an immediate improvement. The pellets also work wonders. Too bad only two pellets are provided with kit. So require to purchase more pellets. The drying system was also great for CamelBak reservoirs. It doesn't work with any other reservoirs (my roommate had a different brand and it didn't fit on hers). Overall, a wonderful product.
