Hydration Bladder Drying System

I love my hydration bladder systems, but I hate the fact that they take so long to dry. If you don't dry them, or fill them up with a weak chlorine solution, you end up with green, swampy smelling water in no time.

Step 1 What'cha Need

Two wire coat hangers
Heat shrink
Heat gun
Pliers
Electical tape.

Blackhawk Bladders can be turned inside-out . easier to clean and dry.

I'm from the Philippines. I'm a member or a mountaineering group and what we usually do is clean our bladders with salt and warm water. We usually do this before and after a mountain expedition.

My husband and I love camping and do so about twice a year. We have 2 of the water bladders and they are a pain in the butt to dry...you are so right! I will get my husband to make this for us.

Question: How do you effectively clean and dry the mouth spout....eaasy to get masty too!
Thanks for the 'ible.

Typically I run a mild bleach water solution through everything including the mouth spout so far that's done a pretty good job of keeping it from getting to nasty.
