FAQs and Documents

How do I use my Reservoir Cleaning Kit to clean my reservoir?

Our Reservoir Cleaning Kit comes with two brushes: one long, thin brush and one shorter, wider brush. These are used to scrub different parts of your hydration reservoir.


The long, skinny brush is made to clean your drink tube. Keeping a finger in the hoop at the end of the brush, you can use the brush on the opposite end to scrub the inside of your drink tube. Note: When detaching your drink tube to clean, it's easiest to access the interior of your drink tube through the end with the bite valve.


The shorter, wider brush is used for scrubbing the interior of your reservoir. Simply hold on to the obvious handle, and use the bristled end to scrub at any visible dirt or residue inside your reservoir.

How do I install my Bite Valve Cover?

First, remove your HyFLOâ„¢ Bite Valve from your shutoff valve.Next, insert the base of the Bite Valve Cover over the tube, and push it all the way down.Open the top of the Bite Valve Cover, and re-insert your HyFLO Bite Valve onto the shutoff valve with the base of the Bite Valve Cover between the bite valve and the shutoff valve.Last, close the top of the Bite Valve Cover. Voila!

How do I use my Big Zipâ„¢ EVO Filter Connector Kit?

The Big Zipâ„¢ EVO Connector Kit is a nifty accessory that allows you to filter directly from your GravityWorksâ„¢ into your Big Zip EVO without ever having to remove your reservoir from your pack.


To do so, you first need to remove your drink tube from your reservoir via the quick-disconnect. Then, plug the connection point on the connector kit's hose directly into the quick-disconnect point (you will hear a click). Next, attach the connector kit's hose to the base of your GravityWorks filter cartridge. Let gravity do the rest, as you're now on your way to clean, taste-free hydration.

Review highlights

Reviews

This valve cover is great,

"This valve cover is great, it reduces freezing and it keeps it clean when I put my pack on the ground."

— Adam M. (5/5)

Add as part of original set up.

"This really should be part of the original set up. Have used my playpus for years but always end up getting dirt around the bite valve when I put my rucksac down. So expensive as a separate item. It should be included."

— Julie (3/5)

Great product

"Used on last couple long hikes in the Utah Capitol Reef Park. Works as expected. Quality product. Great enhancement to the Big Zip Evo 3L water bladder."

— Carl E. (5/5)

Dirt No More

"What a joy to finally have a bite valve cover that fits a Platypus and does exactly what it is supposed to do - keep the dirt out. It is easy to install, and to pop off and on for sips. It was reasonably priced and arrived quickly."

— Sally S. (5/5)

The bite cover works perfectly.

"The bite cover works perfectly. However, what I really like is the cut-off valve, which has prevented a lot of water spills when taking my backpack off and/or laying it down. Super upgrade with both."

— William J. (5/5)

It des not stay shut.

"It des not stay shut. Pops open immediately."

— Denis L. (2/5)

Good cover but I bought

"Good cover but I bought the wrong cover for the valve I have so it doesn't really fit"

— Ilysa P. (3/5)

How is this still sold separately?!?!

"I put out alot of money for my platypus waterbladder a month ago and finally took it on my first hike the other week, almost immediately I found the bite valve getting dirt, dust and debris all over it. My friends who bought other brands all had covers come with theirs, but the platypus does not? Whats the purpose of selling this separately? I want to be a good customer and support the brand as I find my reservoir stellar, except for when its dusty and dirty which is often without the valve cover. Please Platypus, take the advice, bundle it with your bladders."

— Riley (1/5)

It works, with some caveats

"I encountered two issues with the product. First, this caused the bite valve to leak, so the cover continues to slowly fill with water and then drips out. Second, installing the bite valve cover requires disconnecting the bite valve from the hose, which led to the whole bite valve ensemble popping off when being stored, a problem which I had not encountered in my two years of using the bladder."

— Tessa (3/5)

Why do you even sell this piece separately?

"This should come with the bladder. After I saw this is sold separately, I returned my product and bought something comes with it. You are trying to make couple more bucks but you are loosing lots of customers. For us, it is not about couple dollars. It is important for me to shop somewhere respects me instead of trying to pull couple of dollars with every attachment."

— Uygar (1/5)
