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 HyFLO™ 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 Zip™ EVO Filter Connector Kit?

The Big Zip™ EVO Connector Kit is a nifty accessory that allows you to filter directly from your GravityWorks™ 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.

Reviews

It works! Followed the directions

"It works! Followed the directions to remove the old valve and had no problem with inserting the new."

— June K. (5/5)

No leaking!!

"No leaking!!"

— Lauri K. (5/5)

Did not fit the bite

"Did not fit the bite valve I bought it for. Highly displeased with it as it was advertised especially to replace previous models with compatibility."

— Maxime D. (1/5)

Hydration Heaven

"Glad to get this exact replacement. I do a lot of hiking and finally wore-out the original."

— Carl C. (5/5)

I ordered 2 of these

"I ordered 2 of these valves; one to replace the one that cracked at the top of the lip and started leaking. It was a good thing I ordered the spare because the first one I put on was already cracked...in the same place, and was immediately leaking. Since this seems to be a consistent weak spot, maybe you should consider working on improving the design? So far, the "spare" is lasting OK. Maybe the design will be improved by the time it cracks:)"

HyFlo Bite Valve

"Replaces 13 year old valves. Much better flow."

— John M. (5/5)

This valve allows excellent flow.

"This valve allows excellent flow. When you are engaged in high intensity activities like Mountain Biking and trail running you need to get water quickly and easily. This bite valve fits the bill and generally doesn't need the shutoff valve to be closed in order to stop flow. It is also easy to clean."

— Adam J. (5/5)

C’est vraiment ce dont j’avais

"C’est vraiment ce dont j’avais besoin!"

— Manon C. (5/5)

WORKS GREAT!

"Works great! Thank you!"

— Pam L. (5/5)

Good flow bite valves

"These bite valves work well. Great flow and don't leak when they have not been chewed. I recommend buying extras if you have kids using them. My kids tend to break the seal easily so they leak. For the kids I use the Evo shut off valve and that has seemed to solve the leaking issues."

— Nashalie I. (3/5)
