PRODUCT CARE

The best way to keep your USWE bladder in top-notch shape is to clean it with soap and water and let it dry completely after every use. Feel free to reach out to our Customer Service team if you have any questions at [email protected]

The Shape-Shift and Elite bladders are especially easy to clean because they’re reversible! They are also dishwasher (top-shelf recommended) friendly.

SHAPE-SHIFT & ELITE BLADDER CLEANING

Drain all liquids remaining in the bladder and remove the tube
Place your hand in the bladder, grab the bottom, and pull it back through the top opening (just like turning a sock inside out). The molded opening can also be flipped after the bladder body has been reversed
Clean the reservoir with mild soap and water or place it in the top rack of the dishwasher
Let the bladder dry out completely while reversed
Reverse right side out for storage

TUBE & BITE VALVE CLEANING

Disconnect the drink tube from the reservoir
Grasp the bite valve in one hand and the tube in the other. Pull the valve firmly to remove the bite valve from the tube
Gently remove the silicone sheath from the valve and clean it with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly
After drying the components, carefully reattach the sheath to the valve and re-install the bite valve to the tube

WHAT IF MY BLADDER GOT STAINED?

The material used in most of our bladders, Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), is chosen for superior durability and flexibility. It is porous and can be stained like fabric. Staining is generally caused by food coloring used in gel or liquids and does not affect the functionality of the product; yet can be difficult to remove. A company called Clean Ethics has engineered a chlorine-free, non-toxic, and biodegradable tablet that is safe for virtually any surface, called Bottle Bright. We recommend using this product to combat stains and odors in your USWE bladder.

WHAT IF MY BLADDER CATCHES TASTE?

Some users may initially notice a plastic-like taste when using any of our products made with TPU. This taste typically subsides over time and can be eliminated by simply squeezing juice from a lemon into the product, filling it with water, and then freezing it. After frozen, remove, thaw, and rinse.
