PLATYPUS® CARE
AND FEEDING
To get the best performance from your Platypus products, follow these basic guidelines:
HYDRATION PACKS
Keeping your pack clean will help extend the life of your pack. Brush superficial dirt away, or rinse
with warm water. If necessary, you can hand wash your pack with a sponge and mild soap. Rinse
thoroughly to remove soap residue. DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR DRY YOUR PACK. Always empty
and dry your pack before storage.
RESERVOIR CARE
Always store your reservoir dry or in your freezer. Our reservoirs are easy to dry on plastic bag dry-
ing racks, readily available at most kitchen supply retailers, and you can easily use a dishtowel
with our wide, Big Zip™openings.
