Camelbak Taste
I have a Camelbak Blowfish with the 3 litre bladder. The water tastes
strongly of plastic. I bought the thing largely because of the claims that the bladder and tubing were taste-free. Wrong! Water tastes so bad I tend to avoid drinking rather than sipping to keep hydrated. Anyone out there got any tips on getting rid of the taste? I've tried bicarb, a teaspoonful of bleach (both recommended by Camelbak), vinegar and Steradent tablets (all separately... maybe I should have mixed them!). No idea what to try next... Any suggestions appreciated. Cheers, -- Frank Drop DACKS to reply |

Any suggestions appreciated. Cheers, Frank I cured the plastic taste problem by filling with tap water and adding a few drops of Vanilla extract. I left it in for two days and then amptied it and rinsed thouroughly about six times, the taste was still there but very slightly. I did the same treatment again a week later and have never tasted plastic since,. Hope this helps. Ro |
