Comments about GEIGERRIG Hydration Engine Reservoir - 101 fl. oz.:
Great idea I think. This allows you to pressurize the reservoir. I do not think it was that difficult to drink from one of my old quality reservoirs. It does allow for multiple people to use and also to put the water in another container. Can also use it as a quick trail shower.

Comments about GEIGERRIG Hydration Engine Reservoir - 101 fl. oz.:
I recently bought this GeigerRig bladder. After reading a few reviews, I decided on this one because I go hiking with my dog and my cousin.
After seeing the main feature of this bladder being a pressurization pump, I decided it was perfect for me. I would normally carry multiple bottles of water in my backpack for myself, my dog and my cousin, but now I can keep all 3 of us hydrated off of just one simple to use unit.
There are 2 hoses that connect to the unit: The bottom hose is the water line that you drink from. It has an adjustable flow bite valve that you can use to change the rate that the water flows out of the valve. The second hose is the pressurization hose. It goes into a secondary bladder behind the water bladder to keep a steady stream of water flowing. One end connects to the bladder and the other connects to the ball pump valve, which has a pressure release valve installed on it.
ADVICE: Get one! The only problem that I had with mine was that the O-Ring on the water lines quick-(dis)connect was bad. I had to have it exchanged and when I got the new one I realized they had updated the quick-(dis)connect fittings so that, instead of sitting at the awkward 90-degree horizontal angle that they were at, they now sit at a 90-degree vertical angle. That small change made a big difference in that it provided another 1-2 inches of hose at the front end and it fit inside my backpack much better.
Hopefully this helps in your decision.

Comments about GEIGERRIG Hydration Engine Reservoir - 101 fl. oz.:
Hands down, greatest hydration system I've ever owned!! I'm a hiker/trail runner and when you're mid hike up a 45 degree hill, the last thing you want to do is suck in water. It's great being able to squirt the water into your mouth, even if just to get your mouth wet.
First outing with my new bladder, I pressurized the 3L engine and went on a little hike(3miles), it was raining and windy, so I hit the peak I was aiming for and turned around ASAP to run back down the mountain, on my way back my pack opened up(Not a geigerrig pack. My mistake for not getting one) from all the shaking my running was creating. Got back to my car and obviously noticed the open pack, but didn't notice that I had dropped the bulb while running. Finally noticed when I got home. I went back the next day to look for it, but it was a sunny day and many people had already been up hiking and someone must've found it. Anyways, I drank maybe a quarter of my water during the 3mile hike, so I left the bladder pressurized hoping I could still use it the next day, to go look for the bulb, I woke up the next day and the bladder held a pressure for 24hrs!! Bottom line: Geigerrigs hydartion system is awesome!! I will recommend it to anyone willing to listen. Their customer service is great too!! Replaced the bulb ASAP!!
