Comments about CamelBak Brush Set:

this cleaning set is easy to use and works great. i hadn't used my camelbak gor about 8 months so there was probably mold building up in the tube. i used this cleaning tool to clean up the tube in about 3 minutes.

Comments about CamelBak Brush Set:

I bought this set for the skinny brush as well. I was so happy that it's long and flexible, except it's not long enough to fit down the entire tube of the camelbak! I don't want to detach the tube from the reservoir because that loosens the seal of the tube, so there's still about 5 inches that aren't clean in my tube. Now I can see a distinct line between where the tube is clean, and where it is still dirty. I'm rather disappointed they wouldn't make the brush long enough!!! I also wish they would sell the skinny brush by itself.

Comments about CamelBak Brush Set:

There is nothing wrong with removing the tube from the bladder for cleaning. I'm kind of surprised that folks would try to clean it still attached, as this would push the gunk into the trap and bladder.

Take it apart and get it clean...it goes back together!

Comments about CamelBak Brush Set:

This kit seems like a great idea. My wife is especially diligent about cleaning her Camelbak and was looking for a way to clean the tube dirt out.

However, the tube wire is a few inches to short to reach from one end to the other. To use it, you have to take the tube off the reservoir, which is a very tight connection.

My solution was to add some wire to the loop end and it works. I had to squish the circle loop on the end and bend it around another section of wire. It is annoying I had to do this after paying $10 for this kit.

Save the money, just find a small brush and attach some picture hanging wire to it.

Cleaning Your Camelbak

Comments about CamelBak Brush Set:

Mostly I wanted to comment on some of the reviews.

Yes, the tube brush is short. If you have the older Omega reservoir, it is a little tricky disconnecting the tube from the reservoir. Running very warm water over the connection helps it slide off. If you have the newer Antidote reservoir, then it is a nonissue. The Quick Link system allows you to easily disconnect the tube from the reservoir. You can purchase a Quick Link conversion kit for the Omega reservoir (I haven't used the conversion kit).

I have used the reservoir brush without trouble. The handle will not reach the bottom, but the reservoir is very flexible. It can be compressed enough to reach the bottom. My hand (average size for a guy) fits through the lid, so I can reach inside with the brush.

I've had my Camelbak for almost two years. As long as you air dry it thoroughly before storing it, you should not have any trouble with mold. Simply hang it upside-down with the reservoir held open, and disconnect the tube and Hydro Lock. Blow excess water out of the Hydro Lock and tube for quicker drying.

Camelbak suggests storing the reservoir in the freezer to prevent mold. I have not done that, but it is another option.

Comments about CamelBak Brush Set:

The fat brush works well for cleaning the bladder and the opening.However, the skinny brush is about 8-9 inches too short! This is a serious design flaw. The bottom of the tube cannot be cleaned easily (if at all) due to this issue. I even tried going through the bottom of the bladder where it attaches to the tube but could not twist the brush to fit through the opening. I am seriously disappointed with this product. Instead of spending only [$] or so to clean out mold from the bladder, I'll now have to spend another $30 to buy a new bladder.
