Also recommended filling with water and storing in fridge.

Big thanks cunninghamair

Now, was that ever good timing.

I received my super duper Camelbak Day Star bought on eBay and it really is the best deal I have ever had. The girl had only used it for one trekking holiday and it really is in almost new condition and it only cost me $11.00!

I bought the the Milton Sterilising tablets for $1.30. The instructions stated not to rinse out but I did, as there was a definite taste left.

The link to the Camelbak maintenance is brilliant, answers all my questions.

Cannot wait to go out on a bike ride with my new toy.
