    CAmelbak and plastic taste

    Great suggestion on the baking soda; it definitely works! Another suggestion is that you could add a lime to youtr water and that willl help with the taste as well.

    For cleaning it, there are lots of kits out there but the one that my customers seem to recommend the most is denture cleaning tablets. Just add them to your bladder and it will take care of everything and all you do is rinse and run water back through it.

    I would put some baking soda and water in it, open the bite valve to fill the drink tube with the solution, and let it sit overnight, then rinse it out.
