(a short course on Hydration and Dehydration)

Water is essential:

Water is essential even if you are just breathing but

when exercising, it is especially vital. During prolonged or

strenuous exercise you can easily sweat away over 1 liter

of water an hour.

As a rule, your body needs 1 liter (33 oz) of

water for every hour of intensive outdoor activity

to replenish that sweat loss.

You are what you drink:

Even slight dehydration can cause fatigue, dizziness,

reduced muscle endurance, headaches, and cramps.

In fact, prolonged dehydration is downright dangerous

to your health!

The cooler, the better:

Fluid replacement in your body works better if the

liquid you drink is cooler (15-22ºC or 59-72F).

The faster, the better:

Reducing the gap between the time you lose water

and replenish water loss ensures that your body has all

the water it needs to function at peak level. Quick, easy

access to a reliable, refreshing source of H2O is the key.

Did you know?

Your drinking water stays fresh,

odor and taste-free for days, even weeks!

Glass-Like™ and Grunge-Guard™

Bacteria, molds, yeasts and algae are facts of life.

Bacteria and grunge grow by clinging to irregularities of a

surface and creating a bio-ﬁlm that allows them to ﬂourish.

SOURCE has developed a unique plastic ﬁlm that has a

Glass-Like™ surface that reduces signiﬁcantly the ability of

bio-ﬁlm to form. Thanks to this property, the regular ﬂow

of water is enough to clean the container and water stays

fresh for a long time.

SOURCE was the ﬁrst to initiate Grunge-Guard™ technology.

Utilizing an FDA-approved and EPA-registered anti microbial

agent embedded into all ﬁlms and tube liners, Grunge

Guard™ eliminates bacteria growth on the tube and

reservoir inner surfaces.

The synergy of Glass-Like™ and Grunge-Guard™ gives

double protection against bacteria growth and will assure

the freshness of the water for the entire life of the system.

Filling the reservoir

FIRST USE: Before drinking it is strongly recommended to

rinse the reservoir with water and drain it through the tube

and valve. Follow the instructions for ﬁlling and operating

the valve BUT DON'T DRINK YET.

Before drinking you will be instructed how to drain the water

you ﬁlled in the resrevoir.

To ﬁll:

1. Disconnect the tube from the reservoir by pressing the

release button of the SQC™ connector at the bottom of the

reservoir.

2. Open reservoir by sliding off Widepac™-Closure sideways

and unfold the top. (drawing 1)

3. Insert your thumb and foreﬁnger into both holes of the

Widepac™ holder and press lightly inward as shown in

drawing 2 to widen the Widepac™ opening.

4. Fill the reservoir.

5. Fold top and close reservoir’s wide opening by sliding back

Widepac™-Closure. (drawing 3)

The reservoir is designed to store cold as well as warm

drinks (up to 60ºC/140ºF).;

You can add ice for cold drinks, or even freeze water in the

reservoir overnight (only 3/4 ﬁll).

Filling the reservoir

OPEN

CAUTION Do not ﬁll with boiling water.

NOTE Only one end of the Widepac™-Closure is

open, but you can slide it onto the reservoir

top from left or right.

Using HELIX™-Valve

1. First time use: Remove shrink-wrap from HELIX™-Valve.

2. Unlock valve from shut-off position by turning mouthpiece

180º counter-clockwise until it locks in OPEN position

(drawings 4, 5).

3. Now you know how to operate the valve, it's time to

drain the ﬁrst water you have ﬁlled in the reservoir.

Go to page 12 to see how it's done and continue

from here:

4. Drinking: To drink, bite lightly on the HELIX™-Valve groove

and sip (drawing 6).

5. To close the valve, turn mouthpiece 180º clockwise until it

locks in CLOSE position (drawing 5).

6. When not in use, cover HELIX™-Valve with the Dirt-Shield™

(available in most of the models) or tuck it in the docking

station (standard in some of the models or purchased as an

accessory).

Notes

To get maximum ﬂow, bite only slightly on the

biting zone. Strong biting will result in blocking

the valve oriﬁce and no liquid will ﬂow.

Tips To avoid the ﬁrst warm sip in hot weather:

after drinking, bite lightly on the HELIX™-Valve

for a couple of seconds while keeping your lips

apart to let air into the tube. Liquid remaining

in the tube returns to the reservoir.

Rinsing before first time use

To rinse the reservoir before ﬁrst time use:

1. Open side zipper and take the reservoir out of the pack.

2. Fill the reservoir as described in page 6.

3. Turn the valve to OPEN position (drawing 7)

4. Roll the reservoir from the top down to create pressure on

the reservoir (drawing 8).

5. Pinch the drinking groove between your index and thumb

and let the water ﬂow through the valve.

(see blow-up, drawing 9)

6. Drain at least a third of the capacity of the reservoir

(if you have a 3L reservoir, drain at least 1L).

You can drink now. See drinking in page 8, para. 4.
