How to Connect a Purifier to a CamelBak

CamelBak is a company that produces packs worn strapped to your back designed to be filled with water to help bicyclists and hikers have access to water while leaving their hands free. It also offers an adapter that filters and purifies water so you can refill at streams and untested water sources without fear of contamination. It takes only a small amount of prep work to hook up the filter and purify your water.

      Remove either the existing Big Bite or HydroLock valve from your Camelbak tube assembly. Soak the tube in hot water. Twist the HydroLink HydroLock into the end of the tube. This may take a bit of force, but if it has been heated enough if should be malleable.
