My baddler is 3L, but I believe it will fit any baddler of any size.
It is solely a manual cleaning system.
It's perfectly acceptable because a regular backpack is larger than a hydration pack, so it must be installed and is extremely useful.
The hanger measures 12 inches in diameter. From the top of the hook to the bottom, it measures 5 inches. br>The part that is the widest is number four. You can get it down to 1 inch by squeezing it down from 5 inches. 75 inches in length If necessary, the plastic could be cut to make it shorter.

So I didn't expect the best hydration bladder cleaning experience when I got this. Let's face it: hydration bladders are typically small and therefore difficult to clean. br>br>These tools are designed to make the cleaning process easier, and that is exactly what they do. Brushes become increasingly difficult to use. The drying hanger makes it easier to keep the bag open so it can air dry. However, the hanger does not guarantee that the clothes are completely dry. Because the edges of hydration bladders like to stay closed, a small amount of water is always left behind. The hanger was also too big for the opening in my bladder, making it difficult to insert and remove. Regardless, these tools have met my expectations. br>br> I despise having to clean my hydration bladder, but these make it a little easier.
Maybe the Camelbak tubing is too tight. However, while the kit is attractive and of good quality, it is not without flaws. When I went to insert the long skinny wire brush, I noticed that you have to twist it a little to clean the tube (where the gunk builds up by the bag's insertion point), and that's when it happened - The only way to get the brush out was to cut MY camelback tube off where it connects to the bag. br>br>The only way to get the brush out was to cut MY camelback tube off where it connects to the bag. br>br> Drat! Otherwise, it would have been an excellent cleaning set. The long skinny brush is a tight fit, so gently pushing it inside the long tube takes some effort. The twisted wire brush is inserted into the handle, which appears to be a flexible, tightly wound wire. So it couldn't come out when I pulled the red plastic ring in the metal wire handle because it was too tight a fit in my tube. br>br>I tried but couldn't get the brush end back into its long wire handle. I hope this has been of assistance.
When I tried to pull the long brush out of the feeding tube of my Shape-Up, the handle broke off. Shift. To get it out, I had to use a set of clamps. If it breaks after the first use, the materials are inferior. The long tube cleaner, as well as the short tube cleaner, were thrown out at that point (I didn't want to even try!). I'm not sure how to put the hanger to good use. There are no guidelines to follow. I can't even find a YouTube video that demonstrates how to use it. Make a financial plan.
I got both of my Camelbaks clean, but the brush that's supposed to clean the tube is too big for the job. br>The tube on my older model was smaller, and I could only clean it by pushing the brush all the way through. I thought I'd have to buy a new tube because it became so stuck that I was surprised I was able to get it out. br>In my newer model, which has a slightly larger hose, it was also tight. I could only get the brush halfway in and couldn't clean the rest of the hose because the end wasn't removable. br>With a slightly smaller diameter brush for the hose and a little more length, the product would be nearly perfect.
I was able to clean my hydration pack fairly thoroughly, with the exception of the tube, which I find bothersome. I can see the buildup inside the tube that I can't get to because I've been using it more frequently recently because I've been going on more hikes. With the long flexible brush included in this kit, I can finally clean it. The other brushes are nice as well, but I don't find them to be particularly useful. The hanger, on the other hand, is fantastic; it makes it much easier to properly air dry the pack.
I put off purchasing a cleaning kit until I decided to disassemble my camel pack and clean it thoroughly one day! I realized I was in desperate need of this. The brushes are excellent and thoroughly cleaned all of the components. If I had one complaint, it would be that the hanging/drying bracket does not hold the bladder as securely or as wide open (as I had hoped). However, it's still preferable to having no hanger.
Just buy. The cleaning wands and mouthpieces were the main reasons for purchasing this item. After reading the reviews, I assumed the dryer would be a shambles (which it was). But even if it hadn't been for that, this was a fantastic deal. It was exactly what I needed to clean my old camelbak, and it worked flawlessly. It even came with replacement mouthpieces for my camelbak, which aren't cheap compared to the name brand ones! When it's time to replace it, I'll definitely buy it again!.
br>br>The tube cleaner isn't long enough to go all the way through my tube from one end. But it's so tight that even if it were longer, you might not be able to get it out. br>br>The expandable dryer rack that fits inside the bladder could be a little bigger to allow for more airflow and better drying.
