Questions & Answers
With my Rev 1, it didn't work. I responded by returning it.
I really like the cleaning brushes because they make it easier to get into tight spaces. To me, the hanger appears to be inverted. However, I believe a different brand would work as well.
Yes, it comes with a mesh bag in which you can store everything and hang the kit supplies to dry.
It's what I use with my one-year-old daughter. I have a 5 liter and a 2 liter water bottle. 5 liter. Although the drying rack in the smaller one does not fully expand, it still holds the bladder open and allows it to dry.

I like the concept behind this kit, but while the cleaning tools work as they should, the part that holds the bladder open while drying does not. For the record, I have a Skarab 18 Hydration Pack from Osprey Packs that has the 2. bladder with a capacity of 5 L Despite the fact that it was advertised as compatible, this kit does not appear to be so.
I've been tinkering with coat hangers and plastic pieces to dry out my hydration bladder for a couple of years. This is a good fit for my Ospry 3L hydration bladder. Instead of a round screw top hole, I have a slide seal that is completely open on the end when undone. You won't be able to use this with a bladder that isn't completely open on the end; it won't fit through a round hole!.
This one is great and will restore the appearance of your tubing. The only issue I had was that the hanger for drying it didn't quite fit because I have a 1. Osprey bladder, 5 liters, with inconvenient dividers. I still use it to air out after cleaning, but I only put half of it inside; it's still great!.
This was purchased in order to clean my two dogs. Because I had a few mildew spots, I used a 5L Osprey reservoir. There are two issues here: br>1) The tube brush is too short (it can't reach the last 4-inch of the tube). 6 inches, and the tube cannot be accessed from the reservoir's bottom). The brush also disintegrated the first time I used it; I'm not sure if it's because vinegar isn't compatible with it, but all of the bristles fell off right away. I'm waiting for it to be replaced by customer service. br>2) The main brush was ineffective despite soaking the reservoir in a vinegar/water/baking soda solution; I had to use a scouring pad instead. br>br>The drying rack is worth 2 stars because it is simple to use. I can't believe people complained about it.
Bag with 5 lites! Great. It is appropriate for 1. 5 bag. It only takes a little squeezing to get it in. You won't find this information in any instructions or illustrations. This is, however, how it was created. There are no instructions, so it gets a four-star rating.
You'd think Osprey would make a dryer that fits inside their own hydration packs, but you'd be wrong. Because the tops of Osprey bladders fold over to close, the rack has no shoulders or other support to keep it from slipping out. I feed the tube through the drying rack so that if it falls out while hanging to dry, it only falls about 1/3 of the way out and is caught.
I bought this new Osprey cleaning kit to replace my old CamelBak cleaning kit. All of my old reservoirs (including the CamelBaks) work with the coat hanger system, and the long brush is the only one I've found that can really clean inside the tubes. I've finally found a way to feel confident that I'm cleaning my reservoirs between uses.
The item's description is incorrect. Two tablets are listed as being included in the package. The tablets are sold separately, according to the packaging that came with the unit. Still, it appears to be a good set; just keep in mind that you'll have to purchase the tablets separately.
