Did you know?
(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.
(The amount also depends on local climate and
conditions.)
Drinking replenishes 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.
As a rule:
Your body needs 1 liter (33 oz) of water for every hour
of intensive outdoor activity.

Why your drinking water should be
obtained from a highly reliable Source?
Bacteria, molds, yeasts and algae are facts of life.
Bacteria and grunge grow by clinging to a surface
and creating a bio-film that allows them to flourish.
A liquid container with a smooth contact surface
such as glass reduces the ability of bio-film to
form. There are no irregularities on the surface for
bacteria to cling to and the regular flow of water
self-cleans the container.
Source has developed a unique plastic
film that has a Glass-Like™ surface and
features Grunge-Guard™ technology
Glass-Like™ is a unique property of the surface
of the inner walls of the reservoir. The surface is
nearly as smooth as glass and prevents build up of
Bio Film in the reservoir.
On top of that, 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 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.
Your drinking water stays fresh,
odor and taste-free for days,
even weeks!

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.
1. To fill: Open Filler-Cap.
2. Grasp integrated Refill-Handle and fill reservoir
(drawing 1).
The reservoir is designed to store cold as well as
warm drinks (up to 60ºC or 140ºF). You may add ice
for cold drinks, or even freeze water in the reservoir
overnight (only 3/4 full).
3. Close Filler-Cap and tighten for airtight seal.
4. In our integrated hydration systems, the reservoir
is stored inside the pack. Filling in these models is
done without taking the reservoir out of the pack:
just open the Filler-Cap, grasp the handle as shown
in drawing 2 and fill.
CAUTION Do not fill with boiling water.
NOTE Turn pack upside down and suck out
excess air from the reservoir to silence
your pack (stealth mode) and increase
the period for which water remains
fresh and taste-free.

Operating HELIX-Valve™
If your system is equipped with STORM-Valve™, see p. 10
1. First time use: Remove hygienic 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 3 and 4).
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 5).
5. To close the valve,turn mpiyjpiece 180º clockwise
until it locks in CLOSED position.
6. When not in use, cover Helix-Valve™ with the
DIrt-Shield™ (available in most of the models)
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 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.

Operating STORM-Valve
1. Remove hygienic shrink-wrap from STORM-Valve™
2. Unlock valve from LOCKED position by turning
mouthpiece 90º counter-clockwise (drawing 6).
3. Open the valve (drawing 7) by pulling the rubber
mouthpiece.
4. Now you know how to operate the valve, its
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:
5. Drinking: To drink, sip as with a straw.
6. To close the valve, push in the mouthpiece.
7. To lock the valve when closed, turn mouthpiece 90º
clockwise (drawing 6)
8. When not in use, cover STORM-Valve™ with the
DIrt-Shield™ (drawing 8) (available in most of the
models)
Note In the lock/shut-off position, the grooves
on the rubber mouthpiece are aligned
with the dots on the valve’s housing. In
the dark, use your fingers to verify that
the valve is in the secure lock position.
Tip Pull/Push Valve can be operated by hand
or by mouth.
