Hydration Bladder Valves
The Valve on your Hydration Rucksack is the single most important part of the system. Most systems have a bite valve, which opens and allows your drink to flow when you bite down on it, and closes again when you stop biting down on it. Some bladder valves have a dust cap to keep the unit clean when not in uses and most are made from silicone rubber which I easy to keep clean and to sterilise. When you need hydration, at a critical point in a race or when you’ve busted a gut on a big climb on the bike, you’ll be glad you kept your bladder valve in shape. Platypus Bladder Valves are the most popular amongst athletes like you, so as you’re looking for a new valve we’ve chosen a selection of the very best bladders for you.
Here’s a Selection of Replacement Rucksack Hydration Bladder Valves.
Most bladder valves are similar in function and are interchangeable between systems, so the Platypus Valves will fit onto your Dakine Hydration System for example. If you’re going to be using your Hydration Rucksacks often it’s worth looking at a bite valve with a shut-off switch, such as the Platypus Shut Off, this is a simple twist system that prevents accidental spill when you’re using your rucksack.
It’s worth remembering the bite valve on your Hydration Rucksack is probably the piece of the system that will wear out first, fortunately bite valves are cheap and very easy to replace. Fitting a new bit valve is as simple as pulling the old one off and sliding the new one into place.
It’s easy to get started so when you’re ready to replace your tired old Hydration Rucksack valve for a leak proof, sterile, high flow new one, for just a few pounds, just follow any of the links or images above.
