√ Hydrators and drinking systems
| Продолжение каталога см. на след.страницах |
Hydration is a critical factor, especially in active and physically demanding situations such as hiking, sports training or military operations. This is where hydrators and hydraulic systems come to the rescue. These devices provide a convenient and fast way to stay hydrated in any environment. Let us introduce you to the world of hydrators, their features and benefits.
What are hydrators?
Hydrators are specially designed water tanks that are easy to transport and use on the go. They are soft plastic or rubber bags with a water valve for drinking that can be filled with water and carried in a backpack or bag.
The design of hydrators
Typically, a hydrator consists of a water tank (also known as a "jellyfish") and a drinking hose. The tank has an opening for filling and is usually fitted with a lid or seal to prevent leakage. The hose attaches to the tank and provides easy access to water without having to stop and remove the tank.
materials
Materials used in hydrators include polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which are wear resistant and have high tensile strength. Some hydrators may also have a coating that prevents bacterial growth and mold from forming inside the tank.
Volumes
The volume of hydrators usually ranges from 1 to 3 liters, depending on your hydration needs and the size of your backpack. For long hikes or military operations, a large hydration pack is recommended, while for short excursions or sports, a small hydration pack may be sufficient.
Military hydrators
Military personnel often use hydration packs in the field to provide quick and convenient access to water. With high physical activity and in conditions where it is not possible to stop often and get a bottle of water, hydrators become indispensable. Some hydrators are even designed to military standards and may include additional features such as camouflage patterns or MOLLE attachment systems for easy portability.
How to use and maintain hydrators
- Filling: open the lid or shutter and fill the tank with water. Try not to overfill it to prevent leaks.
- Usage: Attach the hose to the tank (if it is not already attached) and pass it through the special hole in the backpack or through the special fasteners on your equipment. Always make sure the hose is available for drinking without having to stop or remove your backpack.
- Cleaning: After each use, it is recommended to thoroughly rinse the reservoir and hose with water to remove residual water and prevent bacterial growth. Some hydrators have special hose cleaning brushes.
