Camelback - How green is too green
The bag shown below is about 6 years old. I've bleached it a few times but the green color seems permanent. It hasn't made me sick yet. At what point do you just toss the bag and buy another?
When it was new the water containing part was the same blue color as the upper part.

The bladder probably shouldn't turn the water green and it may be time to replace it.

Meh. I've used a camelbak that looked that brownish-green... No ill effects so far.

I haven't been able to see through the tube on mine in a year or two. Adds a nice flavor.
...because warm beer is infinitely colder than no beer.

have you actually ever done this? you can't get the watered-down vodka taste out of the bladder and i think the alcohol starts like corroding the plastic so it just ends up all crummy. Originally Posted by advres
