How to Use

Filling

  • The Geigerrig Hydration Engine is filled through a large opening at the top.
  • Once full, fold the top over, then seal with the sliding top.

Drinking

  • Pump the bulb to add air into the bladder, which pressurizes it.
  • The water spray can be activated by biting the bite valve, or by squeezing it with your fingers.
  • A separately sold inline filter can be easily attached to the drinking tube.

Cleaning

  • The bladder can be turned completely inside out, making it easy to effectively clean.
  • It is safe to put it right in the dishwasher.
  • The pressurized system helps in cleaning the tubes, but a tube brush is still a good idea.

Best Features

  • The water is sprayed into your mouth, so no sucking is required. This makes it good for other uses than drinking, and also hygienic for sharing.
  • It's very easy to clean since it is completely reversible and dishwasher safe.
  • The seal is very strong to keep the pressure in, so it is very unlikely to ever leak.
  • It also comes with a Lifetime Warranty Against Leaks.
  • The tubes can be disconnected with the quick release valve, so you don't have to pull them out of position in your pack when removing the reservoir to fill or clean it.

Possible Concerns

  • It is long and it can be difficult to fill it up all the way in a shallow sink.
  • There are no measurement line indications on the outside of the bag.

Overall Value

We found the average price online for the 3 Liter Geigerrig Hydration Engine to be $50.

While the price is at the higher end compared to other hydration bladders, the pressurized spray feature is so useful we feel it is worth it.

The Geigerrig Hydration Engine is very reasonably priced at Amazon.
