Recently got myself a Platypus 2l water bladder....its a great piece of kit but it does leave the water with a rubber taste. Will this taste lessen with use or is there something I can put in to give it a rinse out?
Thanks
Aidan

I have one as well. Mine stopped after a few days. It is the hose that gives the taste I think. I rinsed it a few times with a drop of Yes and then just water. It helped.

Thanks.....I figured it was the hose alright. hopefully it will wear off then with use.
