Review on πŸ’§ Enhanced Tube Adapter for Hydration Systems by Source Tactical by Phil Casey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A+ addition to my kit

I got these a few months ago and have used them enough times to write an honest review. My tube setup is a combination of a full length tube paired with a half length second tube, this was what I needed to get the perfect length for me. I use my utu at the hose junction, put it in and then put it on the neck of the bottle. No effort is required to keep the water flowing after the bottle is lifted. And when the water starts to flow, the bottle is quickly empty! Compared to the speed of filling the bladder this way, compared to opening the lid and filling through the opening with a bag under the tube, there is no comparison. On long or hot days, the hydration bladder can be filled in just a few minutes with little effort. By the way, I constantly use a wheelchair and carry a water supply for the whole day on the back of a chair with a drinking source installed. Uta allows me to have someone help me fill it up in about 3 minutes or I can do it myself but it takes longer. The Source setup is the best I've seen or heard in the 25 or so years since I got my first Hydrator.
