Review on Stay Hydrated on the Go with Source Hydration Bladder - 3L Water Bladder with High Flow Storm Valve and Hydration Technology Advantages by Mike Cody

I bought this Source 3 liter water bottle because it has good reviews and claims to be durable and tasteless. So far I haven't been able to get rid of the water taste from the hose (and I've run about 50 gallons of water through it and also cleaned it with baking soda, lemon water and bleach). I've tried it, the taste seems to go away for a few minutes, then after a few hours of hiking or activity the taste returns and becomes completely unbearable. like drinking out of a cheap vinyl hose that's been sitting in the sun for a year. In terms of durability, it ran all the way through the inside of my holdall from the hose to the bag connector when I first roughed it up. It's fair to say I want my money back or what I paid for. That was a sticky water blister with no taste and that's definitely not what I got.
