How does it work?

The ZEROGOO drying system seals around the fill opening then pressurizes and inflates the bladder forcing air to exhaust out the drinking tube and through the relief opening on the dryer unit. This method dries both the bladder and the drinking tube. The inflation of the bag ensures that air circulates throughout the entire bag and supply tube so all moisture will evaporate.

What makes ZEROGOO different?

Current systems on the market are comprised of hangers that insert into the bag forcing the bag open but do nothing to circulate air through the bag and drinking tube and often leave corners of the bag collapsed together allowing mold and mildew to grow. There are other methods such as cleaning tablets and pipe cleaners. These are used after there is a problem with mold and mildew building up in the bag and drinking tube. Also, the cleaning tablets leave an after taste in the bag which is not very pleasant.

What are the main advantages of the dryer?

The ZEROGOO drying system provides preventive maintenance and a more reliable and efficient way of drying the hydration bladder and supply hose. The dryer also works well on new bags to evaporate solvents left over from the manufacturing process.

Are there any alternative uses for the dryer?

The dryer works to dry shoes and boots after a hike or ride. There isn't any heat to shrink leather or synthetic material - only air.

What types of hydration bladders will the ZEROGOO dryer fit?

The current ZEROGOO dryer fits the original small mouth and the newer large mouth Camelbak® brand hydration bags. We are currently working on adapters for other brands' bags.
