Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) surface analysis of a 100x100 microns surface shows incontestably that Source's Glass-LikeTM film is 1000% smoother than the leading competitor's PU film and only 50% different from glass itself.

SOURCE Glass-LikeTM film

Why your drinking water should come from a highly reliable SOURCEBacteria, mold, yeast and algae are facts of life; however they can endanger your health when rapidly growing and dividing in a medium such as drinking water.

Bacteria grow by clinging to a surface and creating a bio-film that allows them to flourish and become potentially dangerous.

A liquid container with a smooth contact surface such as glass restricts the ability of this bio-film to form. There are no irregularities on the surface for bacteria to cling to and the regular flow of water self cleans the container.

Source has developed a unique plastic film that has a Glass-LikeTM surface. Source is the only hydration system using this film.

On top of that... Source has innovated Grunge-GuardTM, a unique anti-microbial technology, and integrated it into all films and tubes. Grunge-GuardTM utilizes an FDA approved agent that blocks bacteria growth on the tube and reservoir surfaces.

Grunge-GuardTM has no effect on the water and is non-leaching. The synergy of the Glass-LikeTM plastic film and Grunge-GuardTM gives double protection against bacteria growth. Your drinking water stays fresh, odor and taste-free for days, even months. There's no need to clean, simply refill and drink.

CO-EXTRUDED TUBE A sophisticated UV- Block and IR-Reduction insulated cover is combined with our antimicrobial co-extruded tube to keep liquid cool and taste/bacteria free from the first sip to the last.

NC FILLER CAPTM

An air-tight low profile large opening designed for one hand operation with a swift 270o turn. Compatible with commonly used personal water filters.

REFILL HANDLEA lightweight handle for spill-free refills.

WIDESLIDE CLOSURE(90mm in diameter) Our patented user-friendly slide closure offers wide opening access for easy filling, cleaning, draining or ice cube insertion. Airtight seal. With our new and improved slider, the bag is stronger than ever before.

QMTTM Quick Connect Allows the drinking valve to be quickly disconnected so the tube can be easily threaded through the vest.

LOW PROFILE Maximum utilization of our low profile technology reduces the depth of the carrier making it a truly low profile hydration system.

STORM VALVETM

Our free-flow valve design. The Storm Valve's rounded shape requires no special orientation in the mouth and delivers exceptionally high flow. The "bio-net" sealing mechanism locks shut with a simple twist, eliminating the need for extra shutoff valves.

HELIX VALVETM

Source's bite valve. Helix Valve features a rounded shape that requires no special mouth orientation. A retreat spring mechanism delivers full flow with a soft bite and will not drip even under pressure or prolong use. Built-in "bio-net" style shutoff mechanism prevents accidental leaks during transport.

ANGLED VALVEThe angled valve allows the tube to be 25cm shorter so theres less excess to hang up or bounce around. (U.S.Patent 6,622,988)

DIRT-SHIELDTM

A tough lightweight cover that keeps the valve dirt-free and protects against damage during transport.
