I clean my bite valve regularly, but eventually the rubber itself gets stained and retains smell/taste. The straw, being hard plastic, is much easier to clean fully and AT MOST I would need 1 straw for every 2 valves. Fortunately, camelbak sells a 5 pack of valves on their site, though I'm not sure why it's not on yet...

| I find Camelbak products to be great and we own 6 bottles and two packs (say NO to disposable plastic water bottles!) but I must agree that it seems ridiculous that bottle bite valves cannot be purchased individually! How many requests will it take, Camelbak? |

I'm adding my voice to the already-extant cacophony: why can't we order a bite valve without the straws?? As others have said, the valve goes bad way before the straw ever would. It irks me that I'm paying almost half the amount as it would be to just get a brand new bottle.
I've combed the internet for suggestions on how to clean the bite valve to prevent having to replace it so often (without the Camelbak cleaning gear) and here's what I've come up with: I put it in a glass with hot soapy water and let it sit overnight, and then I scrub it out with my pinkie with thin cloth (bandana) over it, then I try to scrub the inner grooves with q-tips, going in from both ends. Nothing works very well! An old toothbrush, trimmed, will not get rid of those moldy spots once they start. I've read you can boil it, but then people say it breaks down faster and gets holes if you do that, so I haven't tried it. What I'm going to do with this one is just take it off and shake the water out of it every night when I get home and let it air out, and scrub it once a week or so. If you have other ideas comment please! |

| I have only had my bottle for a few days but I use crystal light in it so i can see where it is left in the bite tube. I take off the bite tube, rinse it out, rinse under it and use a paper towel if needed to clean better. Put the bit back on, then put it all in the dishwasher, if it is still wet under the bite I just take it off and dry it so it will not grow mold, it is not all that hard to do. I got extra because Murphy's law works a bit to well with me so wanted extra 'just in case'. |

| I love the bite valve/straw concept and have the .5L and .75L bottles. It's great that replacements are available. One warning: if you suffer from jaw pain you may find that using the bite valve exacerbates your jaw pain. I have intermittent jaw pain and on those days drinking from my CamelBak hurts. |
