I lost my camelbak All Clear bottle but still have the top part that does the magic. Can I safely use a regular (non All Clear) 750ml Camelbak bottle?

Sorry to hear you lost the all clear bottle! Yes. In theory, you can use it in any other bottle that fits the cap. Although you should use it on 750ml bottles only, you can maybe use it on 1 L bottles but you might have to process the water at least 2 times. Good luck out there!

I wouldn't see a reason why not to use another camelbak bottle but am no scientist to back up my answer. My take is that the lid emits light (UV) that kills organisms in the water...

Yes you can. Just make sure that the Cap fits the bottle body properly and that the thread matches perfectly.

The all clear bottle blocks the UV rays, which can be harmful to your skin & eyes. An alternative would be to use an opaque camelbak bottle, or stick your camelbak bottle in an opaque bag when you're doing the one minute UV thing. That's what I do now since I lost my all clear bottle.

my previous answer was wrong, I got mixed up with something else I own. The one you asked for is for 750ml

It uses a standard nalgene cap size. I actually use a camelbak eddy cap with mine. It screws on perfectly, you just need to extend the straw with a bit of hose.

Ah, the old Tanker trick. Yes, it will work. I do the same thing for my son, though he learned very young how to get water out of the camelbak

Good question. I have two: the 750ml bottle and the 1000ml (1L) bottle. The 750 fits no problem. The 1L is too fat.

I do not use, and am not personally familiar with, the ILBE Gen 2 Main Pack, but several of the answers to the same question you are asking about this item in its Amazon.com listing says it is compatible with hydration bladders. One even includes the web address for a video on this topic. I would suggest you read through the information about the ILBE Gen 2 Main Pack on Amazon.com. and hope this referral is helpful to you. I use the Condor 3-Day Assault Pack, which can accommodate two (2) Camelbak 100 oz/ 3.0 L hydration bladders. I stopped carrying two hydration bladders in it to reduce the weight of the fully loaded pack, and use the "extra" space in the hydration section to hold one Camelbak 100 oz/ 3.0 L hydration bladder, its cleaning kit, extra in-line charcoal filter cartridges for my Camelbak in-line filter (to remove "funky flavors" from the water), a Sawyer Products Mini-Filter and accessories (to filter out microscopic "critters" in water from "unknown natural" sources when refilling the hydration bladder), a back-up drinking tube (in case my primary drinking tube gets cut or damaged), a LifeStraw personal water filter, and a military personal reverse osmosis water filtration system. All This extra gear weighs a lot less than an additional 3.0 L of water and hydration bladder, and it gives me the ability to safely drink pretty much any water I encounter and safely refill my hydration bladder over and over. As the old philosopher once said, "Show a man how to carry an extra 3.0 liters of water, and you'll get him through the next day. Show him how to make any water he finds safe to drink, and he will have water for the rest of his life". . . . or maybe he was talking about fishing.

Mine is about 25 years old so I can't say for sure, but from what I've read it should be possible. I have a nalgene dromedary bag that I use for base camp and just fill my bladder with it since I don't like having a hydration pack drinking tube flopping around while I'm filling it. My old filter also has rubber tubing coming attached to a now on the bottom of the filter and it looks as though one could modify the new ones the same way (just a suggestion) to make it easier to fill any type of bottle. Hope this helps and happy camping.

mickey, I tried a few sizes... 750ml and 1 liter fit perfect. The 1.5 liters dont fit. I have them in black, dont know if they sell them in other colors... The bigger bottles you can lay on top of the rack... Hope this helps... Good luck!

If the lid is tight, it does not leak. I use the Camelback Chute top (I swapped it out on this bottle), not this bite valve top, so I can't speak to whether or not the bite valve leaks, but I've used camelbak bite valves in the past and they don't leak.

Yes, All bite valves on the CamelBak systems can be replaced. They are rather inexpensive and are easily replaced.

The bit valves and straws are easy to find. The cap is much harder. My son broke the plastic part that holds the bite valve, which meant the whole cap needed to be replaced. I could only find it at the camelbak web site: http://shop.camelbak.com/accessories/replacements/bottle/l/322

No, the surplus one I got was used and had a Camelbak (cheap version) valve put on it. I had an extra valve from my Camelbak Omega (one with a on/off/ cover) that I was replacing that does work OK with the UTA. Buy a new Source (not used) with a Vortex valve - it is way better than the Camelbak and your guarenteed to get the right one.

I would maybe buy a new one.. it could work but I wouldn't chance it. I always drink the full bottle before testing.

A champagne bottle should fit as long as it's not larger that .750 because 1.0 liters do not fit - they are too large. I hope this helps.

Not sure, I only have the Camelbak Eddy Bottle and it fits that one. Sorry couldn't help more!

A standard 750 ml bottle fits perfectly but a skinnier bottle would work as well

I use the Mud cap, it replaces the mouthpiece that comes with the bottle.Camelbak Podium Mud Cap, Blue
