I don't think you can. I soak mine in a little bit of bleach with warm water for a few hours.

the old one just pulls out. You may have to use a bit of force to get it out. You may be able to get the valve out first and then the rubber part. To install the new one, just push it into place. Quite easy once you get the old piece out

That special removal tool that you would need is actually visible in the picture of this valve. It is a "C" shaped ring that is next to the copper-colored end and can be slipped on & off from the side. This will be as easy to remove as it was to install, but I doubt that I'll ever have to remove it.

To keep the valve from sticking, remove the filter from your faucet first. Unscrew the cartridge and blow any water out of the valve pin area, dry with a paper towel. Using a wooden toothpick, apply a small amount of grease down into the valve pin area, while pulling and rotating the valve to work grease in. Doesn't take much, don't overdo it. Wipe any excess away with a Q-tip. Valve now moves freely. Re-install cartridge and install back on faucet.

I mostly just rinse it out real good now and then. I know they make a cleaning solution for them, but I've never it. If you're only filling it with clean tap or purified water I would just occassionly put some clean water and a small amount of household bleach, like 1/4tsp. at most and swish it around real good, squeeze some out thru the tube and bite valve and then thoroughly rinse it, and you should be good to go.

Simply blow some air into the tube just so it has some form. Remove one tire bead from the rim. Insert tube, remembering to locate the valve by the valve hole in the rim (remove old valve from rim). Stuf the tube in to the tire and remount th bead. Fill it up and you good to go.

Save yourself some money and just replace the black rubber water valve. Carefully remove the old one. To replace the new one (which will not come with instructions) put a little soap around the rim and it will pop in with little effort.

For me no trick really. I just run water through it, then dump it in a dink full of soapy water, I have a small brush that looks like a toilet bowl cleaner to get all the crevices.

They can be removed if you pull hard enough, but to clean the inside of the bite valve you will need to squeeze the bottom half of the bladder for the cleanser from the bladder to go through the tube in the inside of the valve.

the metal parts, 2 tubings and round disc, are soldered together and can be separated from the rubber. just insert a flat screw drawer between the rubber and round disc, and slowly separate and slide the metal parts from the black rubber. after washing the metal parts in the dish washer and slide back into the rubber.

Let it soak in window cleaning mixture about 5.min (household spray bottles are fine) and then use plastic scrapers (plastic razor blades) to remove it

There is a tab on the rubber portion of the cup that allows for easy removal.

I make sure the water is turned off and spray the hose until the water pressure is gone. Push forward on the connector and at the same time pull back on the connector release. Using both hand will make it easier to remove.

I also used a pipe cleaner (the kind with a few metal strands also works best), to stick in the folding plastic part (not the bite valve). As this gets gunked up also. If you take the long plastic straw off, you can actually get the pipe cleaner all the way through, and you can pull it back and forth. I love this bottle also, but it is something you need to keep up with the cleaning on.

There is a small plastic cap, mine was yellow or green (can't remember) that is screwed onto the valve assembly. It is where you screw on one of the plastic nozzles. The valve can be pushed through to the inside of the cap so you can clean it. As no nozzle is attached when it is shipped, they put a transportation lock on the valve to prevent it from falling into the unit.

Try taking the bottom off and clean the rubber gasket in soap and water. Then reassemble and use a little olive oil on the gasket

Take the outer rubber portion off and use a small flat head screw driver to pry open the middle of the plastic where they meet.
