How to Use & Clean the Chill-Its 5054 Hydration Hand Pump

 

How to Use the Chill-Its 5054 Hand Pump:

  1. Attach the hand pump to the Chill-Its 5160 Hydration Pack tubing using the quick-release connection in place of the standard mouthpiece.
  2. Choose the desired attachment, either the spray (mist) tip for cooling or the stream tip for drinking, rinsing or cleaning.
  3. Secure the selected attachment onto the top of the pump until it is firmly in place.
  4. Position the pump holster on your pack strap for easy access, if not already attached.
  5. Squeeze the hand pump to deliver water on demand. Use short presses for misting or steady presses for a stronger stream.
  6. Direct the output as needed for hydration, cooling PPE, rinsing gear or quick cleanup.
  7. After use, release pressure and ensure the pump is not actively dispensing water.
  8. When finished, detach the pump using the quick-release connection and store it in the holster or a clean, dry location.
