How do I use the ClickSip™ Valve?

How to use the ClickSip valve: 1. To Open: Push the tabs forward using your fingers or by biting the valve tip and pulling with your teeth. 2. Let It Breathe: When using ClickSip without the one-way valve attached, ensure that after sipping, you allow the valve to breathe for a moment. This allows water to fall back into the reservoir to prevent small amounts of water from releasing from the valve after closing. 3. To Close: Push the tabs back toward the closed position until the valve tip stops. Paragon’s technology allows you to choose how you sip. Allow water to fall back into the reservoir between sips or connect the one-way valve (included) to keep the water in the hose.

When should I use the One-Way Valve?

The One-Way valve lets you choose whether the drink is readily available or if it will fall back into the hydration reservoir to ensure it remains protected from the elements. 1. Without Valve: Drink falls back into the reservoir and will not freeze or get warm. 2. With Valve: Drink will stay in the hose and remain susceptible to freezing and warm weather conditions. To assemble the One-Way valve, simply remove the ClickSip valve from the hose and install the One-Way valve directly into the hose. After the One-Way valve is installed, you can then place the ClickSip valve onto the One-Way valve.
