All right. Here we are at the Snowbasin. We are up here to talk a
little bit about how to
rapidly depressurize your pack and fine tune depressurization. As you
can see this is a pack
and the tube comes out for your pressure valve and goes out into the
pressure valve
holder. Okay? On a Geigerrig Hydration Engine, as you can see this is
it and here is the tube
at the end of the tube right here. And I pressurize the pack. And the
amount of pressure
that I am putting in here will drain in its entire hydration engine. I
got to make sure my fine
tuner is closed. And there it is. That is pressurized. That will drain
the entire pack. Now if I
want rapidly depressurize my pack, before taking the slider top off to
refill or anything like
that or to clean my hydration engine, I just pop this off the end and
on the pack it would be
pop it off right here, just give a little push and that is all the air
is back out and thehydration
engine is no longer is pressurized. Addtionally, when my hydration
engine is pressurized
and I am up hiking on the mountain or I am up on that gondola and I am
up skiing or I am up
on a ride up on this hills and as I gain elevation, the pressure in
this hydration engine
changes. So I might want to fine tune adjust a little of the pressure
out and all I do is just
find lift my fine tune adjuster, tight it back up and let that little
of the pressure up. So
absically there is two forms of depressurization. There is fine tuning
depressurization and
then there is rapid depressurization. And everytime you empty your
reservoir to clean it or
to refill it, you have to depressurize with the rapid epressurization.
Just pop it off the end.
Push the air up and it comes in there. On your pack, it is right here.
You just pop it off, give a
little push and depressurizes, pull this out and you are off on
running. That is all is done.
