MSR never disappoints...
Great for backpacking with your dog, much easier than using a pump to fill multiple bladders and bottles.

Missing a drying component
The brushes work great, The problem is, the hose and bladder take many days to dry, and in the meantime, the remaining water gets funky, so I haven't solved the funk problem. If you guys could add in similar tools with sponges instead of brushes, that would solve the problem. I would consider changing to a bladder than has an opening that I can get my hand inside of, but I only like the plastic that platy uses - it doesn't taste like anything. Thank you!

Good to have to maintain sanitary filtration system.
Works well especially on dirty water reservoir.

Does what it says it will do, without guidance
I'm posting this review as I, too, was frustrated by the lack of instructions. The bigger brush is self-explanatory. Open up the main reservoir, add soap and swish the brush around to get into the crevices and the like. To clean the plastic drinking tube, first you detach it from the reservoir. Next you remove the gray elbow piece that used to connect to your reservoir from the plastic tube. This takes a little trial and error. I have found that twisting the piece while holding the tube stationary works. I wasn't able to remove the whole mouth piece on the other end. I could only remove the elbow. String the smaller brush through the plastic tube to clean. Also, you can remove the plastic bite piece (the part that actually goes into your mouth) from the rest of the bite area by pulling on it towards you. Use the small brush to clean the bite hole one the bite piece. You can't remove the rest of the mouth piece from the plastic tube though.
Since this effectively cleans the reservoir better than I could without it, I am giving this product four stars. The removed star was due to the lack of instructions.

Just What I Needed
I have been wanting to pick up one of these cleaning kits for a while. It's just what I needed to give my hydration bladders and tubing a thorough cleaning.

Platypus cleaning kit
This kit is indispensable for keeping a hoser reservoir and its hose clean.

I'm surprised this kit didn't cost more. Not that it should, but it's one of those kits that companies could charge $20+ for.
I used it on a Hoser 3L tonight that started smelling mildewy after not being used for a month or two.
The brushes are soft enough to not damage the bladder while scrubbing vigorously and stiff enough to remove all gunk and mold by brushing up and down and by spinning for a couple minutes. It reaches every crevis, and it was easy as can be to use.
Thanks go to Platypus for making an inexpensive, efficient, and effective kit to clean just about any brand or size of bladder. It also works for narrow necked Nalgene style water bottles and many other bladders and bottles.
Buy it. You need one.
