Festivalgoers gearing up for EDC Las Vegas 2025 are sharing crucial advice on the r/electricdaisycarnival subreddit: thoroughly clean your CamelBak hydration packs before hitting the desert heat May 15–17. With temps soaring to around 89°F (32°C), staying hydrated is non-negotiable—and so is keeping your hydration gear mold- and funk-free.
Top community tips include:
- Flushing out old water and grime with warm soapy water
- Scrubbing the reservoir, hose, and bite valve carefully
- Freezing bladders before use to prevent mold development
- Machine washing components when possible
- Replacing bladders ahead of time to avoid contamination
- Opting for water bottles or hydropacks without bladders as alternatives
EDC provides free filtered water refill stations across the venue, complete with Electrolit hydration sticks for electrolytes. Attendees are encouraged to hydrate constantly and empty and dry out packs every night to keep everything fresh and safe.
Don’t let a dirty CamelBak spoil your set. Clean hydration gear is key not just for taste and odor, but for your long-term health under the unforgiving desert sun. Prepare smart, stay hydrated, and rave safe.
