Source Tactical Universal Tube Adapter for Hydration Systems

I really, really like this item. But the cost (almost $20) is a bit excessive. Having said that, Source makes good stuff. So good that it's hard to complain about price too loudly! So good that the company deserves to make whatever profit they can. So why am I complaining about price? Because knock-offs are sure to come and I would like to keep supporting Source; given that most of us have limited resources there may come a time when I can't afford Source and have to go elsewhere. In any event, really nice; really easy to use. Wish Source offered a decent carry case (I wound up using a Condor faux grenade case (which was okay) and another type of case (which was equally only okay)). Great accessory in the hydration department. Just wish it came in at under $15 (at $20 three of these cost me $60! Tell me that's not a bit absurd). 5 stars.

I have to unpack my bag to refill my reservoir while hiking, which is a massive hassle. I picked this up in hopes that it works with my sawyer squeeze. It works perfectly! Zero leaking, easy to use. If feels pretty durable.

I love this thing. It is so practical. Has saved my ass from dehydration multiple times. I have had no problems with it.

It does do what it says it will do, but in small quantities. If filling up from a faucet it takes a long time. Better use for a bottle of water. Honestly, I found it easier to just open the bladder and fill up.

I got this a few months ago and have used it enough to write an honest review. My tubing setup is a combination of one full length tube connected to half the length of a second tube, that is what it took to get the perfect length for me. I use my uta at the joint of the tubing plugging it in and then popping it over the top of the bottle. It takes no effort to get the water flowing after the bottle is lifted up. And when the water starts running the bottle empties fast! When compared to the speed in filling the bladder this way over opening the cap and filling it through the port with the bag under the spigot there is no comparison. On long or hot days the bladder can be filled in just minutes with minimum to no fuss. By the way I am a full time power wheelchair user and carry my full days water supply on the back of my chair with my Source Hydration set up. The uta allows someone to help me to refill it it in like 3 minutes or I can do it myself just taking longer. The Source setup is the best out there I have seen or heard of in the 25 or so years since I got my first hydration pack.

I love this adapter. Works great, diffently buy.

Muy util para rellenar bolsa de hidratacion desde llave de agua o botella

Like most Burning Man participants, I wear a hydration pack most of the time I'm at the event. Last year I found I was running out of water far from my trailer because I didn't take the time to disassemble and refill my pack every time I was in camp. This year I bought a Source reservoir and this fill adapter and was very pleased with the results. I kept the adapter on the faucet and every time I came back to camp even for a minute I could top off my water supply without even having to take off my pack. Also, the fill adapter served double duty as a directional sprayer for the faucet, making it easy to rinse out the sink.

Práctico, muy útil y resistente

Refills the bladder or bottle without disconnecting the system. Excellent.

First off, I am not tactical. But I am practical. The Source Tactical line is very well made. Their bladders are tough, antimicrobial and just work. I've tried so many brands and all of the cheaper ones have been mistakes. Similarly priced ones have held up. BUT! They can't be filled while in a hydropack, pack or pouch. Enter this product. You pop it on where the mouthpiece goes and attach it to a sink, hose end, or for me, water bottle and fill your water bladder while still in your pack. Sounds like no big deal. How hard is it to take your water bladder out of the pack, to unthread the hose through the shoulder strap etc., well, not really that hard. I am all about removing friction and setting up faster, easier systems, so long as I don't compromise utility etc. And this works perfect for that. I have yet to use this for a long backpack/ruck, but that is where the value will shine extra. No need to take the pack off even, just refill on the go. Or pack off, but not take bladder out to refill... huge time and hassle savings. Note - when the bladder gets full, the accordion grooves on this expand and you need to stop filling. Not a problem for gravity feed from a bottle, but pressure feed from a tap and it will start to leak as the water needs to go somewhere.

This is great as doesn't rely on the bottle threads so is compatible with any bottle. Perhaps a bit expensive but it's a great design.

Funciona, buen calidad
