Maybe I should have done so more. The REI/Campmor simple pillow sacks don't need any of that...the water tastes good right away and surprisingly okay even after being left with some in it for a few weeks. I have not had puncture or leaks with the valve in mine. They are from Campmor, if that makes a difference...I suspect they are from the same source with different house logos. ralph diaz *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
