Full details
The BBB CompTank is a high-performance 550ml water bottle engineered specifically for cyclists and athletes who demand reliable hydration on the go.

FAQs
Is the BBB CompTank dishwasher safe?
Yes, the bottle is dishwasher safe, making it easy to keep clean and hygienic.
Is this bottle BPA-free?
Absolutely. The CompTank is manufactured using BPA-free materials to ensure safe drinking water.
Can I use the bottle for energy drinks?
Yes, the wide opening makes it easy to add electrolyte powders or sports mixes, though we recommend rinsing it promptly after use.
What is the total weight of the bottle?
The black version of the CompTank weighs approximately 66 grams.
How does the SoftLock valve work?
The valve uses a rotating collar that locks the flow mechanism to prevent leaks when not in use.
Will this fit in my standard bike cage?
Yes, the CompTank is designed to fit standard cycling bottle cages found on most road, mountain, and hybrid bikes.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is leaking from the nozzle
Verify that the rotation lock is fully closed and check for any debris trapped in the SoftLock valve mechanism.
Bottle feels difficult to squeeze
Ensure the cap is not screwed on too tightly, which can sometimes cause air pressure issues; slightly loosening and re-tightening often resolves this.
Strange taste or odor inside
Perform a deep clean with warm water and a mild detergent, or soak briefly in a water and baking soda solution before rinsing thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your CompTank is straightforward: rinse the bottle thoroughly before the first use. To care for your bottle, place it on the top rack of your dishwasher or wash by hand with warm, soapy water and a bottle brush. When closing the bottle, ensure the valve is fully seated to prevent any residual drips. The bottle is compatible with almost all standard cycling bottle cages and fits securely without rattling. Avoid using highly corrosive cleaning agents that may degrade the plastic over time.
