I just received one. What is the button for below the mouthpice and above the shut off valve? It seems you can push it in but what does it do?

Judging by the design, those are quick connect release switches. My mil-spec camelbak has those.

The button releases the black rubber drinking straw, and locks it in place. It makes for easier cleaning and replacement.

I would like to know the same thing. I checked really close to see if it is one of those quick release switches, and it does not appear to be for that as it is all one piece of molded plastic. I thought maybe it somehow controlled the flow but when I used it, I would engage the button while drinking and I did not notice any difference in the flow. I would like to get an answer from Condor on what this is for.

Same here - button with no purpose, one piece, etc. I checked out the Condor website and the specs are:- 2.5L water storage - Screw top cap with carry handle- Large bite valve with lid- Flow shut-off switch- Hanger slots for mounting and drying- ImportNo mention of it although it seems to be in the photo. I looked at the Camelbak at a local shop, but didn't buy because that wasn't a major factor in my decision. Bought the Condor on Amazon with no respect to the interchangeability, but noticed the button, so here I am. You can buy the Camelbak "Hydrolink" pieces on Amazon and swap out with existing mouthpiece, but unlikely avg joe could field-modify the condor to accommodate the different bite valves.

I used a small tooth pick to hold the valve open,, rolled up nicely completely deflated, hope this helps (just be careful not to damage the valve, pinch it and look inside, you'll see how it works,,, pinch it, slide the toothpick in and bingo)

BEATS ME, I SENT MINE BACK. I believe the bite valve was straight, as was the place where the tube exits the cap. 'Believe', not sure. I sent mine back, unused, as the tube was too short to be useable.

It is a push button, but the opening to drink from is not large at all. It's just right. And it is super easy to clean.

There is a release button on the bottom of the unit. It took me awhile to figure it out too. How do you like yours so far?

There's a small notch right below the brush head that you're supposed to push/hold down and pull off the brush head. Your tooth brush should have came with a small plastic piece for this that you lay against the tooth brush and press. If you don't have that piece you can use something to push that little notch down. Hope that helps.

I used a dental pick. You simply put the tip of the pick under the black O-Ring and remove it. It improved the flow and function measurably.

This is the batch one so I have to put the stopper in place. It is a safety mechanism. You can get one that uses a switch too if you prefer.

The button is recessed and you have to push down kinda hard. I have one in my hand, I am not worried about it turning on in my pack at all

The button is a momentary contact switch. It only comes on while the button is pressed. By pushing and releasing the button you can operate it as a pulsating vacuum.

Hi Erica. I found the metal handle hard to get up and down but someone said there is a special tool that comes with it which you have to have to get out the blade basket. However, since I had only used mine twice last year, I have forgotten that. Since the plunger was hopelessly stuck in mine, I tossed it in the dumpster and bought a Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro, and love it. It is super easy to clean and I get 2 or 3 times as much juice. Hope you find your answer though!

Hi, It is just a small button behind the water head. You just push it to one side or the other to control the amount of water. I really like this water head. It is easy to install also.

I'm really not sure what your problem with the picture is. The pole screws into the tank. There arte three taps on the pole. Each have a valve that only opens when you screw a device (hose to a stove, a lantern, etc). The shutoff is the main valve at the tank. There is no individual flow control. Did that help?

i can not answer your question because I nave never used one. but I think you press the button and the steam comes out the front of it.

Not sure I understand your question. Do you mean a trigger that you hold? If so, it does not. You have to push in the button for the water to come out the nozzle and then push it back to turn the water off.

After you push the button, you slide it and then pull it put. It should go about a quarter of the way and then lift out. I've not had your issue, but I can't imagine what it would be stuck on in there. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Two out of three that I have bought have done this. I took one apart, and the spring was stuck down. I popped the spring back to normal, and the valve properly works now. You can also test if the valve is not switching off by just blowing air into it with your mouth. If air passes, the spring inside the valve is probably not working.
