Is it possible to drink water when using the BioPak?
YES! The BioPak can be supplied with an approved Hydration System that permits drinking of liquids WITHOUT removing the facepiece or breaking into the breathing loop. A 1.5-liter exchangeable reservoir is connected to the harness waist belt and a transfer tube extends to a facepiece interface device. The interface device permits the insertion and withdraw of a bite valve into the user’s mouth during use. The reservoir can be replaced during use without inducing breathing loop leaks. The hydration system can be adapted to any BioPak 240R respirator by the user in the field.
