The Eligo Spile is an in line hydration unit with a dual fluid mouth piece that eliminates the clean up involved with normal electrolyte tablet or powder systems.
Biting on the first lip on the mouth piece gives you water, while biting down further back allows fluid from the small cartridge and your hydration reservoir to mix.
That’s it. It’s that simple. The replacement hose and mouthpiece work with the majority of hydration reservoirs on the market, which makes this upgrade painless.
Slip past the break to see it in action…
This is what the new mouthpiece looks without it’s cover.
Biting down on the first lip pushes a spring back and allows the water to flow freely.
According to Shane Rogers, Co-Founder and Creator of the device, this water bite valve has the highest flow rate of any mouthpiece currently available.
Biting the back of the mouth piece pulls the valve forward and allows water from your hydration reservoir and the concentrated mixture in the electrolyte cartridge to mix.
For the arm chair engineers in the crowd, here is an exploded diagram of the entire system.
