Learn how to replace a HydraPak tube magnet in a few simple steps. Keep your hydration tube secure and easily accessible while riding or running.
Quick answer
To replace a HydraPak tube magnet, simply detach the old magnet from the tube, snap the new magnet set in place, and ensure it's secure. The magnet attaches to the tube and a corresponding magnet on your strap or jersey, keeping your hydration tube within easy reach.
Why replace a tube magnet?
Over time, the magnet on your hydration tube may lose its grip, get lost, or become damaged. A secure tube magnet ensures your hydration tube stays put when you're moving, so you can grab it quickly without fumbling. Replacing it is a simple maintenance task that keeps your gear working as intended.
Compatibility note
The HydraPak tube magnet is designed to fit standard hydration tubes. However, it will not fit insulated tube sets because the larger outside diameter prevents a proper fit. Before purchasing a replacement, check your tube's diameter to ensure compatibility.
How to replace your HydraPak tube magnet
- Remove the old magnet: Locate the magnet on your hydration tube. Gently pull it off. If it's attached with adhesive, use a bit of warm water to soften it. Check the tube for any residue and clean it if needed. Make sure the tube surface is clean and dry before proceeding.
- Position the new magnet: Take the new magnet set and align it with the tube. The magnet should sit flat against the tube, with the magnetic side facing outward. Press firmly to ensure it snaps into place. Double-check that the magnet is oriented correctly—the side that attaches to the strap should be the one that connects.
- Test the attachment: Attach the corresponding magnet to your strap or jersey. Then, bring the tube magnet close to it. It should click into place securely. Give it a gentle tug to confirm it holds. If it doesn't hold firmly, reposition the magnet and test again.
