Baby bottle cleaning tablets and warm water, few in and leave the lid off. After a few flushes of clean water the bleach smell will go.  Tesco own brand are the best.

denture cleaning tabs are also good and leave a better taste.

The water tastes  fine till you boil it and then its a taste of plastic

It was just water and  fairy . There is a undrinkable taste after boiling . Looked at the pans and its not them. There is a hint of chlorine come to mention.

I have an osprey bladder pack which can easily be broken down for better cleaning,like others I mainly use denture tablets but on occasions I have used a small amount of bleach and allowed all the parts to soak overnight ensuring then get a good cleaning

Milton has always worked fine for me.
Dizzolve a tablet into the main bladder, draw some in to fill the tube and leave for 15 mins then empty.
