I did fiddle with the preload and noticed no difference.

Definetely empty the camelbak after each use. Infact what i do is empty it and then wrap it up and put it in the freezer. I've kept water in there before to just empty it out and put more water in. Very bad combo. I've gotten sicker than hell from bad water and it isn't fun (especially when it hits you in the middle of the ride about 6miles from anything).

Thanks for the advice, I am going to put mine in the freezer of my mini fridge right now. Seems like a great way to slow/cease bacteria.
