FAQ

  • SERVOGARD™ is a proprietary compound permanently embedded in the plastic that can delay the appearance and growth of mold and fungus for 10-35 days.

    It was developed for the food industry and is safe for drinking. It adds no taste or flavor to your water.

    It will last the lifetime of your bottle and does not need to be renewed or reapplied.

  • An occasional hot water rinse is usually all you need to keep your MODCAN or CCAL smelling fresh.

    While a good soapy wash is recommended every now and then, your MODCAN or CCAL won’t smell like mold or mildew with normal use.

    Adding electrolytes may require an occasional scrub with a bottle brush if sugars or other particles from additives build up inside.

    The MODCAN and CCAL are dishwasher safe.

  • Very tough! They exceed all MIL-C-43103 or MIL-C-51278 standards.

    You can watch us smash a complete MODCAN on rock repeatedly here.

  • You will need to add the Type A or Type M cap that came with your specific mask. It varies by manufacturer.

    For an easy visual guide, please see the diagram here.

    Your gas mask water tube will NOT connect to a standard closure cap (CCAL) or QUICKSHOT cap (MODCAN) without first adding the cap that came with your mask.

    The narrow threads on your MODCAN, CCAL, or QAL are compatible with Avon Water Canteen Caps (8465-01-529-9800), Mira Canteen Caps, Dräger Canteen Caps, and Nato M40 gas masks.

  • As a company, we’ve invested heavily in American technology, design, and manufacturing to create something that’s truly one-of-a-kind — a process that has already required a significant investment.

    You work hard for your money, and we aim to provide a product that is full of features and worth every cent.

    It’s difficult to create a bottle that does more than anything else on the market, is 100% made in the USA, and is also affordable. We want to give you the best bottle we possibly can.

  • Yes. It will turn your wide mouth Nalgene into a narrow mouth and allow for the addition of a customer-supplied gas mask cap.

    See here for an example.

  • Yes, high-quality vinyl stickers with a little stretch are recommended when customizing your MODCAN.

  • No, it is currently a dust cover that is not load-bearing.

    An updated design is currently in development.

  • Yes, you can add boiling water, the MODCAN bottle will just become a little soft.

    As always, never boil water directly in a MODCAN over an open flame.

  • No, our virgin HDPE #2 plastic will not leach any chemicals over time and is free from BPA, BPS, PFAS, and phthalates.

  • The MODCAN and CCAL are made from HDPE #2 which generates significantly less microplastics during shredding than other plastics like polycarbonate (PC) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

    Single-use, disposable water bottles made from PET plastic are one of the primary culprits of microplastics in our bodies (specifically the caps being screwed on and off).

    Future filter products may be available for those concerned about microplastics.
