A drying apparatus [10] for a personal hydration system [20] is disclosed. The drying apparatus [10] comprises an enclosure [30] that includes a base portion [40] and a neck portion [60]. The base portion [40] includes at least one air inlet opening [50] and is adapted for contacting a support surface [15]. The neck portion [60] is in fluid communication with the base portion [40] and includes an open distal end [70]. An air blowing means [80] is fixed within the base portion [40] and moves air [85] from outside of the enclosure [30], through the air inlet opening [50] of the base portion [40], through the neck portion [60], and out of the open distal end [70] thereof. An air heating means [170] is further included fixed within the enclosure [30] for heating the air [85] in the enclosure [30]. Preferably the air blowing means [80] and the air heating means [170] are electrically connected through a switch means[180] and a controller circuit [200] to a power source [190]. The neck portion [60] further includes at least one removable aperture adapter [90] for temporary frictional engagement with both the open distal end [70] of the neck portion [60] and an aperture [23] of the hydration system [20]. As such, airflow may be directed into a hydration system reservoir [22] when the hydration system [20] is fixed to the aperture adapter [90] of the drying apparatus [10]. The controller circuit [200] causes the air blowing means [80] and the air heating means [170] to cycle repeatedly to facilitate drying of the hydration system [20].
