Does the tube disconnect from the bladder so you remove just the bladder for refilling and not have ot remove the entire tube from your pack?

Angus is correct. Should you not remove from pack and disconnect the tube then you're gona loose all your precious water (all over your gear). Also, something I thought I might note here is that disconeccting that tube too much can be risky. I have disconnected mine several times since Ive had it (bout a year) and the llast few times it seems I am having some leakage issues. I don't know if maybe my tube was shody from the get go and got worse over time of cleaning the disconnected tube but something hasnt been right and its kinda bothering me about the bladder. Im not going to say Im upset yet, but disconcerted. Hopefully it is a simple manufacturer flaw that so many items are destined to have from time to time (u know...one bad product of an entire great batch kinda thhing) so I'm hoping that BC.com will replace the one I have to try and remedy this problem...My pack has soaked through twice already and that stinks. At first I thought maybe I forgot to turn on my ergo lock and the bite vavle got cramped up under the pack, but it doesn't seem to be the issue at all. Great bladder tho and Im totally not bashing Camelbak but thought I'd reitterate what has already been said bout the spilling water by detatching hose and be cautious of disconnecting too much for cleaning and all. Once again, I may have just got a bad one.

Yes, but it's easier to just pull it out of the pack a little bit and leave the tube connected. Plus, if the tube is disconnected it'll all just spill everywhere when you fill it.
