I've never "washed" either of my camelbak bladders but I have only ever put fresh water in them. Will rinse/flush the bladder and hose/bite valve with fresh water a couple times if it's been sitting for a while.

Have not experienced any taste change when freezing it. I suspect those who get an odd taste when freezing or adding ice cube are experiencing flavours from the freezer itself.
