Have experienced water getting between the bladder and canvas at the rope connection. Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?

Sounds like you have a defective one. I have never had a single problem with model. I would call the company and get a replacement.

I'm not sure where the water gets in but it does get in between the cover and the bladder. Not a big deal though. When I pull the tube back on board there is always a few gallons inside. I have to hold it on the swim platform to allow the water to drain.

No but you can't pull slow or it nose dives. Once you get it on top of the water it is a lot of fun.

I would recommend to not hang the bladder by itself when it is full of liquid. I would recommend to carry the bladder inside a small backpack, then hang it from your recumbent. Without insulation, your liquid will get warm/hot in the direct sun, not a good idea.

there is a plastic insert in the hose which regulates the flow of the water . maybe it has something blocking the flow . take that plastic insert out . maybe that might fix your problem

To answer your question, I tried a little experiment. I took a clean dry pad and slowly added water. 1/6th cup of water seemed to be the point where it overflowed the edges. These are great for leakage and smaller amounts of liquid. I would try a larger size product for heavy incontinence.

Not really sure. never had that problem. even before i bought a bow, it takes the slack out, keeps water from pooling and stops flapping. Are you sure you have the right channel?

If you have the water discharge connect to a external pipe, then the connection was loose. This will be the best guess from me.

Mine has given me no problem at all and it gets wet a lot. For the price a guy could have a couple on hand!

I've had my reel for 3 years and experienced no problems with the connection. This past year I left my hose and reel outside all winter, (drained all the water of course). Of course it all depends on if you're one of those persons who repeatedly unwinds the reel fully and then trys to pull a few more inches off of your hose! It's just not going to do that! The connection is durable but won't take constant abuse. I added a 3 foot section of hose to the original 3 foot and zip-tied the hose at the connection end to the reel frame. I still have the flexibility to move the reel but there is no strain on the connection. I'm on my 4th year and no leaks. I've had my reel for 3 years and experienced no problems with the connection.

No I have the same problem! It appears to be a flaw that they did not attempt to fix. I did take a pair of plyers (water pumps) and snuged it up and that does hold some what better.

Hi- I have not tried a bladder in here, I would guess the water would drop to the bottom and out-- I want you to know there is not a ton of space in here for more than your camera equipment and a sweat shirt-- I have out my Macbook air down inside by the back, which is cool. good luck

I havent had that problem. Maybe you can find a large washer from your local hardware store and put those on the inside of the knot and it might prevent it from coming out of the loops.

I did not have the difficulty you are having. I simply held it under my right arm tightly and twisted with my left hand. It came out right away. If you have already tried that, then I am not sure what will help. What about submerging it in water?

Mine was doing the same thing. The problem on mine was the knot where the rope was tied to the chain was hanging on the shut off bar in the anchor saddle. I put a fender washer on the rope behind the knot to prevent the knot from going through the shutoff bar.

We haven't had this problem yet but I could see how the plastic cam clip could deform or not hold. Just a guess but maybe there is too much material between the clip and the sensor. I did notice that it wouldn't clip tight once because I had too much of my son's undies in the clip. Maybe try cloth athletic tape or different attachment points. Or use a thin piece of cloth to clip on to where the moisture would wick to the sensor. Hard to say. Hope this helps

Its just like any Camelbak or other bladder. Best advice is to empty it, and if it's going to sit for a while, roll up some paper towels to keep the mouth open and "wick" the moisture out.
