I saw a comment about the bladder not filling out the outer cover very well. Was this just a faulty one, or one tht was not inflated fully?

It did not fill up enough we are going to have to cut and sew the cover for it to fit right

If you use an electric inflator for air mattresses it will only inflate so far. Those types of inflators don't have enough force. The instructions say not to use a commercial air system such as an air compressor because they are too strong. According to the instructions one should use a foot or hand operated, manual pump to completly inflate the ball. I used an air mattress pump to the point it stopped adding additional air and then completed the process with a $3.00 foot pump. It worked beautifully and completely filled the bladder to the outer cover. Hope this helps. Our youth love it!!!

over time I have switched to other bladders. My favorite right now is http://www.geigerrig.com/. I have tried Camelbaks and Platypus bags but I find the geigerrig's ability to turn inside out the easiest to clean and keep dry. The problem with the sawyer bags are they are hard to keep clean and the handles/small hole at the bottom tear under full weight of water (or maybe a bit more if you hang it wrong) so they become (imo) worthless. If I had to do it all over again, i would just order the filter and make my own system with it. Just my .02

Same thing happened to mine . . . took it apart and let it air out -- no success! I think there's a flaw in the design because it should be waterproof or not able to get water in it all . . . this thing is terrible!

I had one but it would not stay inflated and I sent it back. I purchased another brand that seems to be made better

It is the fabric covered/bonded to the air bladder inside. If you cleaned it with fluid, you would have to wait for it to dry.

Hey adjuster Jim, I have the same problem. I have an Everlast 4210 speedbag that all of sudden starting leaking, so I started looking online for a replacement. One guys review said he repaired the leak. That's what I'm going to attempt with some "Green Slime" or "Fix-a-Flat" or maybe a bicycle tube repair kit. Sorry I couldn't give you an answer on the Title replacement bladder. If my attempts at fixing the leak are unsuccessful, I'll be looking again.

The bladder in mine is too small, 8lbs psi still does'nt look like the advertised picture aymore it will burst.

I've had three and never had that problem. Mine all seem very tight and well crafted. Sounds like you got a defective one.

So far ours is not leaking. That said it was only installed 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up about this potential issue. I'll keep an eye on it and update my review if it becomes a problem.

Mine stays inflated with no problem. Check to make sure the plastic "plug" that came with it is pushed in all the way.

Sounds like you need to check the air pressure in your pressure tank/system - most likely the problem - not the pressure switch. The old tanks get waterlogged -not enough air space so need to be drained back - the new bladder tanks seep pressure and need to checked/charged just like a low tire. Hope this helps

By any standard, that is NOT normal... But it seems to be normal for this one. Tried to return but return but it was too late. Covered twice with tight cover but no win for leaking down balls. My advice? Return if u can....

Mine leaked air when I first bought it...I took it apart, polished the inside of the reservoir and replaced the O-rings...after that, it would hold air indefinitely...

You know, that is really strange. Mine was fully expanded within the hour.I just cut open the plastic slowly and let it decompress. It was really quick. I'm afraid you may have a defective one. Also it has been pretty cold, that may have something to do with it. Yeah, ours had no scent at all ,I could'nt be happier. Let me know what happens, I was planning on purchasing another one. Good luck. Manuel

I haven't had this problem. Have you tried tightening it to see if that helps? I remember at least one other reviewer had the same problem. Once he/she tightened it, it no longer leaked. Hope that helps

Haaahaaaahaaa - yes, that happened to me as well (for all my friends to see and enjoy). It has a pretty tight seal, which is great. I think the pressure comes from an increase in temperature (as the air is expanding) -or- could be from the septic breaking down and bacteria growing (probably not, because we only use ours for urine). In any event, I think the answer is to open sloooooowly. Happy Trails.

I've never had a problem with it, if I empty it by 12 hours. Usually I empty it in the morning and then when I get home from work (don't have to do it public!) It's great. I start to spot if I've left it too long on a heavy day, and then I empty it, and it's no problem. I've never had it overflow where it was a problem. I usually use a pantyliner on my heavier days, just in case, but on the normal/light days, I don't need even that.
