I soak mine once a week for 20 minutes as instructed on the enclosed card, but after a few months after a soak it falls apart. Under or over water?

It says on the card that the plant need to be completely dried off within 4 hours of soaking. I soak mine for an hour once a week, and I make sure I flick off any water that might be trapped in between the spikes by giving them a few good shakes. They are doing fine.

in the water but make sure the roots can dry they will rot if you don'tjust place them on paper towels to dry. hey like air circulation too. Hope this helps.

I think you are over watering them. Soak mine every two to three weeks (30 minutes) and spray with water between soaks if necessary. They are all placed in a window where they get indirect light. It sounds like yours are rotting so make sure there is some air circulation for your plants. P.S. I live in a very hot summer and cold winter climate. Of course I will cut back on watering in the winter. Good luck!

I usually soak mine for about an hour once a week. Mine seem to be doing pretty well

I don't really know, but a coworker of mine had that problem. He thinks it was because after his shower he would shake it from an end to get water drops off. I haven't had any problem with mine and I have worn it pretty much constantly for 8 months now.

Yes, a little water gets in between the layers. I bring an old towel and swab out a bit after a partial deflation. That solves the problem.

Yes, the same thing happened with mine. I make sure to dry it properly after each use and store it away from abnormal moisture. I got two good years out of it before it seized up, though.

Good luck. If you scrub or soak in hat water it falls apart. Only lasted maybe 4 uses.

I have the purple one, never shows dirt. I will say this, after only having this a few months the strap already broke off. I love it though, still using it without strap - but really prefer it with the strap. Going to buy another one, but this time going to get one with strap on other end so cards don't fall out.

The card has its own fan to cool it. You never mix water with electroincs. The card is broken. Sorry

Don't worry. It's not defective. They just get that way when they dry. Soak it again and it will be just as durable as before. When you travel with it, to keep it from getting dry and hard again, roll it up and keep it in the tube it came in.

I have had it wet a couple of times with no trouble. I would send it back for a replacement

ive used it heavily and it's still clear for me, about two months now with semi-daily use. id say just avoid getting it too dirty and DONT submerge it in water to clean.

Our charge controller is mounted inside a storage locker so it stays dry. Once the panel had been in service for a few days, I taped some plastic over the electronics area on the underside of the panel to help keep water out. Months later I added a bead of clear caulk around the frame, for the same reason. Figured it couldn't hurt.

I had an old one that lasted 20 years. These new ones don't last anywhere near that. I use mine on e a week every week so we will see. My friends have had them that never work right and don't hold up. New cards help the situation. The rubber treads wear out faster these days. I think it is the luck of the draw.

mine go for 2 months, maybe a week or two less if water is not as soft. it starts to get kind of dirty smelling after that ive found. it could go for 3 months probably for someone else, i could see that.

It jams sometimes, but it doesn't damage cards. It seems to be jamming more often lately. Any suggestions on how to prevent jamming?

I haven't had that problem. Mine works fine and I've had it quite a while now. Are you blowing the water that gets in out the top? I don't dive down with it; I just swim laps.

I haven't worried about it but when the card is dry I remove it from the outlet and store elsewhere. I love using peppermint. Love the refreshig scent. I own 3 of these and gave some for christmas gifts.

I haven't seen any water spots inside the tray. I put the credit card, key and the money in a sealed sandwich bag before I put them in the tray. There is a rubber seal around the edge of the drawer where it slides into the insert which should keep most of the moisture out. My suggestion it to not put any papers in it that need guaranteed moisture protection.
