My main concern is "not leaking". I've tried many googles and the chlorine finds a way to get inside. How good is this feature? Thank you.

I've pwned these for over a year and traveled with them to at least 3 countries. Used them in fresh water rivers/lakes and the sea. No issues with leaking as of yet.

I swim three times a week in an outdoor heated pool. I used to use the Aqua Sphere Kayenne goggles but found they would leak after about a year of use. I switched to the Kaiman goggles and have used them for over a year with no leaks. I do make sure to rinse them off in cold fresh water after every use and let them air dry thoroughly and that seems to help. I've found the Kaiman goggles to be very comfortable.

All goggles leak from my experience...the only question is when. Or the lenses get all gooey and filmy and therefore are worthless. So there is a dance between which will fail first. I swim everyday so goggles last me only a month or so. The larger aqua sphere goggles leak the fastest as they have more rubber surface to potentially get exposed to the elements and deteriorate. The smaller goggles, as these are are comparable to Speedos and TYRs

Yes. This does not leak. However I noticed that after 2-3 months it starts leaking unless you clean the the goggles suction after every use. I had this problem with my first goggle. For the second one I am not seeing this problem. Probably because I am cleaning this thoroughly after every use. Do not use any lens cleaning liquid. This blurr the vision for this lens.

When adding chlorine, when replacing the cap, do not over tighten. Just bring cap down till it stops. Don't tighten down. Works for me...

I used it late last season to chlorinate a 20 x 40 pool after performing a pool renovation. It worked fine for me, though I couldn't test it through the hottest dog days of summer when the sun eats up chlorine at peak rates. However, I did observe the flow rates through the feeder before loading it with chlorine. I'd say the flow rate was far better than any suction type chlorinator that I'd used in the past. In my experience, the flow rate is key because the container will hold plenty of tablets to cover an 18 x 36 pool. You need the flow rate to dissolve the tablets fast enough. In general, I was impressed with the quality of construction and the inclusion of all fittings for installation. I think it will serve your needs. You will need two hands when operating the latch and removing the lid, but it's not much different from other "name brand" chlorinators I've used. I don't consider it unsafe, but always open slowly and avoid direct inhalation around ANY chlorinator.

I personally use the 3" tablets, although I have used the pellets as well and it has worked great as long as it is ran at least once daily. If it sits unused too long the diluted chlorine will form a sort mud and can clog the little output pipes inside the unit. What I do is take all tables out and run it empty for about 30 minutes to purge it out before going on vacation.WARNING: When you open the lid keep your face away from the opening as you remove the lid....I learned it the hard way, my eyes burned for about 30 minutes and I had the taste of Chlorine in my mouth for about an hour, not to mention the initial discomfort of breathing the fumes !!!Good luck and enjoy....Another pool owner I personally use the 3" tablets, although I have used the pellets as well and it has worked great as long as it is ran at least once daily.

I had no leaking problems. Just make sure lid is on tight and button closed

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.

First of all the lid doesn't have an airtight seal. This thing works great, I was surprised. As long as you follow the directions on where to put the inlet hose on the downspout, you won't have any problems. When you open the faucet and let water out, it gets air in thru the downspout, allowing the water to flow out of barrel. I replaced the cheap faucet with a brass one, though I probably didn't have to. Are only problem is we've had some rain lately and haven't been using the water out of the barrel. I repeat you don't have a closed system because when you open faucet air comes in thru downspout. Good Luck. I need to buy a couple of more of these. State gave me $1 a gallon rebate.

I've been using Nalgene Cantenes for 10 years now, never had one leak. I popped one, but that was my own fault, sat on it in my pack while it was half full of water.

I've had mine several months now and use it almost daily. Never had any problem with it leaking.

No that is the best feature. You have to squeeze a know before the liquid is released. I haven't had not one mishap.

I have not had an issue with leaking yet. Have been using one for about a two weeks so sorry will know more in a month or so.

Yes it stays very tight and does not leak!! I love mine. I have one at work and one at home. Use them everyday!

The only way that you are going to have a leak is if you do something to the unit like modding it. All in one units are stringently tested to make sure they will not leak, otherwise they wouldn't be placing this item on the market. Like most coolants used this is more than likely distilled water which has zero conductivity. I hope this answers your questions.

Inga, I have used 3 styles of female adapters for urinals and they have all worked best by holding the edges of the adapter firmly against my body, no matter how far it reaches underneath. If it's firm against me then it forms a seal so that urine does not leak out around the edges. If I am releasing a forceful stream from a full bladder I might feel some wetness on my skin inside the funnel but it goes down the hole into the bottle fast enough so I do not experience leakage around the outside edges. I hope this information is helpful.

and mine doesnt leak either. it says right on it if you put too much water in it past the line it will leak. read the directions i say. it is an awesome product

I have never had any problems with this. I'm always on the go and toss mine around quote a bit in drawers, bags, every which way, you name it, and have never had any leakage issues.

Peter: As I am not a chemist and given the importance of what type of material potable water will be flowing through, I would strongly recommend contacting Gilmour directly. I am sure they would be more than willing to insure your drinking water safety by advising exactly what material the connectors are made of. I can tell you that I own a couple of pair of these fittings and they work flawlessly. I am using them on a 3/4" garden hose into a 3100 psi power washer and to which the added flow has made a significant performance difference. No issues what-so-ever.
