Camelback Bladder - Repair ?

theshrew

Ive only used the bladder a few times and its now got a hole in it. Can i repair it with a puncture repair thingy or part of a inner tube or something ?

Anyone done this or anything like it ? Does it work ?

A new bladder isn't expensive and IIRC they come with a lifetime warranty (?)

My Mule I got a Christmas has the same issue. Only 2 months use and there appears to be a minuscule hole somewhere on the back of it. I can't find/see it but I've had the bladder in a bucket the last few days and the water has very, very slowly seeped out. Homers is right, they have a lifetime warranty so ill be taking mine back to get it replaced, no quibbles necessary!

Mine is my own fault. I keep it in the freezer so it's sterile wen I use it but forgot to take it out last night. In a bit of a rush this morning I chucked it in the microwave for a few seconds - put it in for a few seconds to long and melted a little tiny bit :-( - Dip stick

Doh :oops:

Guess you won't be doing that again - I put mine in the freezer with the lid open, then if I'm rushing just put some warm water in first & it quickly gets things back to normal.

Fill it with air then put it in a bucket of water to find the hole.

Sure the tube's tightened up properly?

i patched mine 3 or so years back with a puncture repair patch, been fine since, only time its leaked on me is when i havent tightened the top up enough! ;-)
