Can the bladder get mold?

I think it can get mold if not dried well, that happens not only with the water bag backpack, but with everything. It is a matter of knowing clean and let it dry without putting the nozzle to close until this dry well.

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.

I would think so, I've not had a moldy LP so I can't say yes. However the system and cleaner work really well, I'm pretty pleased with the results. The water was filthy after my first 20 cleans!

I have actually started noticing mold a few weeks ago. I use both daily and it took a few months to show up & it's only in the water bowl. They've since stained so I stopped using them

I've had this chair in my bath tub for 8 weeks--no mold. I do wipe it down after use. I would think it as mold resistant as any other chair!

since we use bottled water, we have never had a problem with algae or mold. But we do rinse with a vinegar solution every so often.....

I use the racks once a week and have had them for over a year. I haven't had any problems with mold.

I have used the device continuously for over 6 months and did not have any mold problem. I changed the water every 2 months and cleaned the bucket and the device that sits in the water with soap and water before refilling the bucket. Also, I covered the bucket with black plastic garbage bag so no sunlight could get into the bucket filled with water.

I wouldn't worry about mold on the cord. It will likely snap off from wear like ours did before that can happen.

I have never had mold so I am not sure, I would try using vinegar and water first.

No. We have used this product for the last eight months every day and had no problems with mold.

I have had the same issue with mold. I try getting rid of it best I can, but usually just end up dealing with it and figure it probably won't kill me.

Write to Matt at Geigerrig and ask. My concern with it is the water may contact any glue (assuming you glue a piece of the old bladder on the new one), which may not be so healthy. +1 on the warranty, and the customer service is amazing.

No. I have had them for a few months and have been washing them either by hand or in the dishwasher. No mold problem so far

I can't really answer but will guess some people may have more trouble if they have hard water. One review noted mold or something tends to grow in some spots and must be cleaned regularly or it causes motor issues. I'd guess some people never do that and it burns out the motor.

I had the same thing happen recently. Just make sure you change the water every 3 days, and that should take care of the mold.
