Is the rubber permeable to allow water to seep down through the ring?

Yes, we have had them in place now for a couple of years on our citrus trees.and only to top sprinkler type watering with no problems. We get a bumper crop each year.

No, The water will not go through the ring but it does run down the tree trunk and does allow water to reach below. This works great and keeps the grass away from the base of the tree so it is very easy to drive the mower around without having to trim. We do have to pull a weed or two around the inner circle about once a year. I would recommend this to other buyers. Actually after we received our first order, we ordered more of them for other trees.

Yes it does although if you are watering it directly from a hose it will not soak through that fast.

They do have a rubber ring. I believe the ring is there to provide a place to grip the fitting when attaching it to the threaded hose end.

It's a possibility, it's not an air tight seal around the top parts, water could seep in pretty easily if it's enough water, I think.

O ring. There is a pressure relief valve for flying so i wouldnt call it waterproof but close to it.

As you see, there are 3 rings with different colors, and each ring has a inflatable bottom. At the bottom side, there is a hole which allows water go out. It looks like inflatable bottom but no air for bottom layer.

Yes, to let water out, breathability...and yes, water could get in. I would suggest not setting it down in standing water or where water would accumulate if possible.

Yes, I water tested it when I first got it and there was no water seepage at all

Yes. I would suggest turning the keyhole downward to avoid water getting into it. Mine have held up fine through a a full season so far.

Yes, it comes with a protective ring. I've had mine for quite a while and no problems with leaking.

It is about 3/4 in. thick, it does have holes and it does not absorb water. It feels like rubber.

Yes, it has several holes throughout to let rain water enter. Just to be clear, what I got is a solar cover that lays directly on the water.

We have never had water get inside of it and it is plastic, but I don't know if waterproof is the proper term. It is impermeable though.

As best as I can tell, no. I tested with a small amount of water and it didn't leak through.

I don't think so, this is just a rubber protector and conditioner. It helps to keep rubber from drying out. Sounds like you might be beyond that. But you might give it a try if the leak is not to bad.

Hi Jim, No, it's soft rubber. after you drill the hole , fold the edge of the rubber piece and stuff it in the drilled hole. the rest just screws in place. I have over 20 rain barrels and most use this connection. I highly recommend it. You don't need access to the inside of the barrel to use this device. I've had NO problems with leakage. When you open the valve on this unit the water comes out with a lot of force. Much more than with a brass valve. I highly recommend this rain barrel equipment. Jerry

It does not allow moisture to seep through the bottom. I have not had a problem with moisture seeping through it yet.

No answer. Mines didn't work at all. It leaked from the ring around the top. Completely nonfunctional. Waste money and time.
