I shower with my flex. Has anyone had issues with water getting into the chamber or view window?

Sometimes I take mine off to shower and sometimes not, yes water can get into these AND the Fitbit bands. Don't delude yourself into thinking the 'brand bands' do not have this issue also because they do. The bands are not waterproof, nor resistant. You have to care for your tracker. The trackers are waterproof, submerged in water up to 10 meters of depth. Thereafter no. If I notice water in mine, I take the tracker out, dry it well and then smoosh tissue up into both chambers to absorb excess water. Then I take a Qtip to both ends to make sure I have all of the water out. I've had mine for four months, LOVE my Fitbit and this works for me.

I just bought this wrist band. It leaks horribly!! Also, no matter how much I try to dry it steam builds up in the window. This is not good for the tracker as it is water resistant not waterproof. I have to order a new bracelet and will be going directly through Fitbit this time.

No I have not had water get in to mine so far, I have a friend who swims with her fit bit all the time

I've had this issue and I don't swim or shower in mine. I had to stop using it.

I wear mine in the shower everyday and have not had that issue. It stays dry.

Yes. I swim with mine and have the same issue. I usually just take out the tracker, dry it, and put it back in.

Yes, I have this issue too and I swim with it as well. I usually take out the tracker and dry it out a couple times a day. I'm assuming that the tracker is waterproof though! I've had mine for 3 months and it's still going strong.

Have used it many times in the shower/bath...you may have had a tiny flaw/crack in the glass - Hard to tell!

You need to make sure the unit is slightly slanted downwards outside of the window. If the unit is level with the window or even tipping up you will cause water to leak into the room and the unit will not function properly.

I have never had an issue. I use a little water and no problem. You may have a defective one. I have had mine for almost a year and use it 3 times weekly.

Mine is in my bathroom. Put it up 8 months ago and havdnotg had any issues. It's plastic so I imagine that's why the water/steam hasn't effected it.

Sounds like you might be missing the trim rings? Basically a chrome, thin wall pipe that threads on to the valve body to cover the exposed valve stem, and an escutcheon that covers the hole in your shower surround. The handles should overlap the chrome pipe to prevent excess water entry

I have had mine for a little over 3 months and use it in the shower daily, no problems!

The Camera unit appears to be water tight. I have used in mine in a light sprinkle and believe it would be fine in heavier showers. I don't know how it would do as a permanent fixture

Hi Jason. I love the water chef. We have the metal model. There is a really good quality plastic cover on the shower wand that the water does flow through. I know what you mean about the cheapy plastic shower wands and covers but this is way better. The hose has a spiral metal cover, not sure what kind of tubing is within that flexible metal. I have a latex allergy and have had zero problem with this shower filter/wand system. My suggestion is call the company.. they have great customer service and may sell it to you with a money back guarantee taking into account your health issues. But I bet you will like it. Happy to help. Melinda

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.

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.

On mine the panels are not totally water tight. So the extra moisture leaks through whichever the bottom seams happens to be. In most cases it the seams opposite the doors, because I tend to leave the doors in the up position.

If the shower is in direct sunlight and it's really hot outside (90 degrees or above) then maybe, but I haven't ever had that problem. Most of the time it's a great temperature, but I'm sure it's more of a personal preference than anything. Hope that helps!

i would't recommend leaving water on....when not in use as it also would put pressure on the flex/spring mechanisms. and faucet.

Mine has given me no problem at all and it gets wet a lot. For the price a guy could have a couple on hand!
