has anyone had any issues with water? I'm thinking of installing this product and leaving it exposed to the elements. Thank you.

Holds moisture so if you have to deal with cold temperatures expect it to freeze stiff.

I have my bed rug installed in my truck with no cover and have had no issues with water at all.I even wash it out with the hose occasionally with no problems.

None here. It does stay damp for a time after getting wet, but after over a year of ownership, I haven't had any water-caused issues.

I have a retractable tonneau cover but have noticed water between the bed and tail gate mainly because it froze. Even with it frozen and opening and closing the tail gate the liner stayed in tact. I really like the liner somehow it seems to keep stuff I put in the bed in place where it would have otherwise slid around.

I have not submerged it completely...but I have put it through everything short of that: 1) In the shower - mostly soaked the entire unit countless times. 2) By the pool (with my kids) - it got splashed, bumped, fell off of benches onto concrete. 3) Can of soda exploded onto it (overheated in a truck cab) - I was able to wash it off under a weak stream of water, no marks left. 4) BURNING MAN - this thing survived a week in the Black Rock Desert and managed to bump out very high-quality tunes all day long in the playa dust. Overall, I'm a VERY happy customer.

We've had it about a year and have had no issues. It looks brand new... but we don't let water sit in it. It recommends not leaving it sit for prolonged periods with water in it (when not actively being used).

I got mine last Summer and it's completely fine. My husband installed it with no problem at all. Good luck!

Did you test the water? Did you run it for a few hours after installation? I thought ours was a bit cloudy too in the beginning but it turns out it was just very small air bubbles. We've had ours 6 months and are thrilled with it!

Hi Peter,So far I haven't had any problems with it, I have only had water in mine and I was it on a regular basis.

I would say SOL. You may have broken the gasket on the rear door which may have caused a leak. I had an earlier version which went in about the same way you described with screen failure. I did not take mine underwater however. I would look into sturdier models which may have extended warranty periods. You should seek out other opinions. I did purchase this model again but will not subject it to water.

I have never had an issue with water but mine are not that close to my sink. You could always add a touch of silicone to prevent water to drip down. If its that close to water make sure you install a GFI receptacle to plug it into.

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.

This item is not really for water use. However, I've used it anyway in the beach, lake and pool. I've seen it rusted a bit after I've used it in the beach. I cleaned it with fresh clean water right away and did it not just once but many times. Rub a bit of baby oil and it is now working just fine with no visibility of rust at all.

Hi, we've had this steamer for almost a year, no problems with hard water deposits in Southern California. This steamer performs well, very leased with the purchase, see my full review for more info. Thanks.

I did not install outside. So I am unaware if there is any problems with it. But a friend of mine has two set which he installed a few years ago on his boat dock and they both seem to be holding up fine. (Salt water docks)

I've had the unit for about 6 months. It can be exposed to weather, but there are consequences. Mine had what was probably a very small leak out of the factory. After a big freeze, even after draining the unit this turned into a large leak. I patched it and am crossing my fingers. In the future when draining it I'll leave the drain plug off and hope that more cracks don't appear. There are a lot of small spaces in the unit where water will remain even after draining, so any deep freeze might be a problem. And I cover it to protect it from direct sun when not in use.

not sure what the manufacturer says but I'd be very cautious. There is a small metal piece that goes over the prongs of the plus that go into the top (controllable) outlet. I'd be worried about water and the outlet. Unless the outside area is covered and protected from elements.

Maybe defective. I have never had a problem. Even when it fills up with water from the rain.

Like, dirt? I dropped mine in some minor dirt, and it was fine. Also, I dropped it a lot of times in different places and it was still fine. Not sure about liquids tho. Never got it wet. Wouldn't recommend it tho. lol

NO. I would contact the company directly that makes the product about this and not trust what feedback you get here. I use mine out in the elements, but I would never use it under water it's not totally waterproof.
