These waders are listed as 2 ply Nylon/PVC. Is the outer ply PVC, and the inner ply Nylon? Has anyone had success repairing a leak?

I am not sure yet, but mine also have a leak after using them a few times. I may try the vinyl patch.

Outside nylon inside vinyl I go in sewers and duck hunt with them and I patched a hole a year ago with a simple vinyl patch and it has held through heavy use. They do make you sweat!

Sorry to say, my first hose by the second day had two small pin hole leaks and that afternoon the hose totally bust near the collers while I was rinsing of the salt water from my boat. After that I thought maybe it was a fluke and I did get the one with the brass fitting, but it lasted 7 days. Like I said there is a warranty, but it's not really free replacement if you have to pay S&H; every time. And besides if it keeps breaking? who in the world wants to keep returing it? It's to bad, because it is a great idea for a hose, just not strong enough with the current materials.

I just took one apart. They appear to be two-ply - a very tight outer smooth cover over a mesh filter-type woven fabric. Well made.

Less than a week, I seriously loved it but I got sick of sending it back and getting it replaced. We only used it in our home pool, no one was misusing it either(no jumping, etc) just floating around. Both floats got the hole in the same exact spot, nothing a patch kit could fix since it was on a seam! :( Good luck.

I can't remember exactly when I installed the reel but, so far, it has not leaked a drop. I have not had had any problem with the reel "system" since I bought it. I think I bought the reel some time last summer. If you want, I can dig through my records and give you the exact date that I ordered it.

Ii found there are various degrees of wetting. During the nite it was rare for a leak but I checked and changed sometimes more than once. When we went out I always put two on him in case we were gone longer than expected. I have also doubled them at night.

having taken one of these apart I found a lot of the internal components are all some type of plastic or nylon.... with water heaters all being set to varying temps I would recommend not switching between spray and stream when the water is all the way to hot.. it was obvious the switching yoke in mine was all stretched out in original spray head...... the second one has lasted much longer than the original following this practice

I cannot verify the thickness vs. whitewater rafting boats. There is a bladder that blows up, and a cover over it, both of which are pvc.

I would recommend you order one size larger. That is what I did and it worked great. I think part of the reason is because you need to accommodate the space your waders take up.

I assume you are referring to swimming pool jets. I don't know every plastic is different. It works well on epoxy and fiberglass resin even under water. Best plan would be to buy some and test it. It's cheap enough. Give it at least 48 hours to cure.

Unfortunately, the industry does not provide adequate fixes for tubes that require more than small patch. I have had a large towable leak at the seams, which is unrepairable. I then researched vigorously to find a replacement tube, and was not successful. Most of what is out there as a replacement is close to the price of new one, especially when they are on sale or become clearance items. The only other resource might be to check out the pool patches for soft sided lined pools. Those patch kits are larger, and the bonding glue is impressively strong.

Bike tire patches didn't work for us. We wound up using bits of pack cloth stuck on with PVC plumbing cement. The repairs were stronger than the rest of the raft. We also found the easiest way for us to find leaks is with a garden sprayer loaded with soapy water (obviously done outdoors) and look for the bubbles. Even slow leaks showed up easily this way.

The pipes I have are PVC and they seemed fine. Just made sure to run the water for a minute or so to wash all of the lye away.

If you prepare the surface so that the epoxy (pc11 ) has a good hold of the surface where you are spreading it, it will work. Bear in mind that the Epoxy works if you do spread it where the leak is (outside hull, if done on the inside it will not work). You might try it with a reinforcement of wire mesh for strength inside , but I have never tried on the inside of a boat bilge

Hi Ivan: No the P5 does not have an internal plastic support. Due to the filter design one is not required. Thank You, WaterFiltersOnline

The outside housing is metal and good quality. The inside piece that screws onto the pipe was plastic. We were replacing a similar faucet that had a plastic housing and metal inside piece. We called Delta and either bought a new metal inside that fit or verified that the old metal inside piece would work once cleaned up. I can't remember. I remember that Delta was very helpful. You could try calling them. Good Luck.
