A question for people who have owned a Slingshot One Pump for more than a year. Has anyone had any problems with the bladders or is that just a myth? I've heard from a couple of people they leak or you need differential pressure (?) but Im not sure if thats garbage or not.

How long do they last? Has anyone ever had a problem with the bladders?

If your on an 04, the Fuels tend to have a problem with leaks coming from where the valves are glued to the actual bladder. This is a manufacturing fault as the glue that is used doesn't stick as well to the black valves that the 04 kites have (thats why all the 05 kites have clear ones like most other brand kites, the clear ones bond better to the bladder) If you get a leak on any of the valves take it to the place of purchase, or email slingshot direct & the should send you out a replacement bladder (the ones their using in the 05 kites)
The pressure for the Fuels should be approx 6psi.

Had them 1 year and 3 months, have had this happen and havn't missed a session yet.
I am sure your local dealer will sort it out, if you have no satisfaction get in touch with slingshot Australia, I am sure the guy's will look after you.

as with most stuff you buy the reputable companies will stand by their products
