This attachment where the hose plugs into the Hydrapak Shapeshift had been playing up before aswell. I'd find the water leaking slowly out into my pack, but due to the days being so hot I never noticed as much (aside from needing to fill up more often maybe).
After being away from the bike for over a week and away from the Hydrapak (as I didn't need it for local riding with a water source closeby) for well over a month or more, I needed it today. Got my mtb gear on to remind me I need to go riding and last night I gave the reservoir a clean. I'd unplugged and found the washer distorted.
This morning after plugging it in and the not being sure if the little o ring was in place, I filled up with 3 electrolyte tabs (don't ask, might be a poor decision, but we'll see). Straight away started leaking and the lifetime warranty is pointless for todays ride. Couldn't afford to let the tabs or water go and I'm defo goonna go for that ride... Even if it means kicking my own backside with my own boots (I have some spare).
Pulled the o ring off. Made a figure of 8 - now this could go from bad to worse if the ring snaps - and carefully double wrapped it around the little recess....
Voila, no leaking. Might give em a call again to see if I can get an o ring sent out, but so far it's all good...
