I have 2 Katadyn Base Camp gravity filter bags that have begun to leak. One is becoming delaminated near the bottom and the other leaks from the (slightly oblong?) hole where the filter goes. I'm sure I could fix the first one with Seam Grip but I'm a little concerned about continued delamination.
I would imagine that the 2nd one can also be repaired, but it's not obvious how to o so with my poor eyesight and repair capabilities.
Still, both bags are still quite sturdy and waterproof and have working closing mechanisms.
Can anyone suggest alternatives to throwing them out? I have several others so I don't need to go through heroics to bring subpar equipment into the wilderness.
Thanks!
PS: For the "old-style" Base Camp units, what is the term for the big plastic O-ring that is used to screw the filter into place?
