Tidal Tank - Original Aqua Bag Instead of sandbag - Training Power Bag with Water Weight - Ultimate core and Balance Workout - Portable Stability Fitness Equipment

This is a _excellent_ bit of travel workout gear. If you're traveling and use a kettlebell this is the thing for you. It's got more heft than the mini tidal tank, and the sphere shape means you'll definitely get more momentum effects than a cylinder.As with all of these, filling can be kind of time consuming and best done in a tub or outside.The valve can be a little sticky so be patient and keep trying until you get a good seal.

First off, great product. I've used it for a few months and love it. Recently, the past month or so I didn't touch it much, I'll admit. My first mistake was filling it with outside hose water, which led to the growth of a strange bacterial film over time (I'll always fill it with cold tap water from the bath from now on). Over a month's time I noticed that the inside became coated with a nasty brown mildew. I read some reviews on here for help and couldn't find anything, and noticed that some people had tossed their tidal tank after having said problem. Here is my solution that worked 100% for me, after contemplating the same whether I should throw it out:▲[You'll need: White vinegar, Borax powder, a small bottle of isopropyl alcohol, and a bunch of salt]• First, empty the tank out into the tub drain, careful not to let it splash on surfaces, or spray you in the face while opening the valve under pressure like I did... You can wear a face mask and goggles for safety if needed since you're dealing with mildew mold spores (I didn't take my own advice). But you don't want to breathe this stuff in. If the water pools up in the tub, make sure to wash surfaces thoroughly afterwards. You could also just empty it outside.• Next, fill the tank a bit with some warm water to loosen the mildew. You can use some white vinegar here. Slosh it around and leave sitting for about 20 minutes with the air totally pressed out of it for surface coverage. This will dissolve the first layer, and trust me liquid alone isn't enough to remove the sticky, well-attached mold. Empty the tank and give it a quick flush before the next step.• After a lot of trial and error and searching I found that Borax is the supreme mold killer. I soaked my tank in the same way as the vinegar, with a few cups of borax powder and a little over a gallon of water. You can pre mix it in a cup and keep diluting it till it's all in the tank, as it takes a bit to dissolve (I left that sitting for a day or two but you don't have to do that, since the next step will totally clean the remaining mold.) You can leave the borax water sitting for about 2 hours, deflate the tank to have all surfaces covered. In my case it stripped most of the mold, but we want to destroy the last of it so it can't grow back. Rinse the tank once more.• Last you want to empty about half a container of salt into a mixing cup or water bottle, then pour half your small isopropyl alcohol bottle in with it to create a slush. Make sure you've gotten as much of the water out of the tidal tank as possible, since salt is water soluble and we don't need it to dissolve. The salt will stay granular in the alcohol which is why you should use that. We want an abrasive liquid inside the tidal tank since there's literally no way to get anything inside to scrape away the mold otherwise.• Now pour the salt and alcohol into the tidal tank, and use the remaining alcohol to wash any salt out of your cup and just in case the valve clogs up with salt. Once it's all inside, insert the pump and inflate the tidal tank fully. Now take the tank outside and get a workout violently shaking it to use the motion + the abrasive to scrape away the rest of the mold. You'll be able to clearly see any spots you missed, and the liquid will turn brown.- That's it! Just rinse it out and your tank is as good as new. For good measure I put a half cup of borax into the tank when I fill it, since it raises the pH and helps prevent mildew growth. I also change the water out weekly now, lesson learned. Hopefully this helps and you won't need to throw your tidal tank away!

Great product that we use daily in a physical therapy clinic. Adds an element of stabilization to strength training. Awesome for young athletes

The tidal-tank is great to build core strength, rotational power that directly related to velocity in throwing sports. Easy to use and works at any fitness level. Multi-Deminsional activities for strength, balance and coordination. Easily packs up and can be used any where you have water.

I like the unique design. And how effective it is at working twitch muscles as well as main muscle groups

I bought the Tital bag thinking water would be easier on the body than sand bags. I also teach a senior bootcamp and I think this will make a great and fun addition to our circuits.

Versatile and fin exercises will challenged trunk control in unique ways that are more fun than feeling like a workout

Instability with the tidal tank brings training to the next level with the athletes I work with! Highly recommend
