I bought a used North Rebel and when I have gone to use it has a slight puncture / leak (as yet undiagnosed)on the leading edge. This doesn't worry me so I have removed the bladder to locate and hopefully fix the problem.

On removing the bladder I have noticed very obvious salt crystals throughout the inside. Clearly taken in a load of sea water at some point.

Firstly should I be worried about this?

If so is there a remedy?

Or should i just ignore this and fix the leak....?

Ignore and just fix the leak - it will be fine.

Will do, many thanks.
