I read somewhere it may have been here or in another website about a little plastic "pop-up" vent that you clip into your pouch at the rear near the top and can then be used if and when the charcoal vent blocks up which I found happened a lot when I would attempt to flush the pouch out. Does anyone out there know or have heard of these things and if so where are they available from. Be nice if they exist and are available in Australia. Thank you in advance to you all, regards,
Tom.
Tom,
There have been many discussions on the vents and, as with all products, some like them, most don't. I have never tried them. I irrigate so I can use a pouch for many day without output so they don't clog up. One little bit of output ruins them though. Kinda not worth the trouble to make a pouch with them if they don't work! Just sayin. Maybe you Request a few samples! Every product Is worth trying.
If you try them, be sure to come back and tell us what you think.

hello puppyluv, thank you for your reply of caution, well now that I have found out where to get them the search is over: at AUD& 8.00 per vent + postage to Australia I think we will persevere in the present manner! I cannot believe that such a simple device can cost so much, I was prepared for maybe a dollar each but of course my Scottish upbringing kicked in big time, thank you and take care
