Hi all
My bag has recently started filling up primarily with gas. It's a Welland drainable bag. Are there bags that have some kind of gas release system? I have no experience with other products.

there are many products that have vents or you can add a vent etc..
try this trick if you have a filter now empty the bag and cover the filter to prevent ballooning

I get them on eBay, there are quite a few members around us here that use them. I think it was $15.00 for 10 them. That was just to try them out, I believe the more you buy in “bulk” the better your price gets. I don’t know how long I’m gonna be here at the cottage but once I’m out I can send you a couple to try out.

That's really kind but I'm in Australia. It'd cost you tons in shipping. I can just purchase them myself no problem. Our government pays for all supplies here so cost not an issue. Thanks.
