If you use the SEARCH facility on this forum you'll find that in the not too distant past there's been quite a few threads & replies posted regarding water bladders.

you would be hard pressed finding a comparison
I had a 200 litre flexmate (just sold it to a mate) that was well used and still in perfect condition after about 9 years. So pretty happy with Flexmate

can't speak to the water bladders specifically but I have a flexmate diesel bladder. review here https://thegreynomads.activeboard.com/t64997962/long-range-tank-jerry-can-alternative-flexitank-video-review/
There are some images which should give you an idea on quality and build etc.
Very solidly made.
I can't imagine the quality being any lesser on the water variant.

Yeah your right DD , I read them all and theres no real comment on quality or comparison , just looking for " comment from those that have one " from what I read here fleximate sounds good quality.

Another vote for fleximake , ours is a 125ltr that that fits in the rear footwell , has duel outlets etc , and because of where sits when in use the the weight is central in the vehicle and a low centre of gravity as well We covered it and could store lightweight items on it without a worry , also we have a small 12v pump that is easily hooked up and transfer water to the van .... great product all 'round and is well made , wouldn't travel without it

Thxs for info , Fleximate sounded good so ordered one yesterday 140L box , I'll fold down the rear seat in cruiser and sit it there that way no pump is required , just park alongside the van and drain it in.

I have a Fleximake 60ltr I put in the footwell behind the driver's seat. It's the biggest that will fit there in our SUV. With three of us in the car normally it balances up the weight nicely. I added standard garden hose fittings and a Whale in-line pump that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket to give maximum flexibility filling and transferring water. Works a treat, although at last filling station did have a curious lady come over to ask why I was filling my car with water!
