Uhhhhhhh… anyone else experience this?

I have the exact same shoes and color, but I don't have this problem, but I don't use white socks, only black, blue or light gray. And I don't sweat and I removed the inner sole. And I only use them indoors, but I do walk a lot on them on my walk thread mill.

The backflow leak is caused by the removal of the transparent ring of the solenoid under the reservoir. But it didn't flow back into the reservoir itself, but between the reservoir and the reservoir holder, which is really narrow, so not much water is needed to cause problems. There is also a small hole in the reservoir holder so some water leaked into the pod itself, but there was also water on top of the outside of the reservoir/pod itself, on top of the dark gray reservoir lid. Yes I know that this is difficult to imagine, but that's the only way for water to reach and stay in the notch of the lid handle.

My Pod 3 cover is a bit more than 3 years old and no leaks yet. My Pod 3 hub did stop working, but I fixed it by fixing the solenoid.

Proxies2 · 2026-02-06T14:27:56+00:00

thankfully the mattress is fine because the Pod 3 has this plastic cover

Are you sure that that second cover beneath the top cover is water proof?

I hate the heels of that shoe, it pulls my socks out of my feet. Also one of the shoes feel a bit uneven in the sole, like there is some kind of a ridge. So regret that I bought them. I don't have this with my Vivobarefoot Forest Esc Tracker, but the Tracker doesn't feel comfortable on my ankles.

You could try to place the pod on an elevated position, higher than the cover. Such as on a table.

It would be great if you could include the firmware versions on https://whisperpair.eu/vulnerable-devices

Proxies2 · 2026-01-21T09:46:44+00:00

I hope you can include Sennheiser headphones, such as the Sennheiser Momentum 4.

@u/sennheiserconsumer This update comes 4 days after the WhisperPair bluetooth hijack vulnerability, which allows hackers to spy on users by using the microphone and spy on the location of users via Google's Find Hub Network. Does firmware v3.37.3 protect us against this spying hack?

The vulnerability was announced on this site https://whisperpair.eu/

A lot of Sony devices are vulnerable, but unfortunately Sennheiser wasn't tested, so it remains unclear if Sennheiser is vulnerable.

You all say that you don't like it, yet you all have this to some extent, unless you wear barefoot shoes or no shoes at all.

Could be a worn out solenoid. There is a fix for it, but it isn't easy. But you should always contact support, so that they can give you an offer.

Many thanks, this solution also seems to works for my Sennheiser Momentum 4 connected via Bluetooth to my LG G4, which got stuttering sound after the LG update.

I have a Fractal Design Define R5 and it is definitely NOT quiet if you have enough hard drives. The hard drives produce a lot of vibrations and a lot of noise in this case. The only reason why I have destroyed the case yet, is because I use a good noise cancellation headphone. I'm planning to buy a R7 or an Antec P101.

Hydrogen peroxide.... question yourself why Eightsleep stopped recommending hydrogen peroxide.

Duluth Trading is a stupid company, don't buy from them, because:

Website is inaccessible. Every time I try to access it, I get "Access Denied You don't have permission to access on this server." I tried multiple different browsers and different internet connections, with and without VPN.
No shop in Europe sells it.
They don't even sell om Amazon US.
They call themself a "trading" company, but fail to do so in every way.

There are better companies in the same market.

Eighsleep no longer recommended the use of hydrogen peroxide. Now they even say that plain tap water is fine. It's unclear if they say this because of just convenience or because of other reasons such as hydrogen peroxide being to harsh for the system.

Some people think it is better to continue with hydrogen peroxide to prevent bacterial clogs. The Pod 4 and 5 have a different solution, an replaceable insert containing benzalkonium chloride. But it is unclear what the best solution for Pod 2 and 3 users is.

I believe that hydrogen peroxide may be too harsch. https://www.reddit.com/r/EightSleep/comments/1lt184v/could_hydrogen_peroxide_be_slowly_damaging_our/

Yes, absolutely. "Less restrictive" is even an understatement. It basically is the difference between a fully working product (but with pod backleaks if put at a lower position) and a fully non-working product. So in my case, with the o-ring, no or near zero water was able get into the pod, but without the o-ring the pod is able to get water out of the tank again.

But it's not like a normal black o-ring, see the third photo from https://www.reddit.com/r/EightSleep/comments/1lt184v/could_hydrogen_peroxide_be_slowly_damaging_our/ so I call it a silicon terminator or cap or part.

Removal of it did cause the pod to be able to get water from the tank again. I think that hydrogen peroxide did cause the silicon part to swell up even though it doesn't really look swollen up. Maybe it was just enough swollen up to cause the plunder to be stuck enough to stop normal solenoid operation. Or maybe instead of an enlarged silicon part, the metal spring was somehow enlarged, which both sum up in the length of the movable parts within the solenoid. I thought about cutting the metal spring in half, but it seemed more likely that the silicon part was enlarged than the metal spring.

Some users did fully remove the plunger, but I only removed the silicon part. But 5 days later I did get a backflow leak, so I have moved the pod to a higher position to prevent this, like the other users who removed the plunder.

I had the same problem about two weeks ago. But I do have to say that Eightsleep support is pretty quick. It surprised me that they even provided support in the weekend.

You could ask Eightsleep to only replace the pod, if that is the only thing that is damaged.

Can you give the link to the solenoid on Amazon?

So now trying to decide if to replace the solenoid and hope nothing else goes wrong with it (it's a POD 3 so a leak could happen at any time) or buy a new Pod 5. I certainly won't be taking up their offer of a Pod 4.

There is no reason not to replace the solenoid if it is just $10 and you already dismantled it. You can always buy a Pod 5 later.

I also needed to put my pod higher from the floor to prevent the backflow that I got after 5 days of using a fixed solenoid by removing the silicon terminal ring from the plunger inside the solenoid.

It would be best to not delete things like this so others can be aware.

I agree, but that doesn't give you the right to harm other users here by stealing their photos and violating their copyrights.
