How does the water bladder/reservoir work? Do I need to buy something else to make it work?

I have not used the water bladder. There are 2 side mesh pockets that a bottle of water fits perfect in.

Just about any bladder will work. There is an opening in the pack to allow a drinking tube to be accessed without removing the pack. It does not come with a bladder.

Dose not come with one. It only has a place for a water bladder to fit in to, and a hole for the hose to come out.

Ah, the old Tanker trick. Yes, it will work. I do the same thing for my son, though he learned very young how to get water out of the camelbak

No you have to buy bladder separately. I bought the Osprey bladder off Amazon. I think they have 2 or 3L ones.

From what I can tell there is no pump, so the unit works with a valve/head pressure. So you may not get optimal results with the reservoir at the same height

Sorry that you had that problem. By any chance, is the water leaving the reservoir? By the answers below, looks like it has to be "surgically" connected, look at the Java Exotic Imports answer. Maybe you should try to call Philips Saeco Customer Care at 1 800 933 7876, remember that you have full warranty, and I can easily issue a Company Commercial Invoice in case you have to return it. Of course, at any time, you can send it back to me and I'll replace it for you. But, in your shoes, I'd call the support, just to avoid the hassle of return and wait for another.If you decide to call them, please drop me a line, I'm curious now. Good luck!

You've got to "Y" the water feed from the wall to your toilet -- so the toilet has a feed, and the seat has a feed. They give you what you need to do this, so you just need a wrench to undo what's there and tighten it again. Other than that, you just remove the existing toilet seat, put this in it's place and plug it in.

In the back near the bottom of the unit, is a little nozzle you unplug and the water comes out. You can connect it with a piece of silicon tubing. Or just bring a small container to catch the water, I still use it and it works fine. Not a bad air condition.

Its just like any Camelbak or other bladder. Best advice is to empty it, and if it's going to sit for a while, roll up some paper towels to keep the mouth open and "wick" the moisture out.

No water reservoir. You have to pour water in the top of the unit for each cup.

As others said you will need a different cap. The MSR dromedary cap and hydration system work perfectly with this bladder. If you don't want to spring for the dromedary cap/system, you could also cut a hole in the existing top and glue/melt on the screw-on end of your favored hydration tube. But that sounds like more hassle than it would be worth.

Not hydration bladder capable. It has so many options I didnt even think of that. Although in the top compartment I have put a mini cooler for beverages. I have never used a hydration bladder fishing before but that is not a bad idea.

I had to take a water hose and kind of prime mine where the intake is, squirt water in there and it will evently pick the water up! Good luck !

It comes with everything you need, but lets be clear there is no "pump" it uses water under pressure to operate. No pump

Water reservoir is removable and this one did not leak - only after placing it on the machine did it leak.You will need to pull it out.

you can refill the reservoir, or you can buy a new system, i prefer buy a new one because is cheaper, thank you :))

None. I just unhooked the old one, connected the new one. Left faucet open for a bit, shut if off and I was done. It is working perfectly. Lots of pressure. If you let it completely empty every so often it will allow the bladder to last longer.

The bladder is designed to be supported when full of water. I think that it has to be in some sort of enclosure. A 5 sided plywood frame would probably do.
