After the water tank has been filled with water, does it have to be turned upside down when it is placed back on the unit?

Yes. The bottom of the tank has a lid that is removed for filling and replaced. Once you have filled the tank and put the lid back on you must turn the tank upside down to put it back on the unit.

Turn it upside down when taking it out of the pool - this way all the water is passing through the filter before it exits.

No, there is only a reservoir on one side, so you can easily flip it over to use the other side.

No, but you can change the orientation before turning it upside down. Sideways no.

I took my tank off, tipped it upside down, shook it.. Put the tank back on an it works fine again.

Yes. When the float rises it triggers the water pump to stop filling because the tank is full.

Yes, but not easily because it is flush with the rest of the tank. This is annoying, but, if you generally keep it pointing in a single direction, and so aren't readjusting it often, it's not that big a deal.

There are feet on the bottom. Its designed to be used one way. Never bothered flipping it over. Wouldn't see why it wouldn't technically function upside down though. Not sure why you'd need it to=)

Yes, it can be install upside down and that is the way I installed. Avoid the accumulation of insects in the cup.

I have had mine for a few weeks now. I love mine it has not leaked a drop. You have to turn the water tank upside down to fill. There is a big opening that you have to turn the plastic opening to put water in. There is a rubber seal on it. I am sure that keeps it from leaking with water in the tank. It is hard to turn. I have had 2 small pegs on the in side of the tank brake off and it still has not leaked. I would recommend this unit for everyone.

I spoke with tech support for this product about reducing the weight of the tank before storing for travel. I now attach a small portable air compressor to the inlet side of the unit and push the water out the discharge side. You can get most of the water out this way and should have less water present in the unit to cause a problem. You should not turn the unit upside down to drain water as it may cause loss of the media.

it will work upside down, you have to just cover the hole when turning it over.

It's reversible, since its a drop in tub it doesn't matter which side you put it. if it had a sidewall it would be one or the other.

No, not a tight seal. I've not turned it upside down, but if I were to fill it with water and turned it upside down there would be a slight trickle.

It does not automatically turn itself off after it is filled if that is what you are asking, once it is filled up you just flip off the switch.

Yes. Just remove the filter. Fill-up with water and then turn the entire unit upside down, in a sink. The pressure from the water causes the top section to fall out effortlessly.

Once it is filled and the black part is screwed on securely, if you flip if upright quickly enough, you will only lose a small amount of water, a splash. It should be done outside though because you will lose a little water. I ask my husband to flip it because obviously he is stronger than me and can go quicker without a problem.
