Is this unit good for multiple uses? Or do you dispose of it once it is used once?

Hello: Never needed to use it, but if you did you could keep using it until it was empty...

Once used, the dry chemical powder can cause the valve to leak, causing a loss of pressure; dry chemical extinguishers should only be used one time, then disposed of, or refilled as applicable.

Its relatively inexpensive so think it is disposable. According to the writing on the bottle itself, it is for one-time use only and doesn't seem to be refillable.

Thanks for the reply Cary. I will try to discharge the unit completely since it only takes an hour to do so... I usually then place the unit on the DVR Dock until I'm ready to use it again which could be upwards of 3 days. Do you suggest I remove it from the dock and let it sit? Again, I've had the unit for less than a year so a chemical deterioration seem highly unlikely. But i could be mistaken. I have a warranty from NEW, but I would have to wait till a year has passed. We'll see what happens in the next week.

Sorry, this was for a gift and I have no idea about how many times it can be reused. Sorry!

The instructions say not to run it for more than 15 min at a time. If you let it sit for 5 min between each use I think you would b fine it is a great system the solution it comes with is not that great. Spend the money and get good solution we bout a gal on amazon for $100 and it is a big difference

This is my second one - I used the first for well over 6-7 years - I had to replace because my movers broke it during a move - I have had the current one for well over a year and yes I use it 2-3 times a week definitely - works really well

That is what I use it for, I find the batteries die very fast and when I reset it, I often have to take it off the wall and reinsert the batteries. and fiddle around with it until it decides to work. The other thing is you have to check it often because it will not work with dead batteries.

There is no need to clean the unit after every use if you do not choose to, though I would reccomend cleaning intermittently to maintain cleanliness and maintaining the unit. I am not clear on why some find it so difficult as I have no issues cleaning mine.

I actually used mine one time. Was after the time frame to return, and it did not work correctly. I actually threw it out as it seemed dangerous.

Well, this unit is just bad. Send it back, have another one sent out. I've had mine at least 3 years, maybe more and I use it for all things with batteries. It's been a good unit, your unit is just bad.

Yes, I quit using it. Overall, this is a crappy product. 1.5 years later, it's going to the hazardous waste recycling.

Yes it is reusable. Mine has lasted since December. Just let it completely dry between uses.

If you are using this for sous vide, I would not reuse. That is just asking for trouble. Giving old bacteria a new life in your next batch of food seems like a terrible idea.

It can totally be reused as long as you clean it--I sanitize it in my dishwasher or put it in boiling water.

no it can be used again and again if needed. It is made of metal. IF it is used in a fire I would definitely check it out for damage before using it again.

These are meant to be reuseable, i guess replace if it breaks? Nothing specified how many times it can be used...it's just two plastic trays

since it counts down to zero, you can't reuse. you have to re set. very easy to set though.

I have only washed and reused this particular filter twice. However, the filter was not in "poor condition" when I threw it out. You could potentially get more than 2 uses out of it.
