Is this recommended to use with or without water?

Works best with water. It isn't slippery without water and therefore isn't very fun if dry.

It is great both ways. In summer months we use it with water. But it needs time to dry before packing away. If it isn't that hot outside we use it without water. My kids enjoy it just as much. We have been very happy with this purchase.

It is not necessary to mix this with water. You only need to broadcast (disperse somewhat evenly) directly into your pool.

I only use mine with water. I think that if you wash a stone well to remove the metal fragments, and wipe the blade to dry it and remove metal fragments that might dull it, that water is fine.

I think you can do both. But don't put the device itself under the water. I clean it with a cotton pad and a little bit of 90°C alcool or with antibacterial wipes once a week.

Yes, we use it all the time without water, The only thing I have notice is the kids occassionaly get a small sore, kinda like a little burn on their elbows from riding down but my girls don't complain they LOVE IT!!!! Best thing I have bought them :) Well worth the money

i agree with the prevoius response. It is always preferred to have your water in the proper balance before use. You should try to maintain this throughou the season.

I have used this for a number of years and twice is normally all you need to use it. Even once will do in many cases. The timing of use is important. It should be used when the water table is low and more often if there are long periods of dry weather. Tree and shrub roots will seek out water at a long distance when the ground is dry.

I have used it With and Without.. Either way is good..If used without, it doesn't leave very much grounds to float around and settle..Right now, I am using it without. Its a nice lil Pot for the money.. I would recommend it.

They recommend not putting any water on it. I just use a toothbrush to clean it along with a towel.

Still recommend using distilled water. I don't remember it saying you did NOT have to use distilled, but if you don't you will have eventual build-up of deposits. The other advantage of using DI water is that if you run the steamer dry, it doesn't really hurt it.

yes, I do use it with my electric part washer and it cleans really well, and it do not have a bad odor. I did use it without water and it is amazing!!!!!

I use it dry, even when they are wet. I have used it for 6 months so far, and no issues.

pump should be fine for a very short time running dry, if you have to move it turn it off and then turn it back on when you get to the barrel with water in it. It will take a few seconds to re prime the pump once you take it out, and put it in the barrel with water in it. No pump should be run without water as it will heat up and burn out the motor

I tested mine without water and would not work. Took it all apart before I realized the fuse is somewhat hidden in the handle. I had blown the fuse when I tried to run it without water.

As long as you clean it with the brush right after you use it, you shouldn't need to ever put water on it at all.

I do a sponge bath with this product. I add it to a basin of water and I don't have to rinse off. Good for camping but I would heat up some water to use with it. The no rinse shampoo is great too. You don't need water for the shampoo, just towel dry.
