Do I need to add anything special to the water used with this plate?

Yes. I use Arm and Hammer Washing Soda. This can be found in the detergent aisle. 1/4 cup to about. 2-3 gallons of hot water.

I used washing soda. I did not see the packet of activating powder in the package. I used it clean my silver-plated trumpet. Before I got this plate I used aluminum foil and baking soda solution to clean my trumpet. The plate worked fairly well, although I don't know how much better it would have worked with the provided powder.

I did use the powder that came with it, but for further uses I put baking soda in the water.

According to the instructions, you should add water if it gets below the designated optimum level. You should not let it run dry. I hope this helps.

Does not include deck plate. You do not need it if doing single hole application in granite. If you have a pre-bored sink, you will need to order the appropriate base plate to cover the unused holes in the sink. I think there is only one available for each finish. If need more info, call Danze customer service at 888-328-2383...they are very helpful.

If you are on public water, it has a trace of chlorine in it and you can add it as is. If you are untreated well water, you should use distilled water and add a puritab (included) instead.

I do not think you need anything special. I had somebody install the sink (and a new faucet) for me, so I do not know the details, but he did not charge me for anything extra.

I did not see this in the instructions and use regular tap water. If for some reason you get build up I am sure you can rinse it with some CLR

No the bottom of the plate is pretty much flat. Base plate says it all. maybe you could use some clay or putty to attach it or glue it if you don't mind it being permanent.

No. I used what I had when I installed it. If you need an extension to the water line, go to Home Depot and you can get one fairly cheap.

Yes, all the time. I think it is normal. Annoying too. I'm sure if you add less water it might burn off but you don't want to burn the plate out.

You do not add anything, when the water hits it - it expands works great - then you let them dry and resuse

No, I use regular tap water. Ours has some minerals in it, which cause some hardening of the wick. But I anticipate replacing the wick every year anyway, so I just go along with that. I don't see a need to buy special water.

I wouldn't add anything. mine worked fine, after I added some cleaner to the water, it stopped working.

It is NOT premixed. You will need to add the same volume of distiller water.

The faucet does not come with a cover plate for multiple holes. so, yes you will need a plate

The only thing I can suggest is what someone already did - take the underneath plate off, and use distilled water. Hope you did not put anything in the water..that will certain spoil the machine.

If you use tap/hard water, you will get a calcium build-up after awhile and it will need to be cleaned. I would suggest using distilled water.
