How long can this bucket be used or how many times can it be used ?

Hi. I am a nurse. I use it for a terminally ill elderly client. As long as you clean the bucket in between uses I see no limitations. I haven't used the bag but I am certain it would be more difficult to clean. Hard to say how many times I have used it but easily 50+ so far.I also own the stainless steel version for personal needs. Have had it for a decade.

as long as you keep it clean, I would assume you could use it inevitably. You may decide to clean the tubing or replace it. But the buckets will last you for as long as plastic holds up.

I've had one for about 6 months and use it twice a week. It is still in great condition. Hope this helps. I would definitely buy another when the time comes.

Probably 20+ uses. The bottle is big a small amount of product goes a long ways.

It can be used over and over. It will probably last a few years. Easy clean with soap and water.

Quite a few. Figure at least 7-8 uses, maybe more. I generally buy several at a time.

I still have my bucket from over a year ago & it still works great. I believe it will stay good indefinitely as long as its kept closed & dry.

We used 12 5-Gallon buckets and there was still plenty of room. I think in the description or one of the reviews it recommends a certain amount of sand.

It starts as granules, when they turn to slush/liquid it is time for another bucket. The time it takes before you need a new one depends on how much dampness there is.I started with 4 containers/buckets and replaced them within two weeks. Now I have 1 in my basement and it has lasted 2 months so far and still doesn't need replacing. It is a good product.

Yes you can use at two different times. The instructions contain a procedure for short term storage.

No there is not. I buy the 50 lb bucket at the end of the year and use it the following year. I have never had a problem. Just keep the container in a dry place

I found it very easy. I just turned off the unit, slid the bucket out, emptied it, and slid it back in. But as I was doing that once or twice a day, I opted to move the unit up onto a stool and attached a short piece of hose (4 ft) that emptied into a small plastic 20-gal trash can. That extends the dump time to 3 days!

to be safe, I would get a five gallon bucket, WE did a 28 ft. fifth wheel and had about a quart and 1/2 left over, does a very good job!!

Honestly I haven't ever done the math but I split a bucket with a friend and it lasted about a year. I guess it just all depends on how much you use. I average about a tbs of soap for an average load of clothes but you may need more or less depending on the size of load and how soiled it is.

its MORE than enough. you'll probably be able to use it upto around 4~5 times.

It's my understanding that it can distribute 7 times a day. My mother only needs it one time a day. My brother is actually the one who fills it but it is good for I believe, 28 days. He says it works great.

Before I got the hose hooked up, I used the bucket for a couple of months. I found it necessary to empty often (not as easy as the last one I had, but not terrible) since it doesn't hold much. The machine seems to work well. The hose now is connected to a basement toilet and never needs to be emptied!

I don't know. This is a relatively small (2 gallon) bucket which works well for my dogs in the winter. I can fill it in the kitchen and it is not too heavy to carry outside. Dogs are relatively short lived and this plastic probably won't be the cause of shortening their lives.

It is a pretty large bucket though I'm not sure of the quantity.It is larger than a regular house bucket that you would find at a local store.
