Does this need to be purged?

The one we purchased did not and we just bought it to our local U-haul store for filling

I am not aware of that need to purge the tank,I just plugged it in and filled it with 30 litres of gas and used it on my forklift.The quanity of fill is to avoid over filling the tank as a safety measure.

Yes, I bought one a few months ago and it had to be purged before it could be filled.

No, item is ready to fill. I purchased three of these and all were good to go.

If you are anal about it being spotless, then yes. But it's not really necessary. I just give it a quick rinse to get the big chunks out, and that is good enough. Because of how the distillation process works, the water will still come out just as good even if there is a bunch of crap in the bottom.

Maybe not getting it rinsed out completely. Try using less with natural products you don't need much

As others have said, the tank is not pre-purged. I experienced the same problem you had; the first two places I took it, both U-Hauls, said they could purge, but then were unable to. I called on the next one, and the third try, a local propane company, purged and filled the tank without a problem. The tank itself is excellent, with this one startup situation. I recommend that anyone buying this tank call around first to make sure the company can (and knows how to) purge. After the first time, as I'm sure you know by now, purging is no longer necessary.

Not at all. it hardly has any smell to it at all and what little there is does not cling. If you are concerned, use another soap or body wash after using this. It will get rid of anything that may have been left behind.

It is ment to be replaced not cleaned. It traps all the alge and impurities in the charcoal and should be discarded in the trash. I replace it every couple months. I only have 1 thursty golden retreiver

Yes. Gets really gross. But I leave it in the filter compartment. Doesn't smell until I take it out to toss it!

I've had mine for about 2 months. I don't see why you would ever have to throw it out. It wipes clean.

I don't think it absolutely needs to be rinsed off, however I don't believe it's meant to be left on. It has a bit of a greasy residue so you'll probably want to rinse off, maybe even wash off with a cleanser.

I've never needed to. Cleanup is easy! Fill it part way with water and a couple drops of dish soap, run on mix for 30 sec, rinse. All clean!

Hi Christopher, That is up to you. The bio spray is to eliminate odors in the container so you don't need to empty it every day. Thanks, EZDogFences

I've never heard any need to purge after installation, beyond filling and then dumping 4-5 tankfuls.

yes, all propane tanks should be purged first.but where-ever you are taking it to get it filled, they should do thatand know that with new tank.

Hi Much Addicted: it's not necessary to rinse the bag until the product runs clear. A light rinsing to remove loose carbon residue should be enough. Make sure when you install the bag in your sump that you place filter floss or pads on top and bottom. Make it a CHEMI- PURE sandwich. I've been using this for years and it's a great product. Hope this helps you! Jim

I don't believe you need to purge air out of the hose. This adds freon air into your system because there is not enough freon air in the system to begin with.

screws on the side of housing adjust laser. unsure if purged, but its for air soft so i would say no.
