Does this unit have auto-clean? How do you know when to clean it?Does the water get filled from the front or back?

I don't think it has any auto-clean feature. The water is poured into the top of the unit.

You fill the water from the TOP.... I'm not sure about auto-clean I will have to check for you. I will tell you this is the best coffee maker that I've had to date. I bought a second one for the upstairs. It takes 15 minutes to brew and it is worth the wait. you get a very hot cup of coffee when it is done. I highly recommend it (auto clean or self clean) well worth it.

It has an exposed heating element in the bottom that makes it difficult to clean. It does not have to be cleaned very often but I think 2-3 times per year delending on how much it is used. If I had it to do over then I would have bought a different unit.

The water goes just above the rim when it is first turned on. The amount of 'dirt' in the water and on the filter makes a difference as to how high the water goes. I clean my regularly to keep the water flow moving. I have lots of kitties drinking out of it. They like to 'play' with the water which gets it dirty.

I agree with other reviewers- it is manually operated- on and off. By the way- mine did not require filters as it has a little wire basket- just empty and rinse!

As far as I know it is automatic. I used it while camping and did not have to empty it for the entire week. It had not collected much water at all by the time we left.

Nothing does, you have run the unit in cleaning mode - pointing into the bowl, after sometime you will learn how long it takes for the hot water to reach the unit.

I have had one of these units for about 3 years and the water is still being filtered efficiently. It has an adaptor that you screw into the end of your faucet and has a lever to switch it from the faucet to the purifier and then turn it back to have water come back out of your faucet. It's simple. Cheaper than bottled water.

The unit is easy to clean and rhw manufacturer directions recommend it be cleaned weekly. I soak the inside of the tank and base with a water/ vinegar mixture and then wipe down the inside of the base.

You do not have to remove the reservoir to fill it; I just take the top cover off and pour water from a glass until the water level reaches the fill line. You do have to remove the reservoir to wash it and to remove/replace the filter; this is very easy to do. Knock on wood, I have had zero problems with the unit in the eight months I have owned it.

Does anybody have the instructions on how to clean this unit? I lost the box with the instructions in it... Thanks in advance

Yes, it should be flushed periodically. Otherwise, mineral deposits clog the filter, leading to the unit not functioning (the little green light on your control box will flash red). Cleaning the filter is not hard. Read the instruction manual. My unit also requires several minutes for hot water to arrive.

First, the unit doesn't produce a full gallon. Because of that, you can only fill the tank with about 3/4 gallon. I does shut off automatically by use of a ballast that drops to a certain point in the water. There is always about a 1/2 gallon of water and distilled chemicals in the lower part of the tank. There's a drain valve on the back to get rid of the bottom water every once in a while.

I had very dirty water and did not clean mine before using it; my water turned clear fairly quickly and stays that way as long as I backflush consistently to clean it.

The tank on the front is the clean water. The dirty water goes into the collection tank on the bottom front. Hope this helps

We've had our Koldfront for a few months now, there isn't any water. As the description states: The unit features an internal condensate removal system that will handle all but the most humid environments saving you the trouble of manually emptying a water bucket. This is very true, we've had no water issues. We didn't run our system 24/7, only as needed. I suppose it you use it 24/7 you might have water. What I'd also like to mention is this unit is GREAT! We have a 3 bedroom rambler and it cools the house very well.

If you set it to pump mode then it pumps every time the tank fills up. I've had it running 3 years now and have never manually emptied it.
