can it be emptied out to use it again? do you need another one after its full with water?

I have not collected enough to try to empty it . I have another filtration in line with this. It looks like you could stand it on end and drain it if necessary.

The thing may be bled. Appears that it may also be disassembled and rebuilt. If it is filling with water, you might want to correct the design of your system, or drain your tank more often...

The waterBOB is intended to be a one time use for liability reasons. The product is durable enough to be re-used, however there is risk associated with not properly drying out the bladder after use. If someone was to attempt to re-use a waterBOB and followed these instructions, potential risk will be minimized. 1. Empty bladder completely. 2. Replace fill caps loosely. 3. Dry bladder completely. 4. Fold bladder back up, tighten fill caps and place in extra large (2 gallon) Ziploc, seal tightly 5. Store in climate controlled environment. 6. When ready to use again, fill and treat water (with product like "Potable Aqua Water Treatment Tablets") prior to consuming. 7. To be safe, use test kit to determine water is safe for consumption. This would allow the product to be re-used, however I'm not sure if this makes more sense economically than purchasing a new waterBOB, you will need to make that determination.

To empty it, you just pick any place on the side, and bend it down with your foot. You can get most of the water out this way. Then it's light enough to pick up to finish the job.

Mine works perfect, it's the best I've ever bought, do you empty it when you have finished?

You'll end up with an empty part. My wife and I use it all the time and when we don't fill it all the way it's not an annoyance.

I don't believe it needs to be filled again as its not evaporating. But you will have to wait a bit for it to heat before you use it. The reason you get coffee immediately is because the water is already hot. Be sure you turn off the reservoir when going away for the weekend as the water will evaporate.

you can leave it inflated but depending on where you have it you might need to add a little more air before using again.

No. It's fine with a little water missing. Actually, the water will evaporate a little over time anyway. We usually fill it back up, but it's fine without it.

I don't know it you can empty it, but Cuisinart suggests that the internal water tank be purged if you haven't used the unit in more than a week. Purge by running a 12 oz hot water cycle three times.

No there's a holding tank with a valve on it that can be emptied later. See manufacturer's website for more info.

I would think you could wash it. There was enough pre-filter to make two anyways. So could just the other one while letting one dry. I usually just blow off the filter with an air hose so if you have access to that it works great. I do that to all my filters, like the vacuum, dust buster, window units, and then this air purifier. The deal is keeping the prefilter clean to help preserve the life of the main filter.

I empty it out every single load. You can probably get two loads, unless it is something that produces a lot of lint.

You could but it is only good for one or two floods, it is not reusable. It will quickly break-down after the first use.

Yes it can be reused - that's what I do. I pull it out of the drain, pull off the gobs of hair and replace it. If that's too gross for you wear gloves or throw it away.

The main unit cannot be refilled so it must be thrown away. Always check the battery first before discarding the unit as I have found that a new one can ensure you get all the uses possible.

Absolutely you don't want to empty this amount of water so frequently. I left mine full over the winter and took me 2 days to get it clean and ready for the season

I just put it I into our bath tub and left it there during use. If thT's not an option for you, I's sure you can use whatever you have to fill it.
