can this be filled via rainwater falling alone?

You will need a gutter with down spoutThe inner bladder type liner has a zip closed cover with a center screen for entrance of water

Not really. You need to put it under a gutter or direct a rain chain into it. It needs water directed to it. We love our tower. We receive loads of compliments on it.

Would depend on pump you have. Waterfall would be perfered but a small fountain should be ok.

No there should not be water. It is possible that the glass is allow rain water to get inside.

The hull is hollow, and I've never had it take on water during use. In my experience, if rainwater sits inside for a length of time, some does end up in the hollow area, but I've never had a problem with it being a large amount or affecting the buoyancy. There is a rubber drain plug at the front, and if you remove this you can drain the hull. I prop ours nose down against a tree once I've removed the drain plug.

Yes. No need to fill with anything. I'm not sure what it's made of, but it's heavy as cement!It looks very nice too.

I would say yes. There is a lid, that fits on the top. You could put a plant in it, or leave the lid off. Rain water would naturally fall into the barrel, if the lid isn't on. There is no reason that you have to keep the lid on except to appearance. It has a faucet or a short hose that you can use to drain the water out when needed. I really like mine.

Only if you want the water to come out of the tubing continuously. Other than that you can just fill it with water and be done.

Sure. It will probably fill with water though, but it's very well built, but lightweight so it should work fine.

U can. But it has moving parts that water can get into. Just need to dry it out completely.

It can be filled as much as you want it to be. I just wouldn't run it without water.

No. You have to add water yourself, either with shower hose or bucket. It's not that hard, though.

If you fill it so there is no air in it, then it can't be a problem. Liquid water doesn't expand enough to be an issue.

I did use it once when it was raining and the water did not leak through. Hope this helps.

Yes! That is exactly what I do. Mine is on a roof deck. You cannot fully submerge but lying in 6 in of water on an inflated bed is very comfotable.

Yes. Just let the water out of tube, it is pretty lightweight without water ballast

Yes you can but you should get a short lead hose (5' - 10') so water is not weeping directly from the water connection.

Yes you can; providing the water tank (which is VERY heavy when full of water) is placed on something higher than the highest shelf. It's a gravity feed system- there are no "pumps".
