is that a magnetic pill that goes into the test tube? can it go down the drain when emptying the water

It has happened to me twice. Luckily I was able to dig it out. You have to be careful. I love the unit though...it is well worth it.

Don't know yet. Not yet set up for use. Will surely get answer in 6-8 months of use. Have used other smaller magnetic device in the Toilet Tank. All old build up slowly went away and no new build up for last 5 years. Nik.

It's a coated capsule and I don't have any problems. I've found if I take a BIG gulp of water I have no problems getting pills down. It is a larger capsule, however.

Yes, it has a drain barb on the bottom side that you can connect a drain tube to.

Mine did not come with a magnetic sip valve. If I remember correctly it did not come with a bladder either.

Good morning Jonathon and thanks for the inquiry. No, this doesn't require draining. The fluid that is inside the tube is a heat transfer solution and will not freeze.Please let us know if you have any additional questions or if we can assist you further.Thanks again,Jeff CousinsOperations Manager

Have you put in the little circular rubber topped magnetic piece? It does not attach anywhere you just drop it inside the mineral cube with the blue/handle side facing up. The magnetic pull on this disc causes it to spin rapidly and creates a cyclone on the water that spins it. If you have already put the disc in then and it still doesn't cause the water to spin then you may have a defective machine.

These plastic test tubes do taper slightly towards the bottom of the tube (closed end). I do not have the exact measurements of the taper but a plain regular M&M will get stuck about half way down the inside of the tube.

When the crystals have turned into gels filling the tube, that is what you want. The water is supposed to be absorbed. I hope this is helpful.

There is a small diameter plastic tube that will slide inside the evap drain tube

It's basically just a magnet that is supposed to bind to the metals in the minerals in the water. It has no effect in my particular situation but might work if there was a higher mineral content in the local water supply.

I believe it is lead free, though I am not positive. If it has any lead (unlikely) it would be in such small amounts that it could only matter if you were using the water for human consumption. I don't expect that you are passing water through the device and into your mouth. If you are, check with Wilkins.

Yes, is made for water to pass through it and then the water is absorbed by the inner material - it will expand as it absorbs and grow round like a sausage and you may notice little pellets of a jello-like substance (thats what is inside it). It will absorb the dog urine as well. These worked very well for my basement to absorb seeping water and divert excess to the sump pump. While not exactly clean water it didnt smell and the dams did eventually dry out to be reused but it took a long time.

It will help maintain the evaporator drain clean. Always do a good cleaning of the evaporator tray and drainage line, then used the pills to help maintain it clean.

It is a pretty long tube-goes from the base of the pack, up through the hole and down the shoulder so it is easy to reach to mouth. It is possible to remove. We accidentally emptied the rest but didn't notice water in the line and it got moldy. It was hard to clean at that point but was possible.

Actually, the threaded piece that holds the nozzle in place contains the magnet(s). So, every time you get water out of the filter it passes right through the center of a magnetic field. Not the most powerful magnet but it is there.

It makes a great gravity filter--I purchased some surgical tubing (no memory coils) that attach to each end of the filter. The "uphill" tube inserts into the water source (bucket or bear canister), when with some sucking, the water will siphon up and over the side, and down through the filter, into the downhill tube and your water bottle. I do not use the sawyer bottle, except for storage. Once the first container is filled, others are quickly put in it's place until the source is out of water, and the cycle repeates. I love the backflow syringe for instant cleaning--BEST feature of the whole device!
