I reused the refrigerant stored in this tank. Should I take steps to prepare for long-term storage, such as charging with nitrogen?

You need to empty a bucket or run a small hose through the floor or out of the wall. I'm not sure you would want to recycle the water in the air again because part of the cooling process is reducing the relative humidity. I think all air conditioners do this---even central air.

If you are using this for sous vide, I would not reuse. That is just asking for trouble. Giving old bacteria a new life in your next batch of food seems like a terrible idea.

I don't believe there is anything in the filter that would prevent long term storage. I have stored them for over a year with no problem.

I didn't heck that on my bottle before I stored it away in the cabinet. I would use it up to at least one year and maybe even two years. I would just make sure the top of the bottle is clean before you sealed it.

I did store mine in the frig for a while and no ill effects. I did let it come to room temp before I plugged it in to make sure there was no moisture in the plug area.

You will need to fill the co2 tank. Personally I ended up switching out everything on it a couple of months down the road and just kept the fridge and the mount for the tap. Remember to put a cheap fan in the back of the fridge to keep the air flow going or else it will only get temps of about 45%.

You have to fill the tank, preferrably with some sort of filtered water. I just fill it at my fridge.

I guess I am late on a reply. But I have been using for a while and has been stored for 6 months without issues (moderate conditions). I wouldn't want to store fuel for longer than 10 months anyway. When I get that long something is wrong. (Just dump in car and buy more gas). But using this during the winter in NJ works great!

Yes. After using it for gasoline, I fill a bucket with water and siphon it thru to rinse the gasoline residue out. Then, I can store it in the basement instead of in the garage, where it will be exposed to extreme temperatures, shortening its life span.

While that can vary based on tank size, usage, climate, etc, I had originally planned for once to twice a year. However after I had the solid waste tank pumped, the tech mentioned using it every 3 months. So that is my plan going forward.

It should be fine. If you have a heavily populated tank you might consider a larger unit or be prepared to empty the collection cup more frequently. I ran mine for over a year and a half before I upgraded to a bigger tank and never had a problem with it.

I normally do several gallons in a row myself and then I put soap, water and vinegar in the unit and let it sit for a few hours. This gets the canister clean and looking new. I also occasionally wipe out the build up with a paper towel between loads if its looking really bad.

We put our filter into our house refrigerator when there will be an extended period of non use. This prevents/reduces and bacteria build up and we've never had a problem. Drain it the best you can before refrigerating.

I would let the unit stand up right for a couple hours before power it up due to the freon oil in the compressor. Just like the refrigerator, we want the oil to completely drain to the bottom of the compressor.

The manual states the following: Long Term StorageIf the system is going to be idle for long periods of time per- form a back flush then follow the regeneration process using 1⁄4 cup of bleach or 1 pack of Watts Sani-System Solution in lieu of table salt to perform a sanitization. When the system is ready to be used again re-sanitize with bleach or Sani-System Solution then regenerate with table salt.I close both valves on the splitter and cap the inlet. When ready to use, I just let the water run out the outlet for 5-10 minutes beforeI connecting to the RV. Done this when sitting up to 30 days... I had no issues.

Yes, once the gallon is open you have to place it in the refrigerator until is completely finished
