Is the top water-filled?

No, it does not have a moat for holding water to seal the lid. the inside rim slopes down to the opening. That's less than ideal for some uses, but better for others. I'll use mine to ferment korean-style soy sauce over 1-2 years. In that setting, it would not be desirable to have a water seal, because bugs and bacteria would accumulate in the moat, and would drip into the pot each time I lift the lid to sample the fermentation. So for this application, the dry lid will be better, and I'll cover the top of the closed pot with a cheesecloth and tie it snugly around the rim with twine.

Hi Bradley,thank you for your interest in one of our products. No, it doesn't fill with water. The water runs through it. I hope that I answered your question.Best regards,Customer Service

The plexiglass is positioned so that it is "arched" therefore there is no issue with water remaining on top. However there were several issues I had with the one I bought and how the pieces fit together including the plexiglass staying affixed between the front and back tracks. It would blow out with winds and land on the ground. I would contact the company and make sure this will not be an issue.

It doesn't have to be filled to the top. The filter intake is long enough to draw up water even if it's 2 or 3 inches below the top.

Yes, there is a bit of raised edge that catches water. However sometimes my dogs will get some on the floor as well.

Yes very much so. the best way I find to fill it is thru the pouring spout.

No but it is not water tight. Mine has been out all summer, rain or shine and it does not fill up.

yes. the big lid on top. the small cap seals where the water comes out while you fill it

Water should not be coming out of the top. You only see water when you lift to empty bag. Check for hoses connected properly.

It has a vinyl tibe around the bottom you fill with water. I found that a little water holds it down ok. If it is windy it needs more water to keep it on the ground. Works great for my wife and I.

Yes the bottom compartment will fill with water, this is perfectly normal. It should not overflow, unless there is a crack in the base. I hope this helps!

The top does not allow water into the unit. The bottom however is slated and rain bounces off the deck and gets inside. Quick answer is, whatever is inside will get wet.

Yes. There is a clear strip of plastic at ther right rear corner that runs from top to bottom. The water level is quite easy to see.

Slightly, the roof is like a lid on hinges that opens up. It does have a lip all the way around the perumeter that would allow water to pool up.

Yes, it's by design. When the water rises it traps air like a bubble and seats into the top

yes it does. It's really easy to fill and have never seen water collect in it. Hope this helps.

It is not fully submersible. The water level can't be over the gray ring at the top.
