Is it necessary to buy the bio spray? How often does the pad have to be replaced?

I use Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Remover, seems to work just fine. The pad is really heavy duty, I wash mine in the machine with a couple of towels, and it hasn't hurt it or worn it at all, it seems like it's going to last a long time. I have to say again that I really love the Piddle Place--so nice to not have to use disposable pads and fill up landfills, etc.

The bio spray is essential to the design of the piddle place and without would make it very similar to a puppy pad that needs to be changed regularly because of odor. The pad is made out of PBC plastic so it is machine washable. I didn't replace mine for 6 months.

Yes the spray has the enzymes that help keep the odors down. The turf dies need replacing but I'm not sure when it does.

I used the pad for nine months my dogs didn't use it a lot and I didn't buy the bio spray. So I got a roommate so there was someone to let my dogs out during the day that's why I stopped

I cleaned the pad in the tub,and kept the tray filled with the biochemical. You can get it at the pet store or camping-boating store its the same stuff you use for camping toilets. It will tell you how long it will last.ps they have a spray in the petstore that smells like grass

The pads last for a while. It depends on how often you use the device. You have to remember to keep them covered with the plastic shield that comes with each pad. You do not need additional gel or adhesive.

My unit is only a few months old, so I have no need to replace cooler pads..They last very well..Would not the answer be in the parts manual for this unit--Honeywell Customer Service?Great Unit!

I have not been cleaning the gel off and it works well still. After a couple of weeks the gel will turn into a glob which you can pull off and re-gel or just change your pads.

I bought this for a gift so I did not buy a replacement pad. Sorry I can't help you.

It is true. Unfortunately this pad is only great for a few months, MAX. The coating on the top will wear off and you will have to find a new spot on the pad to use. Much like finding a cold spot on the pillow. I cannot recommend this pad for the long haul.

The pads last a really long time. I generally toss mine after they start looking grungy. You can buy refills at a few places. You won't need many.

It all depends how often you use it. I'm currently using the original pads and I use it weekly . It just needs washing and it's good as new .

Just rinse the pad out weekly. There's plenty of good bacteria growing all over the substrate so you're not going to destroy it by rinsing. My pad is over a year old and works fine.

Yes, there are several different replacement pads available for sale on Amazon in different sizes. The one's that come with the unit should last a while. I stick mine back onto the plastic sheet and then throw them in a zip lock back; releasing the air also seems to make them last a but longer.

I don't use it outside, I use them only inside so they don't get sweaty, and I have had a pair for 5-6 years and have never replaced the pads, the more you use them, the foam will deteriorate. I keep them in a pouch to stay clean and dry. but you can replace them in a bulk pack on Amazon.

Hi Christopher,That is up to you. The bio spray is to eliminate odors in the container so you don't need to empty it every day. Thanks, EZDogFences

I bought mine about a year ago and the pads are still going strong! The device comes with two pads; just need to wash and air dry at least once per month or more often depending on soil levels. Hope this helps!

The pad is easily rinsed in the sink. But if you do the whole house at one time, as you seem to suggest. I would highly recommend that you buy a few extra pads that are available at around $6.00 or $7.00 dollars each and then you can change them as needed.

Im not sure I am the best one to answer: I have not used this every day. But I have sometimes rinsed it in hot water or washed off the pad with soap and water. I have not replaced it at all. It is doiing fine for me. If worried, I might clean it with a stronger detergent or maybe rinse with alcohol or something. I guess if it got too grungy I would replace it, but that has not happened so far. As I say, I may not be the best person to answer this question. In any case I am happy with it.

I vaguely remember that there was an internal battery of some kind and the entire pad had to be replaced. The pads last about a year and there's a warranty that gets you a free replacement if it goes bad sooner than that. It worked so well for us, and the cost seemed reasonable for the peace of mind, that I didn't mind buying a new pad. The customer service was good. I might have the timing mixed up regarding the warranty, so please double check.
