How often do you have to empty the water
1297988
I just purchased this unit about 2 months ago and I haven't had to empty it once! I opened it up last night to check again and not 1 drop. I leave it on 67 almost all day long! Some runs have been over 24 hours and not a drop. I live in southern California and I have a friend with this unit in Arizona and he said he has to empty his about once a month so it probably depends on the humidity.

If you want your system cleaned out, start off using it every other day for a month or 2. Then once or twice a week.

If you are using the toilet as often as that then you will probably need to empty the urine container once or twice per week not because of smell but because it will be full. Obviously this depends on how many people are using it! 4 people for a weekend can get it pretty full.

I do not empty mine. I use it almost every day and I don't remember for sure but believe that the instructions that come with it says to not leave it unused for 7 days. I am not real sure but they do make a suggestion.

I guess it is about 45 minutes. If you want use it more than this time span, you'll need to re-fill the water and keep use it as long as you wish.

It depends on how long you use it for. If you are doing it for a straight period of time you probably need to fill it every few hours or so.

Cleaning the tank depends on the water you are putting through it. If you water is coming from the tap and you don't have hard water, I would think that once a month is enough. I have been cleaning mine once a month and the tank is never really dirty nor are the rods.

Every 50 gallons of use. Or approximately 6 months. After 6 months I take the cartridge out and drain the water from it and shake it. If there is power in there your good, if not replace it.

I clean mine once a week by removing all remaining water in the unit, cleaning the center with a Q-tip, and let the product air dry for the day.

The directions say you are supposed to replace the water at least once a year. Also, if you have well water, you are supposed to add a couple drops of chlorine bleach to the water.

mine go for 2 months, maybe a week or two less if water is not as soft. it starts to get kind of dirty smelling after that ive found. it could go for 3 months probably for someone else, i could see that.

Don't know if it is necessary to empty the water after each use, but it is a good practice. Water in a closed container can harbor bacteria. If you remove the cleaner the batteries are are not making contact with a source so you don't have to remove them. Hope this helps

We use this for a number of months. I would say 6 months. You could see on ours the filter looked dirty. We have real hard water. This is a factor. Just a guess once or twice a year.

I change it every 6-8 weeks and I buy them from Amazon. Since the water sits out for approximately a week (unlike our human water), it's a good idea to use the filters.

It depends on how much waste your fish make and how much u feed them. But u can wash the filters out and use them 2 or 3 times before having to use a new one. But if you're like me and just use new ones i replace my filters about once per month. So i would say 12 times a year if you're always using new ones. Ohhh and if u do reuse them make sure u wash them with used tank water, u don't want to wash them with new water... Aka chlorinated water out of the sink... Theis will mess up you're good bacteria in your filter.

Cleaning intervals would depend on how big of a tank you have and how many fish and what kind etc. I clean my filter when I can see that the water flow has slowed down. I have a 90 gal tank with 7 med size red eared slider turtles (very dirty creatures) and I clean it about every 2 months. When I had the filters that hang on the side of the tank I had to clean the filters at least once a week and never had very clean water. Now my tank is crystal clear.
